People who earn loads of money but still live with their parents

lol paying rent

yeah, cunts

i don't know anyone who earns lots of money and lives with their parents. why the fuck

Ken C hates child actors.

who doesn't

This thread is offensive to Indians.

Macaulay Culkin tried to live with his parents but failed

However, living with Michael Jackson worked out well and set him on course for a well-adjusted life.

This was supposed to be a 'new' social subgroup a few years back IIRC - they were specifically talking about young men (always men) who'd otherwise get called chavs but were raking it in, at least for the purposes of funding their lifestyle. All I can remember of the strawman set up to illustrate this was that these guys drink Smirnoff Ice

Ten Bob Billionaires was what I've always heard them referred to.

these people are good. by not spending money on renting over-priced fancy apartments, they can go to poor underprivileged non-graduates and AS families at a greatly reduced price.

fucking losers

why so angry?

the quote that in one stroke explains the vast gulf btwn uk and us ppl/ilx posters

WE DO NOT HAVE "CHAVS" IN THE US

WE DO NOT USE FANCY WORDS LIKE "STRAWMAN"

YOUR SMIRNOFF ICE JOKE IS ALL BUT LOST ON US

WE SHOUT IN ALL CAPS HERE, ALL THE TIME

LOVE IT, BE IT

precisely

I've no doubt there's a transatlantic equivalent with helpful Americanised reference points, dell, but I don't have the luxury of having read about them several years ago in a broadsheet so I'm not the person to turn to here

i get what yr saying DJ Mecap, and i apologize for my nonsense

i woke up at 4 in the morning u.s. time, and my brain right now is like a benny hill television rerun playing backwards at the moment.

I hate these people because I'm jealous that they are rich and have it easy.

My folks would NEVER have let me live with them.

And I would never want to live with them. Visit, as often as possible. I love spending time with them. But live there? Nope.

Also - they live in the middle of nowhere.

But good GOD what I could do with the extra money I'd save. W$$t.

Is there any consideration for age? I live at home, have no expenses, and make over $50k. But I just turned 22. I don't plan on living at home forever but I do enjoy building up my bank account.

The boy Chu makes a solid point.

I see nothing wrong with this. Getting another place when you can live with your parents for free just seems to me like a waste of money.

i have a friend from college who does this. he's 26 or 27 though. it'd be nice to save all that money, but spending most/all of yr 20s in yr parents basement is a big mistake imo

Is it a guy thing more than a girl thing? Srsly, I don't mean to stir shit, but I meet so many guys who have no idea how to cook, clean their clothes, pay bills, etc cause they lived at home way past school leaving and mummy did it all for them, and then they move into a share house or with a gf and are useless messy gits.

I just thought I'd wake up from all your sniping, culturally blinkered people. Just off the top of my head I can think of two of my friends/colleagues who lived with their parents EVEN AFTER THEY WERE MARRIED (in fact, one is moving out only this weekend, and he has 18-month-old baby girl).

This thread is offensive to Indians.

Italians, too (which is what I originally misread for "Indians"). Some magazine had a feature on it, even.

(That is, a feature on Italian men who live at home well into their thirties)

I seriously can't go home for more than 24 hours without saying to myself "I'm so incredibly fucking glad I don't live here."

People who live with their parents, why are they "basement dwellers". Why don't they live in the room they lived in as a child?

more comfortable living in a cliche

I've seen it with girls. I know one girl who is still living with her parents while she pays off a mortgage for a place she rents out.

But she's Italian so that's her get-out clause here.
