    the situation becomes even more shitty when you have abusive parents - a lot of young people have to choose between destroying their mental health just to barely survive or to relitigate childhood trauma and continue to endure abuse in an unsafe space. i'm 25 and virtually EVERYONE i know is struggling to either get a job, to find housing, or to navigate a severe mental health crisis. in america where there are almost no third spaces, walkability, or public transit outside of hcol areas, being trapped at home and separated from other young adults is demoralizing at best and tortuous at worst when you have a toxic family. these collective global experiences will affect our generational outcomes years from now.

      Irish people will shag anywhere. I’ve had friends here in the states from such a wide background of backgrounds if you will who have done the ancestry or the 23 and me My friends that are Asian and black, who were surprised to find they had Irish ancestry. Immune immune to cold weather and awfully diplomatic. I’d say we are.

      That’s actually my message, the first one! I only listened today and didn’t realise Keelin read it out. For me the issue isn’t really money, but just the state of renting options 🥲 I wanted to find somewhere with slightly cheaper rent so my bf could pay 50/50 with me, but landlords / letting agents take the piss. I definitely do think you can live in better situations than me but it’s either getting really lucky or blowing your whole salary on rent. We live in a 1 bed cottage

    I’m in the US. Upstate NY. I moved out of my parents house at 18, and I just recently in the last 2 months moved back in with my parents, at almost 21. My father makes me feel so unwanted. He makes me feel like I’m a burden for being back home and I should have just figured it all out by now at 20. I would fight god to have an affordable one bedroom apartment close to my job and I’ve been working 6 days a week and saving as much money as I can during this economic state, and I’m still nowhere closer to getting a car, and moving out into my own place again. It’s just not realistic. And the stress he puts on me is the worst. I can’t have friends here either.

      Hi
      I’m so sorry your in this situation. When you do feel loved and happy in your home it’s a hell.
      I was kind of in the same situation as you Even if I worked 6 days a week I couldn’t pay my rent and general stuffs. So what did I do? I left the big city. I didn’t have to do my job in this city. So I chose a smaller city and now I can afford to just live with the same salary.
      I was a hard choice because I always thought I would live in this city. But I realized it was not worth it for me. It took me 6 months to change and a lot of courage.
      I don’t know if it’s a solution for you but do you really need to live NYC? We know the rent are out of price. It’s not a place for regular people anymore. Regular people cannot live there anymore.
      I hope you will find a solution. You are not alone.

    i’m brazilian, so it’s a completely different culture here and living with your parents until well into your 30s is normal because the cost for housing has always been so high. honestly my biggest problem with still living with my parents with no idea of when i’ll have a place of my own is how that makes my parents act as if i’m still a child. like the dynamics have gotten so weird. they still get way too worried when i go out late at night and become hyper-protective whenever i’m thinking of going through a new experience, and their worry kinda infects me and i myself start to think that i’m not mature enough to deal with “grown up experiences”.

    I'm only 19 and I'm already so worried about this, I'm turning 20 soon and the idea of leaving my teens and having no plan of moving out or a real plan to a mature high paying job is so daunting. The worst part is that my mum went through a really bad break up and was forced to sell the family home so she's renting with no possibility of buying . I can't morally dream of moving out to another house and pay them and leaving my mum by herself, not even to think about buying and leaving her without a house. It's such a hard choice. We have a good relationship but she still is too protective, feels like her opinion is too important and her moods can be too much. What terrible choices we have ahead of us

    I moved out when I was 22 years old, and moved back in with my parents when I was 24 years old because of the pandemic and my dad died in 2020. We didn't have a good relationship with my dad, he wasn't a nice person (not abusive, just want to make that clear) but I love my mom. And honestly? Now i'm 27 years old sharing an apartment with my mom and I LOVE IT! We share cost of bills, rent etc. We have so much fun together, She's one of my best friends. I'm not planning on moving out for a while, it just doesn't make sense to do that. Especially in this economy. I get a bit defensive about it at times, but when I tell people no one is weird about it. I told my new colleagues at work, and one lady who is 52 said she moved back in with her mom when she was 35 years old and loved it. She later got married and moved in together with her partner. It's definitely a culture and personal thing if you want to move or not.

