Takes one to spot one...
Nowadays it's really damn hard to get in the housing market, fair work is extremely rare and if you can find somewhere that will rent you a place odds are it'll be absurdly expensive for something the size of a public bathroom stall.
A LOT of people here in Portugal still live with their family as the only alternative is living under a bridge or being a different kind of leech and mooching money off unemployment checks from the state.
And the housing situation has gotten so bad people are actually renting half-houses. All of my residents live in houses divided by two or four.
It’s a no-win either way: do too much for their benefit and create a level of dependence and enabling. Throw him out to the wolves and be marked as callous, indifferent SoBs.
This type of thing happens all the time at my workplace: late-teen kids walk in, escorted by their parents. (And yes, escort.) The parents asking for an application. The parents sitting down and telling the kids what to put down. A few times, it’s the parents who call the workplace to check their kids’ schedules. 16-17 yo near-adults and they can’t figure out a job application or a schedule on their own. So I think the blame can be spread all around. It can’t be all “the bum vs. the parents”.
And *those* kids have no intrinsic motivations to learn, to stay on the job anyways. It's not like they have bills to pay like rent or groceries. All they have to do is malinger for the whole shift until their parents come to pick them up. Or foul up enough so they get sent home early. Same desirable outcome for them.
The exception, of course, being those that have extreme disabilites or other legitimate circumstances to justify needing to do so.
The place I live in is one of my father’s rental properties. I’m on Disability but I also pay rent and maintain the property as best I can. I never play the “I’m your kid” card when things get rough. I am also bound by the iron-clad rules as a tenant, not as the landlord’s son. Yeah, so if the lawn’s not mowed or if the rent’s late this month, I got Damocles’ sword hovering over my head.
So this guy, and others like him, greatly irk me.
For a lot of people, living with their parents is the only choice available. They might have records, which is a red-flag in a background check. Might not good enough credit because of debts like CC or student loans. Might not even have a job with a decent wage to cover rent, much less everything else like utilities and food. Most are not even long-term planners when it comes to personal finances. (Anyone here knows of that one guy who spends $300 on a car stereo for their car which they are five payments behind on?)
And an actual place of their own, as in an actual home? Forget it. It’s not like it was a generation ago, where there is a local factory or warehouse where you can start in and work your way up to management in 20+ years. Back when there was a higher degree of job security. Save up enough for that affordable mortgage in a duplex or row house back when the neighborhood was still decent.
Plus I blame the parents also.
What year were you 21 in? What was the situation on the market and in society then?
Also, I doubt many care about being respected by you. I mean, I doubt you care much about whether or not I respect you, either...
