I have been an adults more than 8 years. Now I will graduate from school, and work for my own life.
In my postgraduate study, I have scholarships, so that there is no need for me to ask my parents for money, I have enough money to support myself.
But now I have to find a job, and have to rent a house. But I do not have enough money in hand. I know I have to solve the problem by my own, but what I can think out is ask my parents to give me some help or live with my parents until I have enough money to rent a house by myself.
It is quite shame to do that as an adult, I think. But how can I solve the problem?

So you are already an adult for 8 years, you had a scolar ship and you never thought in all these 8 years about how to handle if you finished your study? You never saved 1 cent during all these years? You never had a job for some hours next to it to have some extra or save a bit? I think something seriously went wrong with the education you had.
I think you better start finding a job, which is normal for students over here, actually 13 year old kids already start with a small job next to school. I doubt someone without any social life, work experiences, no picture about his future, is such a great employee.
I guess you have no other options as knocking on your parents door again. I doubt if you will ever have enough money for your own house, so probably they will be stucked with you and have to take care of you for the rest of their lives? You did not care much about your future in the past 8 years so I doubt you will start doing that now. Sounds to me you will stay forever with them and they can serve you day and night.

I have save some money for the time. I try to take some part-time job in the spare time.
To act in a good form, I have spend money to buy clothes for the interview and spend money to get some certificate for a good job.
But now the rent goes up very quickly, and if I want to rent a house, I have to pay a half year's rent at the first month. It is more than $2000. The money is very great to many person, and I soon find that I can not use my saving to meet that amount.
I do not want to ask my parents for money, but in my case, I can not lend money from the bank.

I think you do not need to be embarrased by their own parents, no matter if it is not enough money and still live with their parents. Instead you can find work and I can while always keeping the parents because you can close them.
they certainly will not mind, whatever makes her happy parents must always pray and support the child. So keep the spirit.

I think it's not a bad thing that you'll ask for your parent's help regarding this matter. after all they are your parents and I'm sure they'll be happy to help you out as well. If I'm not mistaken, this is just temporary right? You'll be moving as soon as you already have a job and your own money to start with.

I think there's nothing wrong asking help from your parent even you have been graduated in a postgraduate course as long as you are still single.
I am sure that they will not have a second thought to help you live with them. When you have a job already and starting to get paid, you can then to go on and live with yourself.
If you are hesitant to ask help from your parent in supporting you, you can tell them that you are going to share the expenses in your house once you have already your job.

After I graduated, I had to move back in with my parents. I paid them rent, much less than if I had my own apartment, which allowed me to save up, but still allowed me to feel like I was contributing.
They also bailed me out when I was married. I got let go due to smaller class sizes and being the newest hire in a school district. I found another job, but it paid less than half of what I had been making.
It came down to paying the electric or paying for the sitter so I could go to work so I could have insurance for the family.
My parents paid for my sitter for a month. It was not much, but it was enough that we just barely kept our heads above water.

Hi Dandan, I appreciate you for lead your life by yourself without asking money from your parent. This thing shows your wonderful habits. This also proud to your parents also. This makes your parent to have more attraction from you. It is not so tough to get job for you also since you already managed to pay for your studies. I think your hesitation is only because you didn't ask help from your parents previously. You habits already would make your parent to help for you anytime. Only problem is to start ask help from your parent. You don't worry to ask economic help from them. Because they may readily waiting for your kind approach for your problem. What you do ids that you just ask your family members..
