I have a nice size home and a large second house in the mountains as I love too board. Looking at a 3rd this weekend but it will be the size of a closet by the ocean (a tiny closet, so small that the sink doubles as the shower)
As far as living with your parents. Good for you guys, nothing wrong with that, I had to move on my own at 16 with nothing but a foot in the rear out the door. I would of done anything to be able to stay at home or should I say have a home to stay in. My kids can live in our home forever if they like (I'll be out Sailing the world anyway at that point
)
