Damn, I'm so lucky to have my parents.

ayenoc · 01-26-2007, 03:17 PM

So ya, some of you might know me in the forum and I've been on this forum for about 4 months now. I just wanna say that I'm so lucky to have my parents. At the age of 24, my parents till support me until today. I always wanted to work on my own and make my own money, but my dad never wants me to. He wants me to concentrate in my study and be where he is now. As of now, I still live with my parents with 3 other siblings. I have a older sister which is 25 and 2 half brothers from my step mom. My dad still pays for my bills which includes Food, Allowance, Clothes, cell phone bills, credit card bills, Insurance, skool and everything. With this in return, I do lots of errand around the house. My sister and I take turns washing dishes every other week, clean the house, take my mom to work cuz she doesn't wanna drive even though we have 6 cars.. My dad and I are the only drivers in the family and we have 6 cars just sitting down there.. Im just so lucky to have my pops.. He's a dentist with 2 dental office 1 in L.A Ca, and 1 in Long Beach Ca. As for now, I'm going to skool and following my dad's footstep and be come a dentist soon and take over the business he has.. My sister just graduate from college and soon she will be in a dental skool.

Thanks for the time reading this =) Post up your situation and I will gladly read em all.. WOOOOOOOOOOO

I wish my parents were like that....
I still live at home...but I pay rent, all my bills, my food, everything. My parents do not contribute a single $. But, in my opinion, I see this as good training for living on my own. I wont be as screwed when I move out.

kuziken · 01-26-2007, 03:22 PM

dang....some have it a lil easier than others...thats great to hear though bro....your dad must make a ton of money..

***Cybergypsy*** · 01-26-2007, 03:23 PM

Very few people get to be in the situation you have. Just don't squander it. This is rare opportunity.

**truflip** · 01-26-2007, 04:31 PM

Cool! Filipino families tend to be like that huh.

***Cybergypsy*** · 01-26-2007, 04:36 PM

Not really my son was in the Air Force when he got out he was 21, I bought him a house......why not???

Spoiled is a state of mind.....if you can doit!

Vince · 01-26-2007, 04:47 PM

I fail to see this as a good thing. Sure it has it's good points and I'm glad that you're happy, but no, I can't agree with a 24 yo male living at home and letting his parents do this and thinking it's a good thing.
Man up.

Sorry if this offends, but oh well.

SiRyan · 01-26-2007, 04:52 PM

^ IMO I think its a good thing as long as you're still concentrating on your studies as a full time student. The only thing that would be bad about this is if you're just living with the parentals just to bum around and not help yourself in any way. I was like that until I stopped going to college and started working full time. If you're asking me I'm filipino.

SIcBoy · 01-26-2007, 04:52 PM

are you filipino

SIcBoy · 01-26-2007, 04:59 PM

cuz if you are thats the same way my girlfriends family is, mom does not like to drive and they have a car for each person, dad doesnt want her to work and paid for her truck and now her bills, wants her to go to school get a good job.

and all they ever say to each other is AYENOC

but hey thats would be the bomb life style, if my family did that for me,
i have been paying for all my own stuff since i can remember, i dont dare ask for any money or help unless i really need it

**sickyute** · 01-26-2007, 05:06 PM

i'm in the same boat ... i don't hace a choice though ...

international student here ... all bills paid ... own a home that i never paid a cent for ... the only thing i pay is my car note and mods ... insurance and everything else is handled by dad ...

but then all my younger siblings have it this way ... and my older sister had it that way until she got married ...

my time will be up as soon as i'm done with school so i'll enjoy it now

06Fg2 · 01-26-2007, 05:23 PM

I love how people get pissed when you tell them that your parents pay for everything. I am in the same boat as you Ayenoc. I'm 19, live at home, get allowance, go to school full-time, do chores around the house, and get my bills paid for. I do pay for my credit card bill, phone bill, and mods, but other than that, I'm free. As long as this doesn't define your life, your golden. My dad told me that if I don't go to school, it's back to paying my own bills. He wants to me study and have fun in college rather than work my ass off and only have 2 classes each semester. He told me that he missed out on some fun stuff in college because he had to pay for all his stuff and he doesn't want me to miss out. Fortunately, he has enough cash flow to support me

.

Biggeo · 01-26-2007, 05:51 PM

Hey, there is nothing wrong with what you guys are doing, as long as you're in school and appreciate the life you have.

I'm jealous just reading this, but then again averything I have is in my name...cars, house, moto, bank accounts, sex toys for the lady, credit cards, etc..I earned it, nothing given, a degree from Cal, and self respect.

But deep inside, I WISH I HAD it like you brats...lol...much easier life. Live it well...

Oh, and please learn how to spell school! Skool just sounds a bit cocky and illiterate in this type of post. Too cool for skool...lol...

Your Dad sounds cool as $h1t. I put myself through 2 degrees and it was a real PITA. 40 hours a week at my record store that I ran (vinyl only), 12 hours a week DJ'ing (contrary to belief it's still work), and 6 in the studio. Add a full gym schedule to that, studying, cooking, etc. I did this round the clock for 6 years straight and it took its' toll on me. I admire anyone who can do the same thing but won't dis anyone who has cool parents. As long as you aren't laying around like a bum and not trying to get ahead through college, vocational school, or trying to start your own business, don't sweat it.

PoLiShPrInCe · 01-26-2007, 06:25 PM

i am 24 living at home now and getting married in 5 months at which point i will be buying a house.... i pay for everything but i dont have to pay rent or food in my house which is actually the reason that i can save up enough for my wedding and downpayment on a house... my parents cant afford to help me with anything else but they would if they could

bhoy · 01-26-2007, 06:33 PM

thats typical filipino, the parents will let you have your freedom and support as long as you do well in school. their thinking is that education is the only thing they can give you which will be able to help you survive this crazy world and be able to live comfortably. a parents dream is to have their children have a better life than they did.

aki · 01-26-2007, 06:47 PM

I don't necessarily think it's a good thing, because it *can* spoil you and make you too reliant on your parents (not saying you're spoiled, just saying it can happen).

When I went back to UC Berkeley, parents paid for tuition, but I had to work to pay for everything else--rent, food, and eventually car payments. I worked almost 20 hours a week while attending classes fulltime. It's not that my parents couldn't afford to support me--I told them I'd support myself as much as I can. They had the money to buy me a BMW 3-series like a lot of the spoiled kids at school, but didn't. As soon as I was able to I took over payments on an 02 LX.

I'm grateful they raised me the way the did. They told me "once you get out of college you're out on your own, don't live with us." If I ever have kids I'll do the same. It has made me more financially responsible and self-sufficient. My two siblings are the same. In contrast, a family friend has two "kids" (31 and 33 yrs old) that still live at home, get their laundry done by parents.

Pampering your kid too much can cause them to be unable to use their own money properly. Not saying that's the case for you, just saying I don't necessarily think it's great or better that parents support their kids after 21. There's good--and there can be bad.
