Is it is good to be financially independent from family after graduation ?

I'm kind of in the same boat as you, except I started college over again, so graduation just jumped back another three years. You're better off than me if you're almost there. The way I see it, I'd love to be completely financially independent directly after graduation, or before, but I just got to take it one day at a time and do what I can today. You should certainly be looking for a more stable job that will meet your needs, but I don't think your Dad is going to look down on you if you're having trouble finding one. He signed up to take care of you for a period of time, and the cut-off age was not 18. I wouldn't set an age for when you definitely need to be totally on your own, everyone moves at their own pace, though I do think that 25 would be pushing it.

I think that after graduation, someone should be as independent from their parents as possible, whether that means getting another job or something. I know it's stressful, but you should rely on your parents as little as possible.

Welcome to Mylot, firstly there is absolutely nothing to be ashamed about and secondly there is no age limit where parents can't help out and look after their children. There is no rule book saying that by a certain age you have to be self-supportive. Don't forget it's not always about financial benefits, I am sure your parents get your unconditional love as well as other things, they are proud of you for your graduating, so they want to show it, they are well meant parents meaning they won't expect you to be financially better off straight away! Don't forget one day the shoe will be on the other foot and your parents may need help from you when you are well off which of course you will be one day, and I am sure you would help them out financially equally with no question! That's what families should do for each other.

It is good to be financially independent of course,but when the going gets rough, where do you run for help? Of course, it's your parents who should be there to help you. Life is not always good. There are times when we run out of money so we need support from those close to us. However, we need to do everything in order to achieve financial freedom as soon as possible.

Hi you are on the right mind frame . But as right now there not that many Jobs right now. I know college grad. who working fast food I might have something that might Help you email here and I give you the link It zero cost to do. OK have good day.

yes, i think you should start earning for yourself after graduation. your parents obligation to you, which is to send you to school, is over. so instead of still depending on them financially, i think it's your time to earn and if you can, you can support them financially in gratitude of what they have given you.

Yes, you should doing that, become financially independent. More than that, at some point down the road, you should think about supporting your parents financially. They have taken care of you for so many years, so now your turn is coming.

I am still with my parent after my graduation. Now, I have a current work as kitchen crew. It is up to you if you want to be an independent. You can just live with your parents. Your parents will support you if you have no work.

Yes of course! So that you can help your family save money and at the same time, you'll be less burden for them. :)

It would be great if all kids would become independent after school.. but its harder these days for that to happen. Here in Mexico many kids live at home till almost 30 because they cant make it out on their own.

I think you should not frustrate yourself. Just think for possible ways so you could earn a lot more money that you are desiring. Being an independent person in terms of financial aspects is worth it and is a big help already with your parents. Just feel privilege that you are not a burden anymore with your parents and at least you are now earning on your own.

Yes you should. It is your responsibility to yourself and not to anyone else. I am sure that your father really not to expect your "payment" in return. That's a sweet gesture of buying something for your dad, but it could not be too expensive. I am sure he wouldn't mind if you will buy him cheap gift, it's the thought that counts. Someday you will be successful, with your thoughts and aspiration right now I am sure you will be able to go way ahead in your career and life. So if you have money to buy something even if cheap don't hesitate specially during special occassions like birthdays or christmas if you are celebrating one. Or even an ordinary day will do. Much surprised then if it is just an ordinary do. You can share what ever you have at the moment and be lavish when you already have enough. Don't be ashamed too if your parents still support you at your age, 21? As long as you will make sure that it will not be forever. You are a good son, I can sense that that's why your parents are so willing to give you anything as long as they can. Be thankful for having such wonderful parents, too.

I think no sons or daughters would want to be a financial burden to their parents. But since the times are difficult with all the economic recession going on, finding a job that gives good payment is quite difficult. The only thing that keeps me from giving up is the thought of being able to give a good life to my parents.

Yes, in the end you are to inherit the earth and it is better if you will act soon for because your parents are still there to guide in every step of the way..

Of course it's better, but if your parents want to help you, it's natural. You shouldn't be ashamed... at 30, it's risky. But you're young. You still have time to liberate yourself.
