He's a sergeant which demands a lot of responsibility, and pays enough, yet he can't get his own apartment?

Holy Sh*t, I just looked up the salary as well, I had no idea they made that much. Living with Frank and Marie I could understand due to his low self-esteem and psychological need for Marie's attention and affection, but I never understood the episode where he is living on bologna and needs to borrow money from Ray to pay his bills, especially when I looked up the salary of a newspaper columnist..

Robert may be poor managing money. Indulges himself too much and makes loans to friends who have no intention of repaying Robert. Maybe Robert spends a couple of hundred on scratch offs per week down at the news stand?

I think it's his parents who want him there. Remember when he does move out to a garage apartment with two older people just like his parents? His parents are mad at Ray for talking him into leaving. Marie needs someone to take care of, Frank wants someone to keep Marie busy and to leave him alone. Eventually he does move out.

But he along with Amy move right back in. Both are working and Marie and Frank should have repaid the money Robert paid for the house but no M & F just barge right back in and take over. It's a comedy, I know

But this is contracted in season 4.
When Frank and Marie talk about their sex life. They mention the kids are what dragged them down. Then they smile and laugh at how the celebrated when Robert moved into his apartment.
Then when Peter gets kicked out of his parents' house. Everyone sits around and talks about how weird it is when a 40-year-old man is still living at home. And Frank mentions pushing the kids out of the nest when they're young, otherwise you have a 40-year-old bird who can't lift his ass out of the nest.
If you're gonna pretend to cut her hair, at least put some scissors in your hand!

It's not that he COULDN'T. He did move out in Season 3 to the apartment complex.
Robert explains himself a bit in the episode where Peter's parents kicked him out. He says that he didn't want to be there during those years but had lost the will to escape, pretty much because of how Marie did everything for him (cooking, laundry, dishes).
