published: 20-Something Reasons to Live At Home
My latest article is up at Boundless.org (with a much cooler title than I originally gave it–good job, Boundless). Check out 20-Something Reasons to Live At Home here.
I am 25 and I still live with my parents, and this is not an accident or a regret. I love living here, and I think more young adults should seriously consider foregoing “independence” for things of much greater importance.
I’m impressed by the number of people who’ve already emailed me (or left blog comments … thanks, Mark!) to express their appreciation for the article and the counter-cultural ideas therein. Apparently I’m not the only one who’s noticed that our culture’s ways of doing things can be empty and counterproductive.
Rachel,
Great article. I too live at home with my large family for the same reasons. Additionally I find the family environment provides much more accountability in the areas of personal habits, orderliness, internet usage, & balance in life than I would ever get by living with other single Christian guys or on my own.
Wonderful article! Well thought out and well-written as usual!
I appreciated your article! It was thought provoking and full of uncommon sense. :) I hope to forward it on to others.
Keep up the great work!
