I live in a high cost of living area and I was just telling my coworker, who lives in another state, that I know several people my age (mid-40s) who either still live with their parents or who live with several roommates of the same age, and I don’t blame them a bit because it’s fucking insane out there, dude, and only getting worse.

Moved in with the in laws to help them out as they are getting older, not for financial reasons. Took some adjustment aince it is kind of like being back in an apartment likenwhen we were first married but at least I know the ‘neighbors’.

Personally, I’ve always hated this notion of a nuclear family, and that there is some standard that people must go by, lest you be weird or lesser of a person. The more that times goes on, and the economy is the way it is, the more I feel justified in my thinking.

I lived with my folks into my late 20s. I only moved out because I went on a date with a girl, and never left. She never said anything, so I kept going back to her place. It just sort of happened. If I hadn’t met her, I don’t know when I’d have moved out of my parent’s house.

If your mother is okay with it, why the hell not? She probably enjoys the company. I currently live alone, except the weeks I have my kids, and while I do enjoy time to myself, I look forward to having my boys around. I’ve told my sons that no matter how old they are, or what happens in their life, they will always have a home with me. My youngest (9) states he is never moving out, and he’s not one to joke about that. 😅

I say, if it works for you and your family, do it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, and fuck off to anybody who says otherwise.

I’m almost 40. More than a decade ago I used to live on my own, then decided to move back with my mum. It was better for both - splitting expenses, keeping her company, splitting tasks, so goes on.

Yeah, I’m. For multiple reasons;

• In Arabian culture, one doesn’t leave until marriage.
• I’m still in university (almost finished tho).
• Parents have health problems therefore, I’ll stay longer to take care for them.
• House prices are insanely high (both renting and purchasing).

I’m living in Europe though but my dad is from a Arabian country and well, culture stayed with him. Anyway, I’d help a lot at home. Household things, helping with groceries, medication and such.

That said, I don’t care what anyone says about still living at home and not on my own. There will be always a chance to get an apartment but people often forget; parents won’t be here forever. One day they’ll pass away. Never forget that.

It just depends.

I moved back in with my mom for about 4 years while I went back to school. I moved out 2 months after I graduated, once I secured a job in my new field.

Yes. It’s Asian culture :)

I live with my sister and her husband. We have a decent size house with a yard that neither of us would be able to afford alone.

I live with my wife, she’s almost like family

I think it depends on circumstances. Some people are genuine neckbeard NEETs who need to stop being a drain on society. Some people are just jobsearching or in education and aren’t assholes to everyone they live with.

39 and live with my dad because I can only ever get jobs that pay minimum fucking wage and no matter how long I stay somewhere, I never get a raise. When he dies, I’ll end up working 60 hours a week to still be fucking homeless. This country is fucking shit.

Yes. Again. We are multigenerational household, 84,49,11. I work full time (I’m the middle) and I can invest in my kid, not rent.

Nope

From the content of this thread, I’m betting there’s a lot of selection bias going on. The ones who don’t scroll past. The ones who do post.

And I’ll follow that pattern. I still live with my mother. Never moved out. Live in the same house I was raised in. But my mother was never really financially stable. My grandmother with whom my mother and I lived… well, she managed to keep us housed and fed with credit card debt, which honestly worked out very well.

Anyway, I was kindof the only person who really made much of an income in my household and have been financially supporting my parents for decades now. (Though my grandmother passed on a few years back and left me a life insurance policy.)

I’m 37 now.

Yeah, I was going to move now that I have a steady job but now we just got the news that my dad’s condition is worsening, and, since it’s just my parents and me, I’m gonna stay to help. Thank goodness for remote work.
