I had to live with my dad until I was 24 and found the experience excruciating. Can't imagine making it to 38

I moved out at 19 and it was the best decision I ever made. My 2 younger siblings stayed a lot longer and apart from the cheap cost of living (it was pretty late that my dad started charging them rent and even then it was barely anything) I really never understood how they put up with it

yeah, i had some friends who lived at home for a couple of years after college... all they did was complaint relentless about their parents. but they also just refused to move out because they didn't want to pay rent or have roommates and would tell me I was a chump for paying rent and have roommates, and then I'd say how not living with your parents is the best. and they'd get so mad at me and not talk to me for a couple of weeks.

still, some people actually get along with their parents are are friendly with them and like being around them. blessed bastards, they are.

There is a lot of valuable materials inside flock cameras that can be sold for profit.

I moved out at 17, got married at 20, bought a house at 22. I also have been working since I was 12. After forty years of working, I still have nothing saved except some home equity.

this happened to me at only 19. I was homeless for 4 months after.

I'm in the same boat. Plus I was "unschooled" with neglectful mentally ill parents so my education REALLY suffered. Funnily enough I'll be turning 38 soon... but I've been working hard for decades and have a career and family of my own now thankfully

It sucks at 19 and isn't really fair because getting started is so much harder these days. Now imagine you were twice as old and had never tried to do anything with your life.
