My parents would be happy to have me, too, but I'd go insane. The "suite" option is probably better for the sanity than my "living in the room you grew up in" option would be.

Anywho, glad that you have history for later. Actually, my original thought was a trip for your parents but that wasn't very PF! I love to travel so that is always my initial reaction! :) Sorry, I understood you were covered but I was equating it to like when you’re 16 and had to be on your parents’ insurance.

When (If) I set up my own personal policy, I will have had a solid history of insurance since I got a license. Just like if a couple share a policy. They're both insured. I've thought about saving money for them, maybe like for a trip or something? They're very financially set, so it's not likely to be a big thing to them, but maybe the thought would count. :) Thanks for the encouragement that way.

Or use it to pay for something for the upkeep of your home e.g. new windows, outdoor lighting, new garage door opener etc. Does not having your own insurance hurt you in anyway? Would it make your premiums higher since you have no history of your own? Kind of like having no credit?

There is no shame if you're still living at home, it's free! :) I moved out at 19 but not because I ‘had” to but because I wanted to. There is no shame if you’re still living at home, it’s free! :)
