re: How old is too old to still be living at home?

I know a perfectly capable college grad who still lives at home..who's 30
I know a sexually assaulted woman who moved back in at 37
I know a woman who retired from her job in her 50s and moved back in with her mother.
I know people who rent a house from their parents...which is essentially the same thing in their 30s.
It all depends.

The only one I don't agree with staying at home in your list is the 30 year old college grad. Time to fly and spread your wings.

I'll be moving back in with my parents once I return to BR (I'll be 26 by then), but that's just until I find a place.

The horrible grammar of your post and vagueness as to when you bought your first home makes me not believe you.
I remember the date, time and location of my first closing like my anniversary.
Just say you still live at home...no one is judging.
I type pretty much all posts from a phone. Terrible sentence structure, grammatical errors, incorrect words and redundancy tend to make it in my posts. IDGAF. I am an engineer in the oilfield. You are never home for your first few years (lived in Mississippi for 3 months, offshore, trainings in Texas, etc.). Not that hard to believe. Made good money, but had no reason for a place of my own. It's why I don't have a problem with staying at home.....to an extent. I had a plan. I was saving for a down payment. Luckily my parents were okay with it (although I literally maybe spent 30 nights there total). Thanks to them, I could put down 20% on my first house, I had enough for the down payment on my second house honestly. It made the next few years (getting married, having a kid) much, much easier.
As far as not knowing if I was 25 or 26, I got married within a few weeks of my birthday and remember that we moved in several weeks before the wedding. We closed on the house in December, but did some updates before moving in. Not sure if we moved in before or after my 26th b-day.

As long as you're being productive, or at least trying, I see no problem living with your folks. Now if you're being a lazy bum and not contributing then you should be ashamed of yourself. I know a couple guys from my neighborhood still living at home with no future. They're both in their mid 30's
I had a "career-job" gap between my internship and then where I'm at in TX now so I stayed home but I still had a job to make $$$ and in my free time I actually was busy applying for jobs or learning new skills on my own (i.e., programming, which is pretty important in my field these days.)

It depends on the situation,
1) I'd say 1 year removed from college.
2) Going through a divorce and can't afford to pay for a second home while going through the process.
3) Physically disabled through an accident
4) 1-2 years after high school if not college bound.

I left for LSU in August as an 18yo and never went back. My sister didn't leave til she got married at 29.
I think momma prefers my sister's way of doing things, though.

You get a 6 month grace period after college. Outside of weird moves or financial disasters.

I know 2 sisters that moved back home in their late 30's. No kids and neither has married. One is kind of an irresponsible loser. The other is an engineer and makes bank. They moved in after their mother died to help dad. I think he likes the company and they help clean, cook etc.
It's weird to me, but it seems to work for them.
Oh and they bring home boyfriends/guys whenever. Dad doesn't seem to care.

makes sense if you are not ready to buy a house. why waste money on rent?

I see no practical reason for anyone to move out of their parents house until marriage.

I moved out in August after my Senior year in HS and never spent a single night at home. I'm not saying that to brag about what a self-made-man I am but rather to say how much it SUCKED BALLS to be emotionally isolated at age 18.
I moved to Japan in my 20's. I learned that Japanese stay at home after they get that first job and save a huge nest egg. And then later they move out with money in their pocket. It made sense.
My super-motivated, uber-sweet, HS daughter asked me about pharmacy school yesterday. I told her that if she wanted to save money for 3/4 years after college graduation and live at home I'd welcome her. Like a business decision to accumulate wealth. So like instead of "age 25" being cutoff, maybe the cut off is "no debt and 100k in the bank".
I hope my three kids stay close for as long as possible. And yes, they may or may not be less independent than I was(Pimp Jr. is way more independent than the girls). But who knows, maybe not, and maybe they will be happier.

Did you have a separate entrance to the basement or did you have to bring the skanks through the front door?
