This was true in the past. A lot has changed since then. Wages have not kept up with the cost of living.

In the city of Portland, many new town homes have small rental units on the ground floor. https://www.trulia.com/p/or/portland/3005-se-18th-ave-portland-or-97202--1114600346?mid=25#lil-mediaTab  Photo #26

What has changed is that young men are not willing to rough it. They want to drive new cars and live in nice apartments or condos.

Everyone in my generation that I knew that went out on their own drove an old clunker that they paid for themselves in high school and lived in a studio apartment or crammed into a one/two bedroom with a bunch of their friends. They learned independence and responsibility, to put off instant gratification and employ discipline by working hard and saving up your money to achieve a better life. It took me almost 8 years working full time supporting myself since I was 18 years old and going to school. But I appreciated it more and felt I was more serious and disciplined and didn't waste my time with a bull shit degree like Woman's Studies or Sociology as I counted on getting a good job after I graduated as I didn't have the option of just moving back in with my parents and coast for another few years. And let me tell you, UCLA is right in the middle of Westwood and that's a party town. Every weekend was like Carnival. They would have to close down the streets from traffic as there would be so many people out and about. A lot and constant temptations to just let loose and have fun. But I was bankrolled by my parents so it was always just work and school.

I've lived in Westwood. You don't need to tell me about UCLA and partying.   The streets were also closed in the village when there was a high profile premier at the Westwood theater....(Fox Theater located at 961 Broxton Avenue, Westwood, Los Angeles, California).

You can go on and on about the 'good old days' when boys were men and all that bullshit. Times have changed whether you like it or not.

I am glad I was raised by an old school father and had a taste of the old times as a kid - those days are long gone

Aussies don't say the word "jerk". Only Americans.

It wasn't a case of "needing" to tell you about Westwood. Where the hell did that come from?

And of course things have changed. That was my point. It's not about affordability as you claim. It expectations and character that has changed.

Pretty touchy and defensive today, eh, Pop-pop?

Yeah, like complete idiotism.

i dont think you can name one thing ive been wrong about, regardless of subject ! not one thing in all my posts !

[ratherbebig]

how about building a company not living in parents basement?

that seem to have worked for far many more people, so why would that not be prefered?

Because men live with their parents longer, like you do, you conclude that I didn;t grow up in Hawaii.

You really are clueless as to what an idiot you are.

I would invite you to come to Hawaii and meet these beta males but I know you don't travel. You can't afford to and you can't leave your room. Your life is google and GetBig.

How about saying that you take it that I wasn't born and raised in Hawaii? That I'm homeless when I've posted pictures throughout the decades of my lifestyle. That you're not fat.

You are too sensitive, and negative in general. It is just a figure of speech meaning he is familiar with the Westwood scene. He even put a smile after it. 

[keanu]

Why does everyone talk shit about living in your parents basement FYI I lived in my parents basement for many years and worked my ass off rent free and guess what. I am now a multimillionaire with numerous business and a nice big house and vacation home with a beautiful family. So just a word of wisdom for all of you haters out there, slow and steady wins the race ! and for all of you guys still living at home, don't sweat it work hard and hope for the best, you can do it !!

I agree completely. I would be retired right now if I stayed at home until age 40 with enough money to buy a nice home and never work again.

Oh, I missed the smile part. A lot is lost in the written word that can be translated by inflection, tone, and expression. Prime and I have had some heated exchanges but he's OK in my book.

Sorry Prime, I took your comment wrong.

[pellius]

He claims Christianity, yet attacks the homeless. He even makes homosexual remarks. Now we would expect this level of trolling and attention seeking from a teenager. But this guy is a senior citizen.

You don't think Christians fight? What a colossal retard! I'll pose the same question to you that I posed to Valentino, who is too much of a coward to answer.

What if a bum stood right on front of your mother, daughter, sister, niece...with his cock out just staring at them?

And the Bible says a lot worse about gays than I ever had you incredibly ignorant fuck.

[pellius]

Blah, blah, blah....get a life

Epic come back.

I just love exposing and dismantling anonymous, cowardly, pussies like you.

Maybe next time you'll think twice before you decide to pick a fight with me. I hope you learned something from this beating. Christians fight. America is a Christian country and we are the best fighters in the world.

Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before.

Yeah buddy!
