[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funny today kids move out of home immediately when they could live at home almost for free.

I am no fortune teller but my 23 year daughter who has an apt in Boston with her friend and moved out right after college will be like this poster at 43.

Here job is 100 percent remote and although apt only 2,700 a month and her share $1,350. With utilities and food let’s say $1,500. Now imagine she just lived at home till 26 and got 5 years just put $1,500 a month in a plain old money market fund. [/quote]

Where is home?

I met my now DH when I was 27 living in DC. Thankfully we were able to get on the property ladder back in 2013 and do have a nicely updated, close-in home. But I can empathize with how hard it must be for people starting out in this market.

If I had moved back home for 5 years at age 26, I guess I could have saved more money. But I’d be living in a middling third tier city with few job prospects in my field and certainly wouldn’t have met, married, and had a kid with my DH by 30.

Living with mom and dad until your early 30s comes with major draw backs in independence, career prospects, and dating potential, so your daughter may just be better off in Boston where she can network and meet people her age.[/quote]
