Quote From: lmystic28I am a 28-year old and I live with my parents. I have a college degree. My last year of college, I moved home to pay off my bills and find a what I thought was a better job which I suceeded. I found a house and began exciting move to be on my own. Unfortunately, the job was not as great as I planned. I was moved to a danerous neighborhood and forced to work by myself in a retail setting with no staff at allI tried everything I knew to do to make my employment situation better with this particular company, I asked to be transferred I tried to move up in company to a better suited field. I tried to go back to school but because of the demanding schedules and the dependency, the company had to me, I didn't.
I ended up quitting when I wasn't even able to search for other jobs. I am currently unemployed and spending most of my days on job hunts, interviews etc. My parents want me to go back to school on them. Of course I will not let that happen! I will pay also. Since I have been home I have offered them money, and I cook and I help them with everyday chores because I am so grateful that they would let me come back home until I finally get out on my own. I want to move out but I want to do it right. I don't want to move out knowing I can't afford it and end up homeless. Is that bad?
Not really. If you are genuinely wanting to be on your own--if that is your ultimate intent, but you have legitimate setbacks, then no, you're not a moocher.
However, you are in a position which you can fall under the pattern of one. Just don't let that happen and be diligent in achieving your goals, okay?
