    Default "I live at home with my parents to save money for a house" v. stripper excuse...

    I felt like starting shit today, so here goes my attempt to see how many people get defensive:

    It's the same damn excuse so that you don't look bad in front of your friends and/or a customer.

    Seriously, these two statements are on the same level:

    25 yr old man (graduated from college) - "I live at home with my parents so that I can save enough money for a downpayment on a house"

    stripper talking to a guy at the club - "I only strip while I go to school during the day. Once I am done with college, I'll quit..."

    Now, both statements CAN be true, but typically they are not. I am not talking about those who are in college and still living at home. That's okay as you don't really have a real job yet.

    I am talking about those who have already gone to college and have a real job. How many of those people are TRULY saving money for a downpayment while living at home for free? Seriously, I have a feeling that most buy new cars, tvs, toys, etc rather than saving for a house. If the houses in that area of too expensive, I have a solution: MOVE! Get a townhouse or a condo. They don't cost as much as houses and it gets you out on your own! The market is so good that you can buy with no money down!

    I just take their word for it, cause really I could careless if they want a house or like to strip. Maybe they are saving for a huge downpayment. $40K+ down vs: $10K down.

    No no, don't confuse the two. I was saying that guys/people that use that excuse are the same as strippers who use their excuse for why they strip.

    This isn't about strippers buying houses...

    Sometimes it is just time to get out and move on. You gotta grow up sometime and experience REAL life. Delaying it FTL!

    to each their own, but after going off to college I couldn't see myself moving back home. my mom isn't bad but still, then again maybe she is. hell at a dinner party last year I asked to be served a glass of wine and she responded "you don't drink". needless to say I didn't get any and I was 26 at the time.

    Bullshit excuse. You want to save money, get a cheap apartment and save. This excuse is for people who are lazy and want mom and dad to take care of them forever. Get a life, move on, grow up and suppurt yourself.
