    I moved out at 23. It was incredible, salsa dancing 3 times a week, beers in town with friends, gymnastics 2 times a week. Then I got ill and returned home. I'm 30 now and during the time I've been home there have been all sorts of dramas and troubles. I wish I had gone back and rented a house and done away with any dependency on my parents as soon as I recovered. I am now converting a van, I am going to live in that for a while and see if I get back on track. If I start making proper money again, I will go traveling and see the world. I do not need a lot of things, or a house, the van will do, I just need my freedom and control over my own life.

It's not about them making rules for you, but you're literally feeding and taking care of them at a certain point. The fact that he expects me to look up to people as mature adults who ran off to the city to go have fun with friends on Friday night is silly. There are mature and immature people regardless of where they live.

      it's because asian culture is making children as an investment. It exists in majority of asian cultures. parents will provide their children quite well even when they are 20,25, but they expect something return back. this cycle is actually harmful for economy too, because it creates lazy people who have no ambition to start doing something their own early in their life. in West, children are encouraged to earn money since like 12 or 11. so when they are 18, a lot of them doing a job, and live on their own. doing a job, or a business generate wealth in the country that's one of the reasons why west is rich.

    Well, all these years living with them I saved money to buy a land and build my house. I lost my job due to recession in my country in a recent time so I'll stay with them for a while. My home is built, but without a job I'll have some trouble to keep my expenses. However as soon I get a job, I will marry and I will live in my house. Living with parents is not that easy but you have to make choices. Living by your own with limitations, lack of money, and debt seem not to be a great idea. I dont find it reasonable at all.
    I'd advise you to stay with your parents. But keep saving money, working, and studying. Don't think like you gonna stay with them forever. You need your own space. You need a place to sleep with your girl in privacy. You need your sacred place to jerk off in peace. So do not sleep. Save money to buy your house. Keep it up. Keep growing up.
    Good luck guys

When u find the right chick and wanna start a family then u can go get a place.. or just do whatever the f u wanna do 😂

    When I was a kid it was the norm to move out by 18. Then when I reached 18, my generation had zero choice except to stay at home. Even now, some of my friends stayed home into their 30s.

    i'm nearly 40 and still living with parents. i want to move but cant afford the housing within a 50mile radius of me because they're obscenely expensive, and my job is tied here. i asked if i can work remotely full time so i can leave my region and find a cheaper house up north but they said no. i wish i could quit my job to break free of being tied up here but i never been good at finding jobs and this is the best i got after years temping, and it doesnt even pay that well. so basically i am stuck and trapped here.
    i like to move because my parents are starting to get in the way and i want to get a pet dog but they wont have one in the house. another issue also is that if i am in a position to move, theres nowhere locally of interest for me to go. i am really bored here. i like to start a fresh life somewhere new. i like to move abroad. but i dont know how. for example - moving to america i either need an employer sponsoring me to move or marry a citizen. i've had some interviews but as usual get rejected. i tried online dating for a partner but women never respond. its hopeless.
    to give you an idea - i graduated from university in 2006. i applied for THOUSANDS of jobs these past 15 years. i been to a total of 200 job interviews in that time. during which, i received only 8 job offers - 7 of them were temporary jobs, and the 1 job i'm in now, is permanent. thats why i am apprehensive about quitting the job, because who knows when the next job will come, especially with the redundancies caused by covid? also, moving requires me to have worked already lined up. i cant move to a desired location because i will need a job lined up and getting a job in my reality is becoming more and more difficult each passing year that its frankly impossible. and the houses here locally are expensive not to mention rather shitty looking. i live in a region filled with grubby boring people. i want out of this place but i feel stuck and trapped.
    at my age (39) i also dont have any family of my own. i see my other friends all have houses and families of their own and some are younger than me and i look at their pics on fb and say oh my god, how do they do that, you know? its left me in a state of worry and panic that my midlife crisis is in full swing now. i feel i am mentally deteriorating. hopeless. angry. bitter. lost. my life is passing me by. i want to move but am stuck and trapped here. if i was rich i could break free and go anywhere but i'm not. i live a frugal existence saving as much as i can but with the pay i get, even after 10 years saving i still cant afford a home here, its that bad. and if i was lucky to scrape one, i'd be trapped in a mortgage and there are other expenses like bills furniture that after deductions i wont have any money left to enjoy life or go on holiday.
    i've grown to hate the word HOW because it always comes back to that, in my life. i feel resigned to my fate. i cant even fathom how i read people in their 20s being able to own their own house and still have enough for cars and holidays. to me thats as alien as living on planet mars.

