    Fun Fact: my mom had no idea we had a social media account until about 3 months ago. One day out a lunch, a random group of people started yelling "IT'S THAT CHEAP GUY!" and asked to take pictures. And ya, I am still trying to prove to my mom that I am funny...baby steps.

      I agree but I do believe in children paying a bit of rent. If you let them live rent free completely then they get used to their full salary as disposable. If you are making 120k, you could contribute 500 to rent to your parents and then use the rest to pay off loans or save up for a house of your own.

    There is one family of expenses that this man does not have to worry about which makes living in Sunnyvale (not a cheap place to live by any means) a comfortable experience.

      Well buying home early is different from moving out and renting early. If you buy, at least you are building equity and can probably sell the house for more than you paid for it later. Renting tho... you are just helping the landlord with their mortgage or putting money in their pocket.
