I had to live with my dad until I was 24 and found the experience excruciating. Can't imagine making it to 38

yeah, i had some friends who lived at home for a couple of years after college... all they did was complaint relentless about their parents. but they also just refused to move out because they didn't want to pay rent or have roommates and would tell me I was a chump for paying rent and have roommates, and then I'd say how not living with your parents is the best. and they'd get so mad at me and not talk to me for a couple of weeks.
still, some people actually get along with their parents are are friendly with them and like being around them. blessed bastards, they are.
I moved out at 19 and it was the best decision I ever made. My 2 younger siblings stayed a lot longer and apart from the cheap cost of living (it was pretty late that my dad started charging them rent and even then it was barely anything) I really never understood how they put up with it
There is a lot of valuable materials inside flock cameras that can be sold for profit.

bout what Id expect out of a chan
I moved out at 17, got married at 20, bought a house at 22. I also have been working since I was 12. After forty years of working, I still have nothing saved except some home equity.
this happened to me at only 19. I was homeless for 4 months after.
I'm in the same boat. Plus I was "unschooled" with neglectful mentally ill parents so my education REALLY suffered. Funnily enough I'll be turning 38 soon... but I've been working hard for decades and have a career and family of my own now thankfully
It sucks at 19 and isn't really fair because getting started is so much harder these days. Now imagine you were twice as old and had never tried to do anything with your life.
I regularly tell my parents that the reason I am not like so many Americans, is that I have a supportive family. I live with my parents, but I would likely be homeless if they weren't here for me.

May a person never become this incompetent. ☮️
Is no one here going to tell me why this is fake and gay? WTF do I come to the greentext community for? Just serious comments about people's own experiences? Fucking shameful
Is no one here going to tell me why this is fake and gay?
Given the type of person who frequents 4chan, it is likely the most heteronormative and real-ass thing ever posted in green.
Well it’s gay because OP has touched dick more than he’ll ever touch a woman.
Idk about fake though. It tracks pretty much with what I’ve known the average 4channer to be like.

Poor guy, they failed him
Horrible parenting tbh. And their son reminds them everyday how they failed as parents so they're just kicking him out.
Yep, I think kicking your kids out when they turn 18 is fucked. But, it's better to do it at 18 than 38.
I don't know what the solution is, but it's not this.
Running on the assumption this is authentic and heterosexual, Anon's parents massively dropped the ball creating an adult with no will to fly the coop. But then to cut them off cold turkey is totally fucked up. Anon is now permanently 15 years behind their peers. Not to mention zero retirement savings. That compounded interest takes 30-35 years to really start to matter. But Anon gets to miss out on 15 years of that, too.
I really hope things work out in the end.
