Sorry, if you are able bodied and of able mind in your 20s and not attending school, and you live at home.... you are a LOSER and a LEECH... if you are in your 30s and meet those criteria.... and its not a temporary thing, divorce, bankruptcy etc.... you are just hopeless.

I agree. I am in this generation and have seen more than a few friends move back in or never leave their parent's nest. Some are approaching 35. Most don't pay rent or contribute to the household in a meaningful way.

If your Mom is approaching sixty, it's a safe bet, she doesn't want to do your laundry, cook you dinner and make your bed.
When I was 24, my Mom was in a bad car accident and I was forced to do a lot of my parents' household stuff. It would have been easy for me to move back in with my parents (b/c I was single and not making much $$) but I didn't b/c I knew it would be a step backward.

At some point, and I think by at least 25, you've got to take some responsibility for your own life.
