I dont know, maybe they cant afford to move out.

I'm 22 and still live with my mom and dad. I'm in school and can't afford my own place after tuition and books get taken out of my paycheck. There ARE reasons. I would assume that either OP can't yet afford their on place due to circumstances or they have an agreement worked out with mom and dad.

With tuition upwards of 20k a year plus thousands in books and a small chance of working full time and passing classes? It's not very uncommon to live with your parents till after you graduate and find a decent job (that can take years in this economy)

I agree. It's funny how comments like this get downvoted to hell because "the economy these days" when almost every other 23 year old has moved out.

I'm turning 23 on wendsay and have no hopes of moving out anytime soon. I've been in and out of school and jobs still trying to make my way. A good majority of my friends still live at home. I'd say it's 50/50 the amount of people I know who live at home. I have cousins older than 25 who have gone to school have jobs and lives of there own but still can't afford to move out. The economy, job, plus rental fees are making it impossible for 20 something year olds to make a life for themselves. Not to mention minimum wage is shit. And yeah not all jobs are minimum wage jobs but minimum wage sets the bar for all other wages. Minimum wage goes up, all other salaries go up. So yeah it's not just losers living with their parents anymore.

Because everyone is so financially stable at 23 and can afford to in these unpleasant economic times..

Thats just for people who give a shit if someone hears them watching ****.
