My parents were of the kind who believed that children should be out of the house by 18 but a decade later with current economic situation, they've agreed that I can move in. Unfortunately there are no tech jobs where they live and my partner doesn't like the town so that's a challenge. My life is a constant struggle against 'the culture' aka 'the brainwash'. I would live in a tent on some island if it was purely up to me. My wife had highly expectations, especially when we met so the fact that she is willing to live with me in poverty today is already stretching my persuasive capabilities. Convincing her to live in a tent is outside of my capabilities as she hates camping.
