This is really interesting.
I went to college and came home to live with my parents. I had been in a really bad car accident involving a semi and still needed help. Then right after I finally finished all the therapy and surgeries I needed I tore my ACL which meant more down time (this was from 2002-2004). I had a full time job the entire time, but my parents wouldn't take money from me. They always had it in their head I would just live at home until I was married. As soon as I was recovered from my ACL tear I moved out. My parents were SO upset, but I was 24! Had I not needed help because of the situations I was in I would have been out sooner. My parents and I are EXTREMELY close, but I am too independant. Now they would HATE for me to move home.
My company shut down in April and I was out of work for two months. Because I worked for a non profit unemployment wouldn't kick in. I appealed and won, but for a month and a half I had NO income and not enough in savings to cover everything .My parents gave me a loan to tide me over. I've since paid them back, but that is how it is in my family.
