My advice is stay home. The longer the better. I'd be willing to wager people living at home past 25 are wealthier than those who left at 18 by the age of 40.
Left for college and never looked back.
I would take the other side of that wager Pooh.
My goal is to raise my kids to be independent, hungry and ambitious. I am not their pal or their room mate. I have no intention of making things comfortable for them at home.
I have one kid who just graduated. I ride him and trash talk him a bit. The pecking order is never in doubt. I don't charge rent or anything but as soon as he rolls up some bank he needs to set up a home and live his life.
The trickiest part are the girl friends. I am not an asshole but if it feels a little awkward then we're good.
If you can't swing rent or a mortgage then you need to amp up your game kid.
Okay. Duly noted I guess. So you left for college and never looked back. I stayed home until 28. I'm 42, worth a couple million and make around $400k a year. How about yourself?
I mean no offense but I heard you on radio a few months back and you sounded like you were late for Wapner. Almost like if Druff ever decided to meet you he'd end up a lamp shade wherever you live.
Druff is safe but I sent this out to you while you were recovering from your red tide health scare.
I been pretty well off and I've been busto. I never had family as a net. Not that they couldn't afford it. There was just an understanding. My gambles and career were not my parents problem.
I got a health club up here and can't wait to sell the land to some developer and lay everyone off.
I am back and forth to Naples. Some day Pooh.
The Wapner thing has more to do with my autism.
He hasn't revealed as far as I can remember, but here's my take on where sanlmar lives.
I've wavered between Concord and Lexington, but I'm going with Lexington.
Not a slag. My wife spent her highschool years in Lexington.
No need to confirm of deny, sanl. Just grade me on my guess.
And be glad my guess wasn't Hopkinton.
the address i live in is on my birth certificate
Hence my second sentence, moved in to an apartment and never moved home. No summer or winter break going home (went to college fairly close to home though).
Two things I don't understand about college kids:
1. Why you would ever voluntarily live in a dorm? I worked since I was 16, worked through college except when I played cards for 18 months to support myself.
2. Kids living at home so they can work one job. My wife worked three jobs after graduating college to live on her own. Like what kind of incredible horrible human being do you have to be to live off your parents hard work because you only want to work one job to "support yourself"?
Because college kids are lazy, violent, entitled liberal pieces of shit. Back in the day we actually worked to get through college. I know I did. While I commuted and lived at home and worked two jobs. Still managed to make Dean's List for five semesters in a row. Still managed a 3.89 in Finance. Now these dipshits just want safe spaces, free hugs and a nice place to riot.
They're actually worse than n-words.
Left for college when I was 17, and aside from the summer after my freshman year and a couple of months after I graduated I never went back. My daughter is in college and living on her own and seriously doubt if Tony Jr will be moving back in for anything other than summers after he leaves for WSU next fall.
One of the big problems with college kids and millennials in general is social media. They are addicted to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Porn and new applications I know nothing about. Not to mention video games.
When I was in college in the 90s you had rudimentary video games that sucked, and low grade porn from a video stores you had to rent. I guess I am getting old man syndrome now. I remember my roommates and myself every Thursday night would go to the bowling alley and just drunk bowl to midnight. Just getting hammered on pitcher after pitcher and having a blast and stumbling home. I mean you were 21 and did not have class until noon. You mention something like that to a 21 year old in 2016, you get this shocked look. All the while they are pecking relentlessly on their phone to their friends, not moving or having any human interaction.
It's just weird. But its easy to see a normal college grad aged 25 in 2016 not having a job holed up in their parent's basement. They would rather try and make a career making Youtude videos. Sad but true.