    I'm 25 and living with my parents currently. In my early teens I was in NY so that I could finish high school because we'd move around so much living with my parents that it was really effecting my education (was staying with a sibling in NY).
    During my stay in NY I was extremely miserable. I barely spoke to anyone, and as a family oriented person I really missed everyone back at home. I made it to college and ran into some health issues that landed me back with my family. I realized that for the first time in a long time, I was actually feeling happy being around everyone. I soon got involved with some girl who wanted to throw in my face the fact that I lived with my parents using a derogatory undertone. I stopped talking to her, because I ain't gon let no bitch take away from my happiness due to some bullshit non-global societal standard, so after I clapped them cheeks I kept it pushing. When I got to my home city I was walking 44 minutes to work every day until I bought another car. I then started applying for other jobs and now I'm working at a hospital with benefits that will also help me continue my education so I can continue pursuing my independence while being with my family.
    I understand that some people want to feel free and leave the nest. Which by all means do so. Though, you have to establish yourself in some way economically for you to be able to carry your own weight with all the expenses we have in life. Once I land a good job with a solid income to buy my own place I'm looking forward to taking my parents with me. They'll be gone one day, and to me, the feeling of having them around is priceless.

    What is the big deal if you're still living with parents at 30 or beyond?? The only problem I see is if you're still acting like a baby or child, like not contributing to household expenses, or not doing your own laundy, etc...
    There are also several good reasons that someone in their late 20s and beyond to still be living with parents or family.
    For one thing, it can be mutually beneficial, you work and help cover the family home's household expenses. Your parent or parents my be struggling to cover household expenses like bills, food, etc.
    How are you less of a man if you live with parents or family? I have lived on my own and have lived with parents and other family. This whole idea that your're not man if you're still living at home is a load of shit, unless your still act like a baby where they buy your food or they do your laundry etc...
    If you're still living with your parents from your 20s beyond, make sure you:
    help cover household expenses, like bills and groceries
    Cook or help cook
    do your own laundry
    Do the chores or help around with the chores
    Basically do all the shit you'd normally be doing if you were living on your own.
    Don't be a drain, be an asset and not a liability.
    And respect that it's your parent's or family's house, but let them know that you're also an adult.
    For most young people the only option they have when moving out is to move into a share house. I mean what's the point of that? You live with a bunch of randoms, and just trust they're not going to murder you in your sleep or something like that. I guess it's okay if it's at uni or college and your share a dorm room, but not anywhere else.
    Anyways, just what some random guy on the internet thinks. Because it's like you're made to feel bad if you're living at home from your 20s and beyond. It's bullshit. If you're living out living on you're own or living in a share house, good on you, but don't be looking down on those that are living with their parents for good reasons.

      Im sorry but this is a pre-written rant and I agree with you, my brother is the kind that acts like a baby. Heres the rant if you’re interested:
      My brother is almost 40 (36) and still lives in the house. The thing is he does very very little, hes always negative and he mumbles (complaining softly) about how he has to turn on the lamp. Its also the main reason I dont have a room as a 15 (almost 16 since there is no other room) I genuinely do want privacy at times but I just cant have it. I have a study corner in the attic with a curtain being the only thing separating it from the rest (and my desk is the only thing that fits there) I sleep on a matress in my parents’ room and im sick of not being able to be left alone, Everytime im in the attic someone hangs clothes wich will continously be in my face while studying. My brother RIPS open the curtain everytime he goes down or upstairs from or to his room. Hes always making negative comments about people on TV and he even complains about my mom not doing good enough even though my mom does so much, I try to help her as much as I can but he doesnt even want to load out the dishwasher and just sits on the couch waiting for someone else to take action while my mom is doing it (he never willingly does chores, NEVER) hes lately been frustrating me he treats me the same as he did when I was 7 and he made comments about my grandpa wich really upset me. (I used to make breakfast for my grandpa daily and buy his groceries frequently and bring his dinner) my brother would always be mad that “I had to do so much” while he was never doing anything himself. He said he wished my grandpa were dead a few years back and a few weeks ago he passed and since then my frustration for my brother has been building up because the first thing I heard him say about my grandpas passing was: “Oh its so sad he passed away, Now I really have to move out” (I had a temporary room at my grandpas house) AS IF ITS OUR FAULT THAT HE NOW HAS TO MOVE OUT!! He treats me the same way as when I was 7 and he makes racist comments all the time and denies it when I point out that hes crossed the line with a few comments and he always says the N word. He gets upset when I don’t give him a kiss one time he asked for a kiss on the cheek and I jokingly said no. (also because I was genuinely tired of it) I said no to give him a kiss for a few minutes as a joke, eventually I was in the kitchen and he Stood up (moving his fricking chair) and STORMED AT ME (as if Id just told him I emptied his bank account or something) he then demanded me to give him a kiss so I did. He then followed up with “WAS THAT SO HARD TO DO?!” I stayed silent but in my mind I was like DUDE YOU’RE 36 YOU NEED TO TAKE NO AS AN ANSWER AND GROW THE HELL UP He also frequent hits my butt wich I say no to because it genuinely makes feel uncomfortable he always follows up with says yes as if I’m not there and just does it again later I’m sick of him living under this house basically providing noting but negative energy.

