Kill it! KILL IT!
Oh, God. Hideous. Bitch has to be an E.T.
Velvet, I do in fact live with my pops. Three reasons:
- Economy sucks
- College is kicking my ass
- There is a HUGE chance that when he gets his back operated on soon, he might not be able to walk. Old care for the young, then the young care for the old. That’s how we do things here.
What with the hideous rise in house prices over the last five years, I think there’s virtually zero chance I’ll ever be able to afford to move out now.
$700,000 + for a regular suburban home - it’s just ridiculous. That means I’d have to pay back a mortgage of over 1.5 million just to own my own house. And not even a particularly great house at that!
We are now officially the most expensive city in the world in terms of house prices.
And forget about renting…
24, still living at home. can’t find a job with a college degree, it’s crazy.
all I need is a 2 room apartment really, so that’s my first goal to obtain.
Hey Peligro, try moving further out than Black Rock.
By my house they got this medical company called Novartis, which is like a big big deal company, and we’ve got all the old scientists and chemists and shit working at the local stop and shop now doing the shelves at night cause theygot let go… so uhm yeah… future’s really looking bright for some of us.

Try limiting yourself to three beers a day.
I still live with my Mommy and Daddy. FUCK why not??!! I get free cable, handjobs, and all the beer I’ll ever need! lol
Did move out once for a few months. Didnt like living by myself so I just moved back in wif my folks.
^ Now that is a stark contrast between the 2 previous posts.

Why? I think I deserve at least 6 after working hard to put a roof over my own head.
… H-handjobs?
Never change, Xtra.

I do. I’m 20. Have been working at walmart for the past year and a half basically blowing those checks on cds, dvds, shows, traveling, instruments, whatever. I still plan on going to school but I never found out where I want to go or for what so I’ve been really stuck. I think I want to shoot for Austin.
moved out of my parents house 6 months after college. I haven’t lived with my parents in 10 years. odd to see some of the neo conservatives on the board still living with mommy and complaining that houses are unaffordable on a working person’s wage… looks like consumerism is only for the wealthy! wait till the wealthy start doing what they’re doing with houses with your necessities.
As far as I’m concerned there needs to be some over sight and the wealthy need to be taxed so they do not become the new dictators. I’m not saying make us all equal in Pay but make it so affordability of goods and services is fair (NOTE “Fair” and “Equal” are NOT the same)
Amlux’s tale is perfect example as to why the American dream is dead! How many people here have a boss that doesn’t do shit and has high salary job because they know somebody and NOT because they can do their job effectively? Meritocracy is dead and the rich Killed it! Amlux lucked out cause he’s friends with the guy so he gets a cushy job and still succeeds. I offer this tale as why the Mantra of the Right is bullshit! “Work hard and you will make it”
Hard work doesn’t mean shit if your competition knows somebody in charge!

that sux! since everybody got forclosed on that means rental prices are going to go sky rocket because people HAVE TO rent! not a good time to be out of work or home! Don’t let it get to you too bad though at least you got your education out of the way. College is on the ridiculous cost rise as well, and it’s only going to get worse!

i’m 29 and have never not had roomates or lived with a girl currently i live in a huge house with 3 roomates i know at some point gonna have to try and live alone but as long as i have a door to close when they piss me off i’ m okay btw i’m typing this from my mommies house gotta love free food and cable
sister’s appartment complex caught fire today… right now i’m watching the cat as she and her boyfriend go through the mess with my mom… so they’re moving back home.
in this economy it seems unless you’re older andalready have a home and a good job, getting one, regardless of your education seems pretty damn hard. it’s more luck nowadays it seems, and yeah as said who you know…

bet the land lord will be rolling in insurance money… that is if they pay up… hard as hell to get insurance companies to hold their end of the contract.
yeah good luck scraping out a living nowadays, All the “hard work” in the world is gonna benefit some lazy rich fucker and not gonna save your ass unless something in society changes, soon!
it’s really sad because a total class war is needed and yet our dear leaders have effectively masked it as a race war or misdirected it at the wrong class… As if poor people are the reason you lost your job and couldn’t make your mortgage…

Well for alot of families it gets to the point where they either mortgage their home and take that crap shoot or end up on the street… it’s their last shot in the dark in some cases, using that last cash inflow and hoping that either they get a job or something happens… even in some cases the “new” j0bs that politician love to say get created every month, well it’s fucking mcdonalds and walmart and sorry, even if 2 parents and 4 kids all get jobs there it still won’t cover the bills and interest from the months that the couldn’t pay.
If I had the luxery of my own house i’d actually probably consider downsizing to an apartment or a much smaller place just to pinch pennies…definately move out of jersey w/our high taxes to a much cheaper state

Not necessarily. A lot of people are doubling up or moving back home to reduce/avoid paying rent due to lack of employment thus there hasn’t really been a substantial decrease in rental vacancies so no big price increases. A golf clap for the sheeple of America who thought they could afford a 500K house with no money down and the big bucks earned from custodial work. A wag of the finger to the bankers who should’ve known better but they, they won in the end, they got all the money and then some courtesy the US taxpayer. Enjoy the new yachts you wily bankers you.
