unless it's at Abberly!
Unless they're paying for their college out of pocket and/or with scholarships/loans. Basically the only time I wouldn't consider it "on their own" is if the parents are paying.
That's the biggest problem these days -- kids pick stupid degrees that aren't going to earn them much money, or don't realize that the degree they're picking requires grad school. Look at how many psych or philosophy (for example) students there are in undergrad that have no intention of going to grad school. What are those people going to do when they finish school, exactly? Not much. What a waste of 4+ years of college.Shouldn't an interim security clearance be in place so that's not an issue? After school I had to move back home for a few months before I got a job, but after that it's been all good by myself.
Come to Baja hunney!I know a lot of people living with parents/family..who are doing so because they are lazy and have no initiative. Sometimes you have to work super hard for little pay and live in the ghetto without cable. thats life. Many of them are college grads who move back home because they don't want to work at a job they think doesn't pay them enough..or isnt their "dream job" I have no sympathy. I wiped ass all through high school and college, and have lived on my own apartment since I was 20 and a senior in college..before that I lived in dorms and aside from one small loan, all the other college loans are in my name and I received scholarships to cover half of my tuition.
I can't hear "im living with my parents because the economy is bad" one more time without going nuts. These same people look at me like I am crazy when I say I have two jobs..I am doing what I have to do to keep myself afloat. I will say that living expenses around here are extremely high..so people had better prepare their children for that fact.
And damniiittt if I am not going to have to start wiping ass again if I lose my job.

#### I'm 34 and still trying to get that accomplished
I've already told my kids youre out at 18...unless you want to be working & going to school & pay rent. You will have had 18 years of a free ride so time to grow up! I'm trying to push my boys to join a branch of the military because we just wont have the $ to put them all through college.
That is what I told them, same thing my parents told me. You & I sound like we had the same type of child hood. My brother & I were raised one way, while my two younger sisters were raised another. My brother & I are married w/ kids, have jobs, a home, etc... Granted my sisters dont live at home w/ my parents...but they only reason they are out on their own is my parents suppliment them $$$ because they dont want them and their kids staying w/ them
Your sister can stay with me!
You want their kids that they can't take care of? I doubt that her parents will keep chipping in if you're willing to take care of them. Just a thought.

Stick the kids in a cage.... Her sister is hot!
