There is is always something somewhere. They might not always be glamarous, but money earned is money earned. I never received pocket money in high school and had to go out and deliver newspapers every morning all through high school. And after school I started making plaster of paris christmas ornaments and curtain tie backs etc to make more money. I always said I will never wait on someone, because I knew I would suck at it, so I found alternatives. There are jobs, just maybe not what suits you.
    There's just a time in your life when you just can't accept money from your folks anymore, hahaha! It just feels soooo wrong.

    I gave my inheritence to my little brother and sister from which my dad left us and I said that they should use it towards finishing school, because I know that I can sustain myself very easily. I just enjoy being at home from a perspective that I'm just so used to having people around me every single day and ja it would suck just chilling on my own...

    Hey, I'm not judging anyone for staying with their folks, well except maybe Raven, but what I want to know is how does this affect your and their social lives? What if you folks wanna romp nude through the house or you wanna invite home that hottie you been dating for a while for some quality time?

    Lol, same here! I have to pay the maid sometimes. Then my mom comes to me wanting to pay me back and I refuse to take the money :P

    I caught her trying to sneak it into my wallet the one time but I just put it back in her's when she wasn't looking

    My folks have a good few years left in them so I'm not too worries about that. My boet is still busy with his degree at uni, but that shouldn't take too long. After that I think we're good :P

    Well ... to the first point ... that's not something I'm inclined to do and,

    to the second point - I'm not currently dating, and not looking into starting either, once again, the fact that I'm planning to go overseas is a limiting factor - what happens if I hook up with someone who doesn't want to go overseas? What happens if I like it over there and decide not to come back?

    I prefer to just avoid annoying issues like those.

    Mine are not the kind of people to do that and I don't get much chance to meet notties, nevermind hotties.

    The singularity is about to explode! Weapons are at maximum.
