Are you in the ATL area? DC rent is absolutely ridiculous too. You cant even rent someones basement in the suburbs for less than $1000/mo. My friends are paying $2200/mo for a 1 bedroom/1 bath.

Coming from one of your best friends for about the past 5 years, do your thing bud. I'm proud of you either way. Keep it real Finch

I think many older folks find it hard to believe, but the rising cost of college and student debt coupled with a poor economy and poor job market have more kids getting back home for awhile after college than ever before.

17 years 10 months. Haven't lived in the same country ever since moving out.

Is this a real thing people ask themselves in this situation? Btw, if you think about it, you can have secks many places.

Everyones situation is different. I was able to stay half at my SOs and half at my parents for about 1.5 years after grad school. I paid off all my debt, purchased a vehicle, bought an engagement ring, and paid for a nice honeymoon without missing a beat. One of the best financial decisions I ever made because I would still probably be making loan payments.

This is true. It was much easier for us GenXers to work our way through college, paying rent & tuition. It's really not comparable any more. I moved out for college at 17 and never took another dime from my parents. That would be extremely difficult to do today.

For me it's just smart to live at home. I'm 22 and I'll graduate in 3-4 semesters. I've been saving much more money than I would have been able to had I moved out. Been dating my gf for 5 years and we'll be getting married when I graduate and get a career type job. Between the lack of bills by living here and no college loans, I'm able to save much more. This way my gf and I won't be dirt poor when we get married. Just a smart business decision. And unless I ate water and air and lived in a complete dump, there's no way I could afford to live on my own anyway

I do notice though with the economy being as tough as it is a lot of people leave before they are ready for dumb reasons (so I can have sex and walk around naked) and end up having to move back in later due to debt. When I move out I won't be moving back in. I'd rather be ready than push it and have to come back

To be fair, you are missing out on the ramen noodles & no name beer rite of passage along with the first bonding experience most of us had with our new spouses - paying off student loans & debt.
I wouldn't trade my struggling years for anything in the world. They made me the driven & accomplished person I am and it's always romantic looking back at the "hard times" with my spouse now that we are comfortable.
I can see it being a good business decision, though. Just missing out on some strong character building.

If you are living there and taking advantage to put aside 25-50k a year for a couple of years....I commend you. That is the only good reason for one to be gainfully employed at 24 and living at home with healthy parents.
If you are not saving 90% or more of your bring home pay after any expenses(car,utilities share,etc.), I would perceive you as spoiled and immature.
