Read my post again. The eyes wasn't designed to search only mistakes in people. Have a nice century.
I wonder what you mean when you said teaching .
At 18 teaching , what was your salary like and come you were able to pay rent and other expenses with such payment.
Cause I know some private schools don't even NCE holders well not to talk of an O' level holder.

please how is my post any different? if you stay away from home, you get disconnected easily from home


you can't stay in your comfort zone and expect not to rush home for help or aid. I stay close to home and do that during those days not until I left far away and hustle like a lion while i scot with some friends


getting help from parents won't make a man most esp grow

smile, huzzle like which lion. just say, you found favour(it worked out for you). what difference does it make if you go far. when e hook you, you will still call home for assistance. most friends don't really care, so, one can be a pest squatting with them. besides, everyone destiny is different, they same route you pass and succeeded, another person can pass through and get burnt. for example, I have traveled very far to stay with a relation that we were both huzzling, could you believe the relation was using me to request money from my dad. because the huzzle was real, no money, food at all

I'm in my early twenties and done with school.
I'm a full time blogger and internet marketer, and was actually planning to rent my own house before the lockdown started.

There's no one disturbing me, the only reason I wanted to leave was to move back to Owerri where there is better electricity to continue my hustle.
That was where I finished from though, and if your parents are not disturbing you, don't listen to any lady telling you that they cannot date any man in their father's house... Lol
Even most of the billionaire kids are still staying with their parents. The free food you're enjoying means a lot, and don't hurry to leave, remember coming back is more difficult.

In my house, I have my full respect. Most times I don't even come outside my room till it's 11 am, especially if there's light. The condition is very conducive for a hustler, and if I leave, I left on my own.

Live with your parents until it becomes uncomfortable. That's the key.

I don't get our people sometimes. A man with two sons has three houses in his compound. People said the first son should build his own house in his name. He did. The father died years later and he had relatives move into two of the parent's houses in the village because the second son relocated to Switzerland. Who is enjoying his father's sweat? The same relatives that cajoled him to build his own house. Isn't that wasteful?

Anyone that tells you to move out of your parent's comfortable house before you are ready, tell them to force you move na.

see you. rich kids don't huzzle, they simply live big & probably get married and properties before you. with all the huzzling, your car won't be as beautiful as a person with comfortable parents own, coupled with an old wrinkled face to show for all the huzzling



I have been in the street for a long time & still trying to survive, while my cousin/childhood friend is getting married this week. our both parents are very comfortable, but mine chased me out of the house after my degree at age 23 to go huzzle, while my 2nd stayed in his fathers house till he finished his masters. he was assisted to get a small job, father gave him a house and a car & about to get married now, while my own father is still using me for experiment at age 30. i might not be lucky as others, but definately dont deserve this sufferness called huzzling0. I just tire for this life, I can't even think of marriage sef.

I am a teacher right now, so you can imagine how the last 5month has not been easy, with no salary. but I can say, family and friends have been supporting me, I even call home for foodstuff

Truer words spoken!.

I have a family friend, whose dad has a small bungalow, with other properties rented out.


The man never allowed his sons rent a house outside, he told them if u leave my house, u are moving into yours. And that was it. The First son an engineer married to a medical doctor, still live with his dad.

Second son married, built his own house and packed out.

Third son followed suit before relocating to dubai.

Fourth son, who happened to be last graduated from law school, then moved in to Live with the third son, who later, left naija.

Now, first son has built his first house, but rented all the apartment. Still living with the dad.

Only daughter was the only one who was allowed to leave house to a rented apartment.

I think this leaving house of a thing deals with; Job, liberty to indulge into youthful exuberance and exploration , toxic parents, and poverty.

Freedom is good, poorly handled can be devastating.

Nice submission!

Most of you in support of Op are just looking for a way to give yourself excuse. Even if you are calling popsi and momsi for money from time to time, move out. Hustle for yourself. You will learn more from not being in your comfort zone. I know you are scared that things may not turn out well, still move out. Get a place of your own. You will learn financial and life experience that you wouldn't get receiving 200 naira everyday from papa.

I know a man and his younger sister who still live with parents
And they both have respective good jobs
Will you say that their value has reduced?
There are young men making hundreds of thousands monthly
Still in their parents house
Has their value reduced


Your value reduces when you add no value to yourself and the house at thag age
Not because of the fact that you are still in the house
Did you find out if they are happy staying with their parents? What if they are wussies who can't tell their parents what they want in their life?

I remember teaching around the age of 15 and 16. I was, paid 10k per month. I combined it with home lessons which brought in around 25k at the end of the month. I rented a 1 room apartment and the rent was 24k per year. We hustle for this life

The question should be... at what age does living in your parents house become unacceptable.
That should be more appropriate, using two of my cousins as a case study.
* John moved out base on popular demand without any suitable means. He spent few months & returned. It was even friends & family assist that prolonged the returned a little. And of course, keeping him afloat will mean directly encouraging certain lifestyle which is always the hiden truth of move out early advocates.

* Peter is still in his parent's house. Yet built his house "3 flats" & put it on lease, has a car and worked with FG.

Note: Happiness, comfort & certain choices are very personal. No one should create any standard on that. And families don't operate same, many have the means but don't see the need. Funny enough, most that see the need don't always have the means. So it is clear wisdom, instead let the temporary discomfort be the push for financial freedom because the whole story ends on the alter of finance. A lot of youths who are a product of a disorganized country would certainly be reading & this thread might increase their already depressed situation, not knowing most comments are social media life.

John & Peter not real name though.
I pray we all have the ability & see more opportunities to create enough wealth to sustain the choice of life we wish for.


bukatyne:
Like I said in that other thread, the discussion of when to leave without a pressing need to do so is a lower income/poor man question.

If your parents can comfortably house you with a bit of privacy, stay put and leverage on their housing as much as possible to build wealth.

Some people have saved their rents while at home and moved from their parents' home to their own home.

Only ensure that while at your parents', you pick some bills as a sign of maturity and responsibility:

I am sure that when you get to a certain age, your parents will acknowledge you have relationships and give you the needed space if you are not changing partners like underwears.

No sensible parent would stop a young man/lady of 24/25 years from a weekend getaway at a lover's place or hotel if you have established the relationship at home and you have proven to be responsible especially sexually.

Neither would they stop you for a late night hang out once in a while with friends.

Obviously coming back home drunk the first time might tell them you are not mature enough to handle such privileges going forward.
My point exactly
