They lived at home until the day they got married (they bought a house), and their parents did EVERYTHING for them and paid for everything. They got married a little less than a year ago, and they've had a lot of problems, because neither of them knows how to do anything on their own.

Hmmmm....that sounds a lot like my folks. They moved out once they got married, at age 27. Both were working. But, their parents DID not do everything, all they did was provide a roof. They will be celebrating their 26th wedding anniversary this summer. You have to judge people case by case.

Whatever. If you have an additional 600-1000 dollars on your hands, you could probably afford to have a life more than someone cleaning out their wallets to pay rent. Even if you're not the type who's always out doing things, people can save that money to pay for a house, start their own business, or pay back student loans. |
