[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 24 year old who earns $50k a year and is up for a promotion that will put her at earning $70k plus bonuses and she can remain living at home for as long as she wants to as long as she is saving money. We want her to be able to launch with enough savings for a down payment if she chooses to buy a home or enough to cover her living expenses for 1-2 years if she chooses to rent.

Why? That seems like an awful high bar to reach in order to move out. There are so many benefits to living with roommates/friends, I’m surprised so many people are dismissing it. [/quote]

there are absolutely no benefits to living with friends. it’s just a made up thing.

I want my kids to move out when they get married. My siblings and I did exactly that (not in the US) and we are all very successful.[/quote]

What a narrow mindset. If you’ve never lived with friends, how would you even know? And “success” - what does that have to do with it? Many people have lived with roommates and been successful, so that’s not really part of the equation. I hope your not singularly focused on success that you miss out on living with roommates or even alone![/quote]

why on earth would anyone want to experience living with roommates? only in the US this is some kind rite of passage. I never wanted to live with roommates, and i sure hope I never will. [/quote]

I worked for 5 years as a consultant and was basically a road warrior. Staying with my parents gave me a home and comforts that I would not have got staying in an apartment with room mates. I was able to date and marry the man of my dream, who also had a challenging career, because I was not running a home.  We were  able to buy a beautiful home in cash and started our married life with zero mortgage.  [/quote]
