[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sometimes people need more time for their brain to mature too to make wise decisions living independently. Impulse control centrals on average are not fully developed until age 25. I'd rather my kid live at home, save money and keep working on skills of independence-paying some bills, cooking some meals, keeping a job, etc. Then leave the nest with savings, a stable job and a well-developed impulse control center.

After graduated from UVa in 2002, I got a job for 75k/year and moved back home with my parents in Mclean for two years so that I was able to save up 90k/year in the bank.  With 90k in the bank, I knew I could take risk.  After that, I quit my job and headed to Silicon valley and joined a startup there with virtually no salary for almost 18 months but with stock options.  The company was later acquired by another company and I was able to cash out my share of company and I now live very comfortably in Mclean right next to my parents.  None of this would have been possible had I not moved back home and lived with my mom and dad for two years.[/quote]
