View Full Version : Livin' the life

I'm 26 and I still live at home but only because I can't afford to live on my own. I do my own laundry, I buy my own food, I cook for myself, I kick in half the rent and the internet bill which is 20 for my own personal dial-up and 40 of the 50 for the family's dsl. I buy phone cards so I'm also paying my own long distance, PLUS any necessities that the family needs and I can provide and trying to keep up some semblance of a social life, which also costs money. My student loan is in my mother's name which she paid until I got employed and now I've taken over they payments. But I still play video games and watch cartoons and I read comic books, I also read REAL books but that's another thing entirely. Where do I fit in with Wonderboy and his like? Are there any other people going through a similar situation, where they live at home but they have financial responsibility, and self-reliance? Hearing all these cats on the radio talk about how their mothers do their laundry and whatnot pissed me off because I'm fighting like a madman to make the ends meet and to be responsible but there are enough similarities to make me stop and wonder where I fit in. Help me out people. Am I like Al and Wonderboy?
Aw damn. Was that me?

I graduated college when i was 22. my father told me he would give me one year to get a job and move out, before he kicked me out. not because he didn't love me or because we fought, but because it was time for me to become a man. I got a job and before i could save one paycheck i was out. And never looked back.
by 26 I owned my own apartment. not rent, but owned. plus had 2 car payments. You have to take that leap, or you'll never move out and never get anywhere.
And I play video games, and collect comics and all that jazz. That's just(i hate to use the term) Gen X stuff. There's nothing wrong with that.

Iused to tell my folks that they were not helping my lil sis by letting her live with them at 25. But now since my pop had medical trouble, I'm glad she's there to help them out.
I'll never bitch about it again, she's helping them out so much..thanks sis..

I couldn't wait to move out. Rent's a bitch, but I think it's worth it.
