Most people don't like reading something that says, "well, you could do this, or you could do that" Wishy-washyness doesn't help anyone in the long run. Again, i'm not opposed to living with the parents for a little while to get your feet off the ground, pay off debt, etc. But the least that someone can do as an adult coming back to live with their parents is do extra chores around the house, pay some rent, or buy some groceries on a monthly basis.

Living with my parents was awesome! They are so cool and way better roommates then all the ones I go through. As for becoming an adult and making adult decions you are right. You also shouldn't get "comfortable" not paying rent. I think most parents, and my own, want you to pay some rent or usually help out more then when you were a child. I think most bumming college kids get away with getting free rent just because their parents do miss them unless you have family issues that were never resolved in that case you probably don't even want to live back at home. I miss living at my parents house. One big bedroom to myself, a guaranteed parking spot, healthy fresh meals, tons of food in the fridge, solid internet, cable tv, the list goes on, and did I mention my sweetie kitty is still waiting for me to come back??? Although many college students fall into a trap going back home to distress and recharge their batteries for the real world you should keep in mind that I need to save up and move out and be an adult. If your cat is still at home and you couldn't bring it because you moved to some exotic island destination be sure to see it regular when you move back and hug it. -the finance ninja i write a personal stock market blog and i miss my cat I have to disagree with you.
