I hardly even see my moms cuz of our diffferent work schedules. I think they were more concerned when I wasn't home. Pops was worried sick about me for a while. I just think people find it hard to understand that a family might actually want to stick together. Everyone in my family (cousins, aunts, uncles) is taken care of. My generation is doing pretty dam good too [pic]

It has nothing to do with mind !!ing........its what you do when you get grown, you branch out , you get your own........wtf wants to live with someone the rest of their life? You cant justify people being scared to leave the nest bruh..........thats all it is.........your scared to leave the nest because you might fail.....so Ill stay here with whomever because at least I know if worst comes to worst I wont crash and burn........its ego, its pride, its selfishness, and its fear.........but you same people will turn around and look down on a poor person living on section 8 because they are not making it like they should......but your too scared to put your own neck out there..........[pic] this country is crazy.

But who taught u that tho homey? At what point in history did that become the thing to do? It wasn't always the "hip" thing to remove yourself from your family and try and do your own thing.

And of course I'm afraid. I can live on my own, and have taken care of myself before. But I'm afraid of making terrible choices with my money just so I can !! !!es. That's not my life.

U don't think its selfish at all for parents to kick their kids out the crib tho? It's not ur ego that's even making u say all this crazy !!?

I never look down on section 8 folk (except when they sittin on my car) cuz I have lived with them for most of my life. I left, got my degree, now I'm home building for my future.

Be proud of all u have, and keep spending money and !!ing !!es, but don't think someone will listen to ur jealous[..] !!ing about what they should have to do just cuz that's the life u chose.

Struggle is only for the poor and ignorant. Life is not a struggle for those with lots of money and knowledge. Stop buying into that bull!!. Folks expect u to struggle just cuz that what real niccaz do lol.

Jealous? Your a !!ing adult being spoon fed, I mean get serious bruh......all this building for your future !! is a cop-out, there are PLENTY of people who moved out, had kids, went to school, got degrees, WORKED, and still got ahead in life. Plenty, thats a bull!! excuse..........and I cant even judge you on your decisions in life Im just saying keep it real............there is no way your bum[..] can sit here and tell people who are grabbing life by the balls that pretending to be a visionary in life while living in your parents basement is the way to go about it. Its just not and millions of normal adults will tell you this......but what ever gets you through your day.......homie.

Here we go.........i knew you was that type.......the poor and ignorant? Spoken like a true herb that has never had to struggle one day in his life.........You know nothing about life and this very statement proves it a great deal..............but you keep leaning on your parents so can transition into your life of money.........Ill bet when you do get on you will be one of those " I dont want my tax money being spent on the poor" type !!ers too.

See you was making sense before and now you just completely lost me. "Spend money and fuhking b*tches." You not seeing the bigger picture. Why is everything have to be so extra with you guys on here? Fact of the matter is and maybe this the end all be all to this convo and that is, we're all raised differently... we all have different goals and ambitions... and some of us, for the most part dont mind getting a little dirty in the process.[pic]
I'll be honest with you g...

I DONT EVER WANNA MOVE BACK WITH MY PARENTS.
And they good people, I see their[..]es all the time. But 1st and foremost, Ima GROWN MAN! I dont wanna backtrack I done came too far to let recessions and fuhked up job markets bring me down man. But we all different. If what youre doin works for you then so be it. Im just a little taken aback by some of the !! niccas is saying on here. Like when was it NOT cool to want your own !!? niccas in here talkin like you have to be in a fuhked up household to wanna branch out and do you?! lol
Whats that?!

Nah you k!lled it. smh

"Thats what real niccaz do." *sigh

Forgot where I was at for a second.

Nothing wrong with living with your parents until your loans are paid off and you got all your !! together. Friend of mine did his intern ships and paid off student loan debt all within a year after he graduated.

Dude now has a great paying job and is living a good life. Imagine if he got his own place and a good chunk of his income when to utilities and rent. He made the right decision and you people can talk about struggle all you want but this dude had a plan and executed it.

People mentioning all this crap about doing your own thing is non sense when the option is available. Why should you suffer when logically you can prosper if you wait it out. I am currently living with my parents and I attend to stay there for another year to finish up my internships, volunteering and paying off my student loan debt. I planned this out years in advance and so this isn't me being lazy. I can easily afford to live on my own but the logical decision would be to wait it out.


Its going to pay off with a very high paying job with no debt at all.

There are 2 types of people, ones who grew up with struggle, whose parents struggle but still survived and those who never struggled and who dont ever plan to struggle.........there is no right or wrong in either , its just if your type to never struggle and would rather give your left nut then to experience that other side of life, I cant respect you as a man or a person. Not because of your parents but because when it came time for you stand on your own, you decided to instead let your parents do your standing for you..........now to some that wont mean a damn thing.....but that is what makes you a real man or a woman in my eyes........now why it bothers me is because you mommy dearest bastards grow up into real !!s looking down on others who are struggling like you did something right in life because you have success. But your success was gained by having no balls and no back bone.....and quite frankly you can keep the money if that means you have to live on your knees the rest of your life............also people like that are more prone to thinking people need to cater to them and their needs........its a fundamental loss and a serious growth stunt.

And props to those who are going to school or working an internship who chose to take the rougher path in life to reach success.......not move in with mom and dad cause you were scared of a little adversity.

Do any of your friends live at home too?
Where you & your patents stay is that where you grew up?

U hit the nail on da head bruh. Its all about how u were raised and what u want. That's all I'm trying to show. Not everyone is gonna have the same situation or feel they need to do the same things. Not everyone wants houses and cars, not everyone wants to be saved by christ, not everyone wants to win an olympic medal, not everyone wants to know what it feels like to k!ll a man. Its not possible. Its just dumb to say people need to do this or that just cuz its what u do.

We will never be the same, ever. Its not possible. Of course some people are gonna feel they need to move out as soon as possible, some will stay forever, and some will move out when they are ready.

In reality, there aren't enough resources available for everyone to live the same lifestyle.

Were you overseas for OIF OEF at all? Any disabilities?
Hit up the VA. (if youre a vet)
VA been good to alotta cats I know who I served with.
Dead[..]

Edit: Whend you join? Honorable discharge at 21?
You sure that wasnt a dishonorable?

I don't see anything wrong with this. Only thing that pisses me off are freeloaders when you're an adult.

I live on my own, but if my job was in the city where my parents are at, I'd probably live with them and help them out with bills and renovations with their house and !!. Of course, once I get my own house, my parents would always be welcome to live with me. I guess this might be a cultural thing. [pic]

Thread is 8 pages, there must be a reason why.

I read this article a couple days ago tweeted the author and cursed her out I called her an "elitist dumb !! kinda like Amy Chua" she tweeted me back "I'm proud of being compared to Amy Chua" I tweeted her back "Your classy tweet outdid my negative tweet so i'll pay the check and exit stage left!" ... she retweeted that (true story). - Keith Clark

So u and your parents and your parent's parents were just born into money and always been rich forever? Nobody had to work or makes sacrifices,compromise, struggle so that YOU or your parents can live the way yall do? So now only poor and ignorant work hard and life comes easy to the rest. GTFO with that logic.
