Several years ago my son decided to get his Masters in data technology. Went part-time at work and moved back in with me. Cooked most of the meals, went to the store, took out the trash, kept his bedroom and bathroom clean and did his own laundry. Glad to have him back for a short time but he was glad when he finished and could move out, go back to work full time, and no longer have his bicycle stored in my living room. Win-win for everyone - but only because it was temporary! I love him dearly but as adults we both need our own space.

My daughter is currently sharing an apartment with 3 people near her campus, because it makes financial sense. She is working the summer and then will start classes again in the fall. (Only because if she takes classes in the summer they charge almost double for the same classes she can take in the fall) If she were working near home and had no roommates to share expenses it would make financial sense for her to live here. Our family has always been like this though. We never believed that a young adult had to immediately move out to be considered "doing it right" right is what makes sense for those involved.

But then we are a family of merchants and self starter business people. The kids worked in the various businesses because it's just the way it is done in my family. Many of us also have had jobs but we always have some form of business on the side as well.

My daughter grew up in my Father's carpet store. She is already exploring an internet business using youtube. And we have a huge commercial building that has several apartments in it and we live in one. There is ample room for her here so it is always available for her to use.
