think again
Quote From: twnty1inwi voyager101 : I know how my parents started out, and they don't want me to have to start out like they did..and if you think I have no clue about life, think again.. I've been thru more crap than most adults have..I know about life. Yeah, I guess I'm a moocher, because my parents are letting me get a better head start than a lot of other people by letting me stay at thier house, and save up. I'd rather be a moocher and be able to pay my way comfortably when I move out , than be kicked out at 18, not have crap, and have to live paycheck to paycheck. SO.. what does this make my girlfriend.. is she a mooch too because she's been living with me and my parents since she was 16... and doesnt pay rent.? Yes, I'm absolutely sure you think you know about life. Everyone your age does. I did too. I too had been through more crap than most adults. You won't be able to see it until you are older, and see that life and this world kick your butt more than you ever imagined possible. Someone once told me that when I was young and said the same things as you do, and I didn't believe them, after all I'd been through. But it is indeed true. It's great that your parents allow you and your GF to stay with them rent free, but as long as you don't pay your own way, you're both still moochers. Sorry. I hope you never lose your job or become injured or anything that would cause you to have to live oh so uncomfortably paycheck to paycheck, or lose your house, etc. You won't have the experience to handle it.
