<p>My brother lived home for a while,2 years, helped our Mom after my Dad died, but pretty much had a lot of freedom. He saved up for a home with his finance and never felt bad he wasn’t paying 1000 a month or more somewhere else. My nephew did the same thing, for him it was a nice condo and some savings in the bank. They didn’t leech, helped pay for things but nothing compared to the rents in our area which are high.
My niece lived in a studio not to move home, cramped but “alone” which is what she wanted…to each his or her own. : )
Budgirl, when my sister lived home for 2 years, back in the 70’s,before my Dad passed, my mother didn’t need the money and saved her room and board it for her, it was a nice surprise when she needed a new car when she moved out.</p>
