We talked this morning that according to a survey, more than one third of workers under the age of 34 are living with their parents. Listeners called in to say they knew 40 and 50 year olds who still live at home with their parents! If we were their parents we would kick them out. We understand if someone lives at home because they are taking care of their parents, but if you have a job and are 30 or older and still live at home, it's time to move out. The survey we talked about offered suggestions to parents if you're ready for the kids to move out. Here was one of our favorite suggestions - Tough Love-As terrible as it may sound to some parents, you need to be unafraid to kick your kids out of the house. They need to grow up and start their own lives, even if it means they have to work a crappy job and live with three roommates.
Are you dealing with an adult child who won't leave your home? If someone does still live with you, do they help with the bills?

I think 30 is waaay to late to be living with your parents under normal circumstances. My goal was to move out completely in a year after I was done with college.
During the college years, I lived in dorms and apartments, so I was pretty much out, but still ultimately lived at my parent's house.
If you're 30 and lazy and you're a burden on your parents... you need to be out.
