And in some families, it’s common to live at home until one is married or needs/wants to throw money away on an apartment, etc. Or until one can buy a home of their own. Or gets a job out of the area,etc. If they’re contributing members of the family/household, what’s the big deal about living at home?
Sure; that is why I stated that if I wasn’t married with my own family I’d probably still live at home. I paid rent before I left, and here in NJ it certainly makes more sense than buying a home for a single person. School taxes are so high it makes no sense for a single person to buy a home here.
