Is 25 old?

Plus I had a portable cassette player when I was a kid, and I bet you show that shit to a 7 year old now and they'd be confused as hell. I am officially old enough to say "Back in my day" and it's weird.

I have a feeling we've conversed about this before (perhaps it was with someone else) but there's nothing wrong with living with your parents if they are still ok with it; also if you aren't just bumming around.

When many people find out I still live with my parents, I am told they wished they did the same at our ages (early-mid or late 20's). Why? That would've allowed them to pay off any loans aggressively and save a crap ton of money to where they can leave and slap a huge down payment on their future house. These people are around 35+.

There is living with your parents and then there is living off your parents.


My son lived with us until he was 28. Once done school he paid part of the utility bills and groceries but since that was a small amount he paid off his student loans pretty quick. That is living with.
If he had expected to stay with us and have us give him money and pay for everything he would have been out as soon as done school. That would be living off.

No, it was with me. We have discussed this before. I pay my parents a small rent ($200) so I'm not freeloading. I just really want to move out. I want to finally start my life on my own. I doubt it will make me feel any better, but it's a start. I'm just tired of living at home.

By the Void. It's En taro Adun and Adun toridas...

I thought it was this but I didn't want to be wrong and look like an idiot

Agreed. As long as they are productive and respect the agreed to "house rules" nothing wrong with it. Don't want to do those two things? Well, I'm sure you have some friend that will put up with you somewhere.

But remember, the first 12 years of your life your mind was dead and your body was on autopilot then your balls dropped at 13 and you became a teenager. At that moment you gained some cognitive awareness of your place in the world, a small sense of identity and an overwhelming desire to fuck. While your body developed over your teens, and surely your sense of self and perspective on life evolved, the fog of bullshit that exists as a teenager on top of the persistent bias towards thinking with your cock essential choked any fundamental ability for your mind to play a role in your life.

Then enters your twenties. Hopefully your college education and experiences have given you some insight into yourself. Now it is time to get a career and get some real insight into how the world works. Thoughts of tits n ass still diminish reasoning skills, but at this point you have learned that ***** isn't worth everything (this is a start). By 25 you should have a decent sense of self-identity. Hopefully you have learned some humility and understand that you don't know it all, and likely can't predict what you will be in the future or what your future self will value or believe. At this point, you might be just realizing that you aren't going to be rich (and it is ok), that your eyes are bigger than your stomach, that big tits look better than they are, that your parents may have been right about a few things your teenage self was sure they were wrong about and that you still have a lot to learn.

Yes, someone at 25 may be a third into their life, but cognitively, they have just got started. They would be hard pressed to remember half of those 25 years. The next 25 will be a longer, fuller 25 years.

25 is not old.

Best shit I've read while on the toilet ever it was as if you knew me but there's only one thing I'm 24 😅


Yes I'll give you the rice noodle😘

Dude, I was in the same exact situation for years. I make some but not a lot. If you move out you will either be paying three times as much in rent and utilities or have to pay double and live with roommates. There is no reason to rent an apartment for one person if you already have a home. Stay at home as long as possible. If you can contribute, and I know you do, that is enough. Then if you do move out you will be in a much better situation.

Your life already started years ago. Live it.

Enjoy young; when you get 40 the days will go by a lot faster, its crazy. Life will go by a lot faster

Yes. No. Well kind of. It's a weird transitional age where some of your friends are getting married, going on expensive vacations, finishing up prestigious degrees. And the other half are eating cereal out of the box trying to get things together.
