This is an thread for cellar dwellers to unite under one collective cellar. Moved back in w my parents after staying w my girl again and I just realize I haven't left the basement but for food and brief walks or conversation.
How many others are there? What you doin in your cellar (dont say cooking meth like Micro and get the fbi on yer ass)

Actually no, stay with your parents and bank some cash. The world is no longer a get out at 18 because you have a good job world. It's become a get get 3 job and build your own business cause otherwise you're fucked world.
If I had a kid, I'd tolerate his presence just because I would want to help him get ahead.

reluctantly, painstakingly, i have to agree with this. however, allowing one's child to stay rent/utilities free is counter-productive for all parties involved, imo

If I could afford my bills no problem, I wouldn't mind. Although, he's shoveling the driveway and doing the dishes. If I see that my electric bill goes through thee roof, I'll negotiate. I put a lot of value on the "you do everything around the house" clause. Now if he's just freeloading without a job, that's another story.

i was raised without REALLY being required to do many chores. i now see how stupid that was of my mom. considering she worked two jobs most of my life, the house was rarely exceptionally clean.
while doing chores/helping out around the house does make a difference, if they were over 18, they would HAVE to be working, and paying a small, fair portion of rent/utilities. just how i feel. hopefully, i'll never have children and this will be a non-issue in my life

Parents could easily make their kids pay half what apartment rent would be and cover well more than the utilities they use. I'm basically an extra source of income for my parents (since I buy my own food and own phone n shit) and I'm still paying 1/6th the average rent around here.
Though I am realistically considering living in my tent when it gets warm enough. Not on their property

Don't sweat it modestmouse, it's not abnormal for you to be doing what you're doing so, check out the data on people between 18-35 still living around their parents. People get a negative image of adults living around their family, but the majority of the time there are some legit reasons why people are still around their parents, as long as you're not being a lazy bum, and helping out with keeping things clean and tidy, and I don't mean just working on your things, but actually helping out you know cleaning up messes which you didn't create, then you're OK.
One sign of an adult mind is when you see a mess you didn't create, but you clean it up anyway because it's the right thing to do. Also, moving out is a major change, so just make sure you use your time around your family to plan the next step of your life carefully, and since they are your family, they should be supportive of whatever decision you choose to make.
My whole family has ping-ponged off each other from time to time, meaning one person might be doing well and the other not so much, so the person which isn't doing well might stay with the person who is until they get their footing and can move forward on their own, that's what family is for.

in many cultures it's abnormal for kids/adults to move out until they are married/starting a family

Ok now im calling you out. You rated me 0 and said

Is in a pissy spot in life so is therefore going around squishing the hopes and dreams of little boys and girls. Popping their birthday balloons and eating all their cake. get better at being a person
So what did I do to invite this wrath and butthurt im suddenly seeing from you? Seriously, id like to know where this is coming from because I respect you and am seeing a lot of hate out of you. Many in this community who pay attention know that im in a rough spot but appreciate the lighthearted and playful nature that I typically bring to the table. Did I hurt your feelings or some shit?
*id pm you but my system is locked down so we're going public with this

Well, not a cellar, but, I live in my late uncles house which is a sitting room and two bedrooms, it's my uncles house and he's agreed to let me move in. I pay £100 a month for everything (rent, 'lectric, fuel (that's wood and coal and anything else I can scrounge up) internet and sort out my own food.
Plus I've got use of my uncles turntable and record collection. I'm not that into prog rock but I found some simon and garfunkle albums as well as crimson king. He had good taste.
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-to-rent/Chipping-Norton.html
That's the asking rate here. Expensive stuff. I am very, very lucky.
It means I can save up, go abroad for holidays and have nice things, that is, when I don't have to worry about the car.

Your uncle sounds rad 
Collecting vinyl especially prog rock is great 
You should check more out while you can, it is an acquired taste but once you get into it other music is very lackluster IMO. Also you can find a ton of high quality vinyl rips online which sound great and are convenient.

Not minding that time's passing by I've got all and more, My smile, just as before. Is all that I carry with me I talk to myself, I need nobody else. I'm lost and I'm mine, yes I'm free

Yeah I know you been in a bad way, you also been being a whine ass lately too. buck up buttercup the world is harsh, get thick skin, and fucking do it. whatever "it" is.
you did argue that smoking cigarettes was feminine, I think not.
The talk of children and cakes and balloons is an allegorical tale of fantasy based upon reality just like alice in sunderland
last nights dosing really made me clear things up in my head this morning, and make things much more cut and dry, I just can't stand people bitching about shit sometimes. I'm sorry but I live in a pretty shitty situation financially, but I get by with a wife and 2 kids off a single income and still pay my bills for us all. You just gotta smarten up and stop people from whiping your ass for you, you can and should do.
and I just like saying jesus titty fucking christ, makes a nice mental image.

Theres validity in what you said but rather than do it in a productive manor at a relevant time you come out of the woodwork like a dick. Just uncalled for.
Im working on myself fwiw but you dont know me personally so dont act like you do.
