Don’t like it , theres the door. Okay, see yah. worked out good as far as our relationship. Same with my son. Since he moved out we are closer than ever. Yep.

Carlos Danger Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 On my wife's side a nephew who is 30 has never held a job for more than a few weeks. A guy who used to play on my beer league hockey team had a brother with Downs syndrome and that kid had a job and an apartment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry ginger Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) my sons in college still and i struggle a bit with him living at home but Covid cancelled he semester abroad that he moved home for and it makes no sense now. But June 1 2022 that fuckers out. he worked 50 hours a week this summer and 30 during the school year so he's self sufficient other than the roof over his head now. My 20 year old stayed out in her apartment in OH this summer after getting a job out there during the school year. She manages some smoothie shop for shit wages but it's OH I owned my first place as a jr in college, but RE was at the low at the time and i was much more motivated to be on my own.

Gold Member 800renegaderider Posted October 8, 2021 Gold Member Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) Just for shits and giggles I looked up the two bedroom apartment in Nashua my bud and I rented out of high school. It now cost 1,825 a month plus utilities. That’s insane just to rent I’m glad I’m not starting out right now 😂 Edited October 8, 2021 by 800renegaderider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure that is all different for different situations wether you're a republican or a democrat.

Yup, my son has worked with me since he was 14 and my daughter got a job within a month of getting her driver's license, 16 1/2. I had a job at 10, mowed 4-5 lawns in my neighborhood, had a real job at 13 working at Hershey Park, and I moved out at 19 once we got settled from moving to Syracuse.

smokin george Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 We have a couple neighbours that are harbouring fugitives lol. The one couple have a daughter ( that works) with a boyfriend and 2 little girls and 2 boxers living there and they're stuck looking after the girls and dogs all the time. The other couple have a daughter in her late 30"s living with them that we believe has been home schooled and never went to a school. The mother seems to be a wacko and rules the roost.

Or, "Career Educator". Both work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think h should explore the world huge issue and probably why a lot of young adults aren’t moving out. I’d rather my kid live with me and save for a house than throw money at rent especially if they know they want to stay in the area. They’d have to be saving though they start slacking off or show up with a new Benz they get the boot in the ass out the door. That buddy I rented that apartment with bought his house same time as me and that’s exactly what he did. He had two guys living with him that paid his entire mortgage. He did that for ten years and paid the house off. If you can live with people awesome way to basically live rent free.

snatchslayer Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) I was ready to leave at 20 but mom wasn't ready to move to an apartment. She liked the house and toiling in the gardens so I assumed the mortgage and she started to pay me a tiny bit of rent. Eventually my fiance and I were ready to move and get our own place and mom wanted to hit the apartment by then , so we moved her out I moved in the fiance. We eventually sold and moved to the country Edited October 8, 2021 by snatchslayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted October 8, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted October 8, 2021 I have multiple customers dealing with it. Many are working remotely and have moved into their second homes to get away from their kids. I bet in the last week I have talked to at least 15 or so dealing with it. Some just let it go, some are pissed and fighting with their spouses about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
