At What Age Did You Move Out Of Mummy And Daddys?

Shelter is a human right but owning your own home isn't. As stated many many times prior, a man on a minimum wage can afford to rent a bed-sit. If only they have the self-respect and balls to stand on their own to feet independently.

If only they have the self-respect and balls to crawls on there knees to a landlord... oh wait...

Well of course you know no better, you're pushing 30 still yet to earn, learn, and yearn the independence of being a real man. And this is something you will ONLY realise and appreciate after you've FINALLY grown a pair, moved out of the parents, and stood on your own two feet to provide for yourself AND others. When you actually sit down and think about it, it is hard and shameful for a fully grown man to suckle at the teet of his mummy.

Oh, and as you've decided to glaze over the results of the poll, over 87% polled moved out to live independently from their parents by the age of 25. Yet there you are claiming to be the man...

So seriously answer me this, which option should I take.

1, Stay at home a bit longer buy house next year, shortly followed by a cheapish wedding and hopefully children.

2, Move out this week, enrich a landlord while struggling to save a deposit, delay marriage as still saving for a house, delay children as we don't have a stable home to put them in (and not married if you want to keep things in order).

I assure you I can get many references from the local community about what a nice man I am and I will add every single one would use the word man, actually they would never guess I still live at home as I am a nice, friendly, independent type of bloke who has had the balls to stand up to many things he has seen wrong in the local community.

I can confirm there will be no transformation when I move out and I will be the exact same man I am now, I am more than happy for you to quote me on this when I move out next year.

One last thought actually, as it is you are claiming to be more of a man by belittling other men...

A real man never objectifies or belittles another to make himself look better.

Game, set, match to me I think. :beer:
Good night and god bless.

He currently brings home just over a grand a month, the job he has now is site labourer and the site he is on is due to be handed over before christmas so he will be out of work again.

He has got no chance of ever getting a deposit together for a home of his own because he is always in and out of work plus rents for a one bed place around here are around £400 then all bills on top plus running a van so he cant do that.

He has got his name down on the housing list but as he is a single working man he is last on the list. He was offered a temporary room in a hostel when he got divorced but decided against this and chose the garage instead.

The situation above is just the same as all the other peoples situation really, lots of people live with their parents because they dont earn enough to buy or rent, he lives in the garage at his sons.

Im presuming your imaginary friends earn a better wage than my imaginary friends do.

If he is earning just over a grand a month then he's on around £13k or £14k a year? So you've used another example of a minimum wage person.

So your basic point is this: "I have a friend who is middle age and he's on minimum wage in a unskiled job. Not only that, he is in and out of work a lot. And he can't afford his own place. What is wrong with the world?"

Is there anything really wrong with that picture? Sorry, but if you're a single person on minimum wage and an unsteady income why would you be even entertaining buying a house? Who would lend that person money? Doesn't matter if house prices fall 10% or 60%, he can't buy a house.

And sorry, yes, I don't have any friends on minimum wage. I'm in my thirties, most of us have ten years career under our belt.

I think Jimmy's mate should be able to buy his own place.

Yep my mate grafts for a living and doesnt earn enough to buy a house or rent one.

But that’s the case for a lot of people and has always been the case.
