She lives off her parents.
부모님한테 얹혀 살아요.

May: So， you're saying Kevin has a crush on this girl in his office.
John: Ah uh. He's dying to go out with her.
May: I thought he wasn't emotionally ready for another date yet.
John: I thought so too， but apparently， he seems like he's gotten over it.
May: I guess that's good for him. Does she seem to be interested in him also?
John: Well， she's fairly new so I don't know about her very well. One thing for sure is that unlike Janis， she seems to be a very independent girl.
May: What are you talking about? Janis was an independent enough girl.
John: Not to my standard. Listen， if any girl spends twice as much as she actually earns with her credit cards and expects her parents
to pay for them， she's not independent. A 26-year-old girl doesn't live off her parents like that. I mean...
May: I'm sorry， John， but you might remember that you had to live off your parents for a good 8 months before you went to graduate school.
John: And tell me about it. It was the longest 8 months of my entire life! |
