How many of you fuckers actually do not have your own place...

Sticks and original stones

I started living back with my parents since leaving college 6 years ago, to help my mom when she was diagnosed with cancer, and help my dad cope with her death a few years later, while also saving money to pay off my loans with. But I know it's also partly due to my own shortcomings and immaturity.

Still, the idea of having to spend $950 per month just to live in a run down apartment in a dumpy part of town is pretty grim, and I wish I could meet a woman that was happier to know I'm saving and investing that money rather than throwing it in a pit for the privilege of living in a pest-ridden hellhole.

Too much of a poor fag for going solo, couldnt leave my crazy parents otherwise

I am 22 and most likely moving into my own place in the next few weeks.

I could afford my own place, but it's not like anyone's going to fuck me. Why spend all my money living in some tiny apartment listening to shitheads through the walls when I can live at home for cheaper and have actual privacy?

I am 29 and still live with my parents. Though I got a new job and I should be able to live on my own soon.

Living with parents isnt actual privacy though

Age 30
Live alone in a karate dojo (yes really). I live in a sublet room for $260 a month.
as for why because it was cheap and way better then the other places I stayed, plus living in solitude is the fucking best to me. I love it and will not willingly go back to living with room/housemates again.
Before this I lived as a room renter of a broken down trailer with some old mean dude who was a asshole. Left when the water pump died and his lazy ass refused to go fix it. I ain't paying for a place that would be condemned if the city found out the living conditions. I reported his dumbass when I left too.
Before that I lived on labor camps, which sucked because no privacy and most were literally crackheads, drunks, and just plain crazy.
Had to be so careful with your stuff so they didn't steal it.
Before that I was homless for a bit, mostly traveling. It sucked but wasn't unbearable.
And before that I was neeting at home in my hoarder mom's house that was totally infested with roaches to a point you probably wouldn't believe would be seen as tolerable unless you seen it with your own eyes. Also got bed bugs too, which sucked. Had mice problems until we got a cat.
I love my mom but I just couldn't live like that anymore. It wasn't the main reason I left, but it is one of the reasons I am glad I left. That place was so bad for my health and I didn't even realize it until a month or so after I left.

Fuck, what a life story.

Its nice to know you are in a better place now user.

30, live alone.
Women say they like my place because I have a bunch of eccentric items scattered around each room (things that I enjoy as well), and they all end up being conversation pieces. It's easy to convince them to spend the night because my place is comfy, in the center of the city, and I have a brand new king size bed that is comfy as hell.

I don't have a car, but because of where I live it looks like an intentional choice and like theyre the weird ones for living so far from the city center.

29
with parents

lived with old college roommates for 5+ years but they ended up moving/getting married/etc. I never tried dating, and I don't want to live with random other people. I was also tired paying rent in the area (low rent is ~1500 for a single bedroom apartment). It's dumb to line the pockets of some fat, land lord and live in perpetual rent serfdom. I'd rather save for a house and help out my folks since they are getting older and struggle with some strenuous yard work. I also don't want to sign a year lease while searching for a new job.

make around 80k now, so i've been investing/saving for a bit. Was only making 50k a couple years ago due to shit job. It will be nice to be debt free soon. might buy a cheap condo or tiny house eventually. I wouldn't try dating after moving out most likely. Too old/awkward at this point.

I dont, wouldnt matter if I did, I had an apartment for 2 years and it didnt getting me any closer to getting a gf. not to mention ive known guys who were in their 30s and still lived with their parents and were fucking college-aged girls.

Awesome read user, I'm glad you're better.

>living alone is the first step to get a gf
cope and no evidence while chad can legitimately get a gf easily with evidence

I've lived alone since I was 20 (29 now)

The majority at my job who is dating live with their parents

So I don't think that's why any one here doesn't have a girlfriend. I wouldn't even consider a major focus for improvement

45, living with my widowed mother.
The catgirl who I would consider leaving my relatives behind for has yet to become genetically developed.

Damn that video is great inspiration to workout and eat right.

Time to pump some iron myself.

I'm 20. I live with my parents. I study full time at uni and work part time on the side. Housing in Sydney Australia is unreasonably expensive, won't be moving out till I have a decent fulltime job. I have a gf and she's in the same boat.

I live with roommates because it's 1/3 the rent of having my own place and I'm saving up to buy a plot of land and build a yurt. Enjoy having your shitty single bedroom apartment.

23 and living with parents. Why would you spend 1500 just to live somewhere? I thought about it but all that I could probably afford is a crappy apartment in a bad neighborhood. If I had to choose living in poor conditions just to get a gf, I would rather be alone.

29, live in my own house. Used to be with my fiancee, now it's just me.

>23
>Living with parents
Renting solo ain't cheap in Australia so I'd rather just stay with my parents for a couple more years and just buy a house outright. I could probably rent on my own but if I moved out and rented I probably wouldn't be able to afford a home loan for like 5-6 years. If I go hard at it now I'll probably get there within 3. Plus with this whole boomer remover shit the property market will (hopefully) tank and I can snap up something decent/cheap.

God damn that sucks. A dojo I imagine is a much more disciplined and clean place than all the other shitholes you've had to endure. Glad you got out man
