[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD wanted to move out, she has a good paying job and a good career in tech.  But, we encouraged her to save her money and continue staying with us. Marriage is on the cards soon, and we do not want her to walk into her marriage broke. [/quote]

So she’s never going to live on her own?[/quote]

Why should she?  She has already lived away from home through undergrad and grad. [/quote]

But was she supporting herself?  I agree with pps that having that time when you are full-time employed and living independently is important before living together/marriage. [/quote]

Let’s see…no, she did not earn money during HS by doing a paying job, as she was always busy with internships and volunteer work. In college she got a generous merit scholarship so I think of it as supporting herself. (Even though we had saved for her college, we had to pay only a very small amount).  She made some money in paid internships in college that she used for traveling as well as opened up a sandbox brokerage account.

She is in a high paying career path and quite aware about what she wants in a spouse,  in her career and her family life. Economic emancipation is important for her above all.  Mama has not raised a fool. But, I understand that there is a cultural component to it too. [/quote]
