      I think there is still a pretty deep line in the sand with regards to living with parents into the 20's vs raising your kids in your parents house.

      I'd imagine that the situation applies.... (child pregnancy, child out of wedlock etc)

      Ohhh so not true. Three of my wife's siblings have all lived at her parents home with married partner and kids... sure, child pregnancy, but they were adults in their late 20's (29/31) yet still living with the parents.

          Probably, if you look for a rental 2-3 hours north of us generally it is much less expensive. 1-2 bedroom apartments around us regularly go for 800-1000$.

                I couldn't even thing about living with my parents now at 28. I moved out when I was 19 and haven't looked back since.

                I dislike the area they live in very much and my parents are very religious (judgmental).

                    Right, we have are extremely rural here. The county seat has ~5000-6000 people.

                      Ah, yeah you're about 4 hours away.

                      $800 - $1000 isn't horrible for an entire apartment, on a lease or not?

                        You can generally get a mortgage around here for $600/month for a house twice or three times the size. That includes utilities and tax.

                          I didn't say you couldn't buy a house for less, but that I kind of agree that $800 - $1000 a month isn't horrible for an apartment.

                                Except you need either a local job, or a global job that has you seated in that country for some time.
                                But that's damn cheap.

                                  Scott could probably buy that place in a month months with his normal salary range, or less.

                                      They use the zero clearance AC here or whatever it is called. So you can add it easily. You would not need AC in Molina Norte, though, rarely tops 70 at night. Almost always in the mid to high sixties at night, seventies during the day, year round.
