My sister met her husband he was living at home he had a great job, and a  FAT ASS bank account! I think this is more prone in other cultures too. I have a guy friend who is an awesome catch that chicks turned their nose up at because he lived with his mom. But he saved his money and paid for more than half his home in cash. He makes pretty good money but is able to live like he has more because of him saving.

@JustMe  no the list does not give any reasons

 

@Siren - your bro-in law is certainly more of the exception and not the rule. a guy living at home and actually stacking cash is cool. the problem is the gentlemen and i use that term loosely, who claim to be stacking cash and saving who are basically being mothered well into their 30s and 40s. i met an ex who was living at home with his parents. he claimed it was because his dad had a a heart attack and he "returened" home. that was a load of BS. his dad did have an attack but was able bodied and retired and smoked cigarettes all day. he was back home because it was rent free and the meals were too.

@max I agree that there are a lot of dudes who are home because they ain't s***. There are more now than when ummmm yeah you know back in the day. This economy is screwed a lot of younger men say 23-30 who due to economy, student loan debt and also families struggling needing help they are stayng home longer and moving home.

i had a feeling you'd be sympathetic.

@Siren - definitely indicative of the times. I remember growing up each and every one of my uncles living with my grandmother until they found a lady and moved on. they also came back home anytime things got rough or a realtionship failed.

 

if my mom or dad had an estate like a southfork, my ass would move back home in a minute. otherwise hell nah. one of us would be dead.

@Siren, a guy living at home actually taking care of business is a good thing... But a lot of guys still at home never left, or returned when someone put them out...

I know two guys that live with their mom or grandmother completely by choice, making over six figures a year... One actually built his mom a wing after his dad died... Situations
Ike that can be a gift and a curse...

*Disclaimer!!!!!!! These are not the men that I am referring to!!! LOL I do think that women will sometimes not even listen to a guys reasoning or whill  overlook a decent guy because they won't take the time to see much past "That Nikka Lives at home"

 This had to be written by a white woman.  The black version:1. He just got put out by his baby momma 2. He just got out of jail 3. He is a momma's boy 4. He is taking care of one of "sick" parents, who died or is perfectly fine. 5. He is lazy 6. He is not trying to ever move out.

I believe that it depends on the situation. I just turned 23 (le sigh) and a lot of guys I went to high school with (I grew up in an extremely wealthy area) have come home after getting their degrees to apply/get their Masters Degree, or have an abundance of student loans to pay off so they wanted to eliminate the cost of independent living and focus on reducing their debts and stacking their chips before going out into the "real world". These reasons I don't have a problem with, however I do have an issue with men living at home who are 1.) not in school, 2.) not a new graduate, and 3.) unemployed.
