My parents taught me wicked work ethic , had to have a job since age 14 to have anything extra I wanted . Had to start paying rent right after HS graduation . Always been a hardmotivated worker but that is something parents need to teach , aswell as proper finance management because schools sure as shit don ' t . Lived with folks till I was 23 25 now paying $ 500 a month rent nothing crazy . Then put 60 k down on my first house . Yes your situation would disgust me and I wouldn ' t stand for it as a parent . Oh and my girlfriend at the time lived with me at my parents for 2 years and also paid $ 500 . Same with my brother . My parents were almost getting a good deal but I ' d say all the bullshit they had to put up with us kids made it almost not worth it . Hahaha
