This is a judgment-free zone, no poor shaming pls.
I’m 32 and live with my mother again. I lived in other places for about 10 years. Got a remote job, wanted to move closer to family and friends, and failed to find a proper apartment for an affordable price. Luckily I have the privilege of my parents possessing a fairly big house, so we moved in and live rent free.
In many (most?) non-Western cultures people live with their parents until they get married and move out. Just saying, it’s not a thing to “judge” a person for regardless.
This is a mainly American thing I believe
Considering OP has a Taiwanese flag in his username as well as a Japansese anime character name (with the kanji as well as the romaji, and a Chinese name (the hanzi as well as the pinyin), I’m guessing OP is at least moderately aware of non-Western cultures practices on the topic and I don’t immediately suspect OP is judging people for their answers either way.
Didn’t say OP was, just that it doesn’t even fit the framework for “judgement”, it’s not a moral failing or developmental hangup, that’s all. 🤷👍
I’m in my late 20’s and while I have a good job and enough cash on hand that I could make a down payment and move out, I’m not sure that I want to… As a US-ian The economy is in pretty rough shape and I’m not sure I want to be tied up in a mortgage when the bubbles start popping. Plus, if I were to uproot myself and move away from my family and friends, I’d almost rather full send it and emigrate to somewhere walkable, where the wrong medical diagnosis isn’t a financial death sentence.
30 here and live with my parents. I never had a chance to move out on my own since the job I worked for a very long time only paid $27k before taxes. I recently got a new job that pays $50k before taxes, but need to work on my insane levels of anxiety that comes with the thought of doing something that might let someone else down or cause someone I care about to have to do more work (I help out A LOT at home to the point my parents tell me to calm down sometimes).
Unfortunately I do. No way I can make enough money to live alone during college. Hell, I am extremely slow at everything, I feel like I need at least 30 hours a day and 10 days a week to do what I need to.
Same.
Me, 20 years old. But I do plan to get a job and save some money to be able to live by myself be independent and move out.
26 here
Moved out as soon as I was 18. Kinda wish I hadn’t have, little bro is still living there at ~35 and has it pretty nice.
35 still living with my mom. After university I lived abroad for some time but then get into serious crisis of meaning and was like a living zombie for 2-3 years. Then found a nonprofit organization for which I needed some serious work and time to put it on the ground (similar to starting a business, but with a different goal). Now it pays off, but I am into very serious saving for big thing for future, so rather stay here still. I also love my mom so I enjoy the family life.
I lived with family until I was 29. Around that time, I got a new position at work that roughly doubled my salary, so after saving for a few months, I was able to move out and get an apartment.
I’m 26, still live with my parents.
Well, I either get a house or I start a family. Houses already covered so I’m looking to get a family working
I live with my mom and brother. If I could live on my own I would, but this is better than the alternative for any of us.
Mostly I wish that we all had our own bedrooms, that I could do anything without either of them noticing, especially leave (I have perception anxiety and I don’t like being questioned about what I’m doing if I do something unusual.)
I’m fucking 40 and still live with my dad.
At 40 your dad is probably relying on you for many basic life needs. You’re no longer living with your dad. He’s living with you.
He’s in better health than I am 😮💨
Is he cool?
I lived with my mother until I was 25, and only stopped at the time because she passed away.
