I Still Live With My Parents

Okay so you guys will probably say this is lame and pathetic, but yes I'm 27 and still with my dad. My mom lives in another state (it's a long story and will not go into details). So anyways times are still hard and we help dad as we can. I live with my older bro (who still lives with us) and my one of my older cousin. We all help pitch in and help dad out with bills and utilities. We can't afford to buy groceries like we used to so we help my dad to pitch in. I go to college part time and I don't start my new job until next month and it's also part time. One of my best friend really would like us to be roommates one day. She said she and her mom will be moving out (In December hopefully) of the house they live in now and they asked if I wanted to live with them. I said yes at first but now that I think about it....I still gotta help my family with the expenses and I can't be too far from job and plus....well I just gotta help my family. I gotta tell her....I have another cousin that still lives with his mom because she can't work anymore and he helps her with fiances in all. So...yeah. Don't get me wrong, I would like to have my own place one day but as of now, times are hard and I gotta help my family out.

Nothing pathetic about it, nor lame. In the modern world, where the ultra rich have stolen almost all of the money, it's tough for everyone below the upper-middle class.

& yeah, in that situation, putting your family first seems the right thing to do.
