teenages living under parents even after graduating
-
there seems to be increasing no. of young people who still continues to take money from their parents eventhough they have graduated from university or national service,with no intention of finding a job.
from my observations, many youths refuses to find a job and often use excuses like job too tiring, salary too low, long working hours, workplace too far, not interested in doing a job related to their studies etc.
another reason is because many of them grew up with a golden spoon in their mouth. parents dotes on them too much and gave them whatever they want, thus they often took things for granted and have this mentality "why should i work when my parents can still support me?"
this unhealthy mindset makes them believe that as long as their parents continues to give them money, they don't see the need to find a job and will usually just waste their time away playing games at home, unwilling to walk out of their little comfort zone.

Pple who grad from uni no longer teenagers. This especially applies to males.

What needs to be explained when u see them at the age of 24 still hanging out late at night "tonning" and those even at 23 continue to revolve arnd their gf's and accompanying them the whole day

yes local kids. in fact this trend can also be seen in taiwan, as reported today in the straits time and mypaper. this really got me into thinking about our generation of youths today.Originally posted by will4:U mean local kids?

i agree with your point, parents are to be blamed too if they dotes too much on their children, which is the primary reason why youths today behave this way. many are just wasting away their youth playing games all day at home. -
I also believed this could be one of the reasons the govt is trying to get more foreign professional to enter here to work given the some forigners moreOriginally posted by Gordonator:yes local kids. in fact this trend can also be seen in taiwan, as reported today in the straits time and mypaper. this really got me into thinking about our generation of youths today.

serious in their working attitude.

You can be working and still chill out at HV at night.

Very true. I believe this is largely attributed to parents wishing their kids to stay by their side longer as well.

But seriously, how many newly graduated youth can afford housing on their own in Singapore? Even renting is not that affordable.

don't even mention afford housing or living outside, how can one do all this if one doesn't even wants to find a job.Originally posted by ^spidee^:But seriously, how many newly graduated youth can afford housing on their own in Singapore? Even renting is not that affordable. -
not true. from what i see, many parents wants their children to find a work, but their childrens don't want. so the parents became soft hearted and continue giving them money.Originally posted by ^spidee^:Very true.

secondly, having a job doesn't means one cannot stay by their parents. that's nothing wrong with living with your parents. -
Singles need to be 35 before they can buy a small HDB resale flat or something like that right?

Well, I said "largely attributed as well", not "entirely".Originally posted by Gordonator:not true. from what i see, many parents wants their children to find a work, but their childrens don't want. so the parents became soft hearted and continue giving them money.

I see no wrong in those who finish their NS, go on to further their studies, and continue to live off their parents. The thing is, as students, they should concentrate on their studies, rather than worry about money. I see my classmates every day come 2 school so shack, coz they have been working till the wee hours the day before, or stepping into class late and missing impt lessons because they need 2 work in the morning.
I don't think its wrong either for those who only started working 2 depend on their parents for money. They are just starting 2 work, how much money do they have? but if aftet the 1st year of work they still like that, then its wrong. -
yes i agree, there's no wrong in your sentences above. but the discussion here is about after graduating " (from university, or simply NS for those with no intention of further studies)Originally posted by nanren4ever:I see no wrong in those who finish their NS, go on to further their studies, and continue to live off their parents.

are u implying that after 1 year, one will get a sudden high raise in salary? i'm sorry but i highly doubt that.Originally posted by nanren4ever:I don't think its wrong either for those who only started working 2 depend on their parents for money.

by having a job, no matter how much the salary is, one is definitely able to survive on his own, with no help from parents. unless u are saying the parents is giving their children more than what their children earns. -

ANd you need to work continuously for at least 2 years to save up your CPF, before HDB even allows you to apply for one. If I don't live with my folks, where do I live?Originally posted by charlize:Singles need to be 35 before they can buy a small HDB resale flat or something like that right? -
i think people are confused, and they think you are talking about graduates who continue to live with their folks, as opposed to moving out, which is highly impossible unless Daddy has left me a fortune to spend on my own bachelor pad.Originally posted by Gordonator:are u implying that after 1 year, one will get a sudden high raise in salary? i'm sorry but i highly doubt that.

If my starting salary is like 8k per month right after graduating, I can safely say "adios momma!!!".
