@matana parents being fuck ups does not really excuse their kids being free loaders without any real sense of independence or responsibility. I have a friend that went through med school and for most of that time he did live with his parents so he would have money to actually do that without killing himself. That's something I can respect.
I think kids should separate from their parents as soon as feasibly possible because it helps them become their own person and it gives people a real reason to exist beyond just becoming a blob with no direction in life.
I get that it's hard these days to actually move out because of older generations screwing shit, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to become independent to the best of your ability.
Sorry @beardalaxy but @matana is right. Wasting rent only so you can live "on your own" is stupid.
1) Humans should not live alone, unless it's necessary.
2) You can absolutely learn how to cook, clean and live under the guide of your parents. It's actually better that way. And if you have a multi-generational household, it makes parenting easier. Most decent grandparents would love to spend a few days a week with the kids. And the adults need help.
3) Even if nothing else, it helps you save up for an actual house. Money should not be flowing at any cost.
@LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy @matana I think it depends. If it was somehow possible to own a home at a young age (possibly after getting a degree and a decent job) then go for it, but that's not the case right now.
