I always told my DD that I'll live with her once I'm alone. She thinks I'm joking
We also told her that she never HAS to leave our house. I have no problem with that, I don't see it as a some kind of failure... Maybe because I was raised in different environment.

@bbk Absolutely!

@rocket We've got some friends not in good shape ,& their spending habits wore off on their kids so this will be interesting .The nut doesn't fall far from the tree !

@TXNS_fan I understand. Emotionally many of us we to keep our kids home. But for my household we don't view it as practical or ultimately helpful to their growth as adults. We have told our kids that most likely we are going to die before them which tends to be the natural order. That being the case we want them fully prepared to survive on their own once we are gone. The fact of the matter is there are adults that are living at home well into their 30s and beyond that have never paid so much as a home utility bill. They know nothing of maintaining a household budget or any other practical knowledge of caring for themselves outside of their parents constant guidance.So when they inherit life insurance money or property many will not know how to manage it because they will lack the life skills to deal with it. That's why we have insisted that they learn to stand on their own two feet in order to prevent them from being knocked flat on their back by life later.

@nikkioletake notice... you're been kicked out of the house

Man i left home at 19 and worked two jobs to make ends meet living in a small one bedroom apartment. There is no way in hell i will be living with my kids as i like to make my own decisions.

@cbp210 :
Yes we all do but what happens if you find out you have Alzheimer ? Have you got the money it takes for some one to stay in your home & care for you or go to an assisted living ? Insurance for assisted living ?

@bbkYes i do. I even have a will. My mother has a will and insurance plan. We are prepared.