    I'm unemployable because I have 2 felony convictions. I have good credit (767) , work history and experience , I own my own 2015 car paid off , but nobody hires felons apparently. This is the harsh reality unfortunately. I currently live with my mother who's a bank teller , and as it is she can barely afford living expenses now (I pay for my own food and necessary items). This is the outcome of the stigmatization that the USA and its citizens place upon people with a criminal history , even the responsible ones. My felonies are 10 years old , I haven't been in any legal trouble since , and unfortunately the felonies are for stabbing someone in a bar bathroom in self defense against 5 people who tried to rob me. I served 5 years in prison and I've never had any psych problems or drug problems, but good luck explaining this during a job interview. My financial management success is largely due to my own discipline , and a lawsuit I settled by being injured as a passenger in a car collision if anyone is wondering. Now I'm down to my last , and no hope of employment.

    I am 34 and I still live with my parents and to be honest, it's one of the best desicions I made. We have a nice house, and I like them a lot. It's a great feeling, waking up, and chatting with my mum to a cup of coffee. I take walks with me dad and I love my cat. But, and that's a big thing, I am not a looser. I clean the house, I cook great food for everyone, I help my mum lifting big weights, etc. By not spending money on a house or rent, I can spend all of it on me. I have a small job to pay my beer, and all of my time goes in to my business and my education. I finished acting school, I read a book a day, I am a high class pianist and I have a lot of time for my bike. In many cultures its normal, to live that way, and for a reason. It's just the media telling you move out, get into a job you hate, so you can pay a woman and feel manly, get it depths and be a slave to the system. And my parents get older. They will need me more and more, and I can slowly adept into taking over everything. And all those girls who say I am not a man, well fuckem. Just by ignoring them and using the resources my family has built, I am way ahead of everyone I know.

About 2,300 hours of coding in the last 7 months and last month i got my first coding job! I simply decided that this time would be used to pivot my life, and i have been an avid saver all my life so i have been able to live off of my savings while living with my parents(not paying rent or food).

      My advice, go for it if you have the determination required to knock down the barrier to entry which is a couple thousand hours of study. Also, from day 1 begin incorporating Chat GPT and similar programs. Before we are replaced by AI, we will be expected to have AI like GPT in our tool belt. Over the next 10ish years I think the most in demand Devs will be those who best incorporate GPT into their work flow and dramatically increase their quality and volume of work

    The economy is not supporting this. Men's wages have not kept up with inflation, many jobs are gone, college has prepared men for the wrong work and high school doesn't prepare them for anything. People with this "man up" mentality are oblivious that there are also traditional cultures and families where it is considered bad to leave home before marriage. I agree it can be good to have the independent mindset, but some cultures are not geared toward individuality. Like the prodigal son in the Bible leaving home instead of staying with family, servicing their needs and acting as part of a whole is seen as bad behavior. I had no concept at 18 that I was a man, going away to college felt juvenile like packing for summer camp. People mature at different levels and not everyone has parents that encourage and promote maturity through adolescence. The only thing my parents cared about when I was a teenager was that I did well in school. They were blinded to any other factor playing into adulthood.

    I'm 27 and still live with my mother because I am autistic, struggle finding and holding down work, struggle with change, and also have anxiety and depression on top of all this, so I guess all these combined impair my ability to work. I have applied for countless jobs over the years, even when I've had interviews not a single one of them has gone any further. I still live with my mother but I do consider myself independent, I do my own laundry, cooking, shopping, that kinda thing, I'm on benefits due to my health conditions so do have money coming in every two weeks, and I do have some goals for the future but there's no telling if they'll even work out for me if I do get there eventually, but I really don't want people to judge me because some people do say that I have a valid reason, due to disabilities and mental health conditions, so imo I think people should understand if and why I'm not ready to move out. I take pride in the fact I'm not a scrounger or a bum, I'm not lazy, and I don't mooch off my mother because I'm not that kinda person. I just want people to accept and respect me for who I am and what decisions I make. It's never easy but for some people, especially aspies like me, it can be the hardest thing in the world, and moving to a brand new environment can cause major relapses and meltdowns and mental breakdowns and probably other things too. I don't think this should be hard for people to understand. But if they don't, they're not worth it. Right?
