And I worry that my credit is so ruined that I couldn't buy a house. My credit is very bad due to divorce.
I think there is a strong tendency for kids to live at home for a long time in these younger generations...totally normal...just not what we did. I can totally understand it though because they just can't get great jobs and why waste that on rent when you can get cool stuff. What about dating...is he bringing girls home...that is often the impetus kids need to get their own place, that or not liking the rules. Personally I'd let him live there, an empty nest is a boring one.
