[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope my kid comes home and lives in the basement and saves rent for a couple of years.  What's the point of blowing $1500 a month on an apartment and eating out?[/quote]

Exactly.  I agree.  I feel really sorry for the kids whose parents refuse to let them come back home.  Seems completely self-defeating and stupid.[/quote]

It seems so stunted to me. It is not expensive to live in a group house in DC, and anyone who has graduated from college has the ability to regulate the amount of money spent on eating out.  How does one ever learn to live independently without actually doing it? [/quote]

A year or so at home after college is hardly "stunting" a young person's adult life.  Deciding to save money is the smart decision of a mature person.  Choosing to live from paycheck to paycheck, with no savings cushion whatsoever, is the decison of very young, immature person.

Plenty of roommate situations exist for young adults - but I hope my kids choose to start that life with some money saved up.  YMMV.