    Hi, I’m 25. I lived in Limerick city & then Salthill, Galway for college and I’m now back in my home town in Cork living in my childhood bedroom. I love my parents and I have a very good relationship with both of them but I miss the freedom I had when I lived away from home. Not that they’re controlling in any way, but the difference between living in a city versus a town is stark! I’ve a masters in publishing, the job market for it is highly competitive, with the number of applicants greatly outweighing the positions available. Basically all the jobs are in Dublin as well. With the cost of rent there and it being so far away from all my family, I feel very stuck. No idea what the future holds for me. Applying for jobs all the time, so many rejections even though I’m certainly qualified, but I’m not sure if I’d be able to accept one even if I got an offer because I’d possibly have nowhere to live.

    living in australia and being australian theres definitely a housing crisis here too, if your not sharing a place and working minimum wage on top of going to university it was a really hard situation, I attended full time from Monday to Thursday and worked full time friday through to sunday. burnout is real, now living with my friends family and her I'm worried that I'm overstaying my welcome but know they want me here at the same time. even though I have the option of going home, I just know it will stunt myself even more in progressing in life.
    now for the Irish who live here, there's a small Irish pub near my work in clovelly (sheas), we have A LOT of young families and students and just mid twenties workers who live here, I believe there's a couple of facebook groupchats that they all connect with on, definitely a sense of community but man some are still struggling bc Australia is quite hard to live on your own if your not earning an amazing amount

    In south Africa where I live, because of the high unemployment and apartheid history most young people live with their parents unless you belong to the predominately white upper middle class/rich. I'm lucky, because my parents live in a relatively safe suburb, but the city I live in still has the legacy of spatial apartheid planning and most of my friends who live at home are in unsafe areas with little access to fundamental services. I grew up and still live in a religious Muslim community where women don't move out until marriage even if they have the means. At nearly 26 I'm doing my third degree in, because my liberal arts education did nothing to help me get a job. It can be really lonely being infantilized while I watch my wealthier friends move on and live adult lives while I have to ask my mom if I can leave and am not allowed to date. Obviously not everyone has a toxic relationship with their parents, but I really think people underestimate how limited one's options are as a young person in the global south, and I think those living in the global while obviously struggling the reality here is a world apart.

Seems impossible to start a future with someone while living with parents and casual hookups (which I was never bothered about anyway) are definitely off the cards so I'm intimacy-less for the forseeable being single which sucks. Seems like the system is deliberately stacked against us which is somewhat comforting as a lot is out of my control but this doesn't really make me feel better about the lack of privacy/independence.

    As a young Australian who lives in Melbourne, the rent here is far from okay. We rent in an upper middle class area (where we used to own a house) in a very nice house. The biggest problem in melbourne is the state of house avalable to rent, our house has a crack in wall (like doctor who's crack in the universe) from work approved by the owner but not fixed (it been roughly a year without them beinging fixed), a roof which is rotting, light fixtures which are fire hazards but aren't fixed and more. We haven't asked for anything to be fixed beaucse the last time we did that they upper our rent by $100 a week, the agreement is monthly so they can upper the rent each month and not reapprove next month, the stability and qualitiy of renting in Melbourne are extremely poor.

    I'm in Australia and now understand why so many young Irish people are here. They tell us the cost of living in Ireland is bad but I never realised the extent of the situation. The rising cost of living and difficulty of finding a decent rental in Australia has been tough but this sounds like a nightmare

    I'm 21 in the UK with ASD. My only housing option atm is living with my Nan who has dementia.
    I won't even try to date till I have my own space as my mental health is shite and my Nan won't stop messing with the kitchen. I can't keep any food here except expensive prepacked crepes hidden in my bedroom and have to get 2 buses across town every day to eat dinner at my parents. Or else risk food poisoning. I've tried cleaning her fridge on multiple occasions but I simply don't have the energy or time to do it regularly and she's refusing to get a career.
    Trying to get my own place has forced me to look at living hours away from home along train lines just so I can afford a studio. Which will be difficult considering my support needs but I can't stay here.

    Being from Toronto, ON I relate so much to this 😩 the housing market is absolutely fucking mad here right now it's impossible to get an affordable place even an hour from the city centre. I'm 25 and I live with both my parents, brother, his wife, and their kids... But most of my friends are in a similar position to me, it's crazy right now
    The AVERAGE cost for a house in this area is 1 MILLION dollars. Absolutely fucked

      Hey, I currently live in Toronto, originally from Tokyo Japan. I honestly feel for your generation. I'm currently 32 and left Japan to live on my own at 18. The economy wasn't all that great, bak then, but at least it was relatively easier for my generation to at least get a 1 bedroom apartment, during our early adult years. Now, only a micro fraction of early 20 something year olds are able to begin their lives as full fledged adults. Have you considered looking for roommates?

    The issue is happening globally. I live in New Mexico after moving from the east coast of the states. We moved in with my husband's folks before having a baby. Apart from homeschooling my little one for the past 5 years, Ive had to be the stay at home mom to deal with aaallll of the events that have happened in the home: death of a parent, an elderly great grandmother moving in, an estranged child from a previous relationship making me a stepmother, a partner with addiction issues and my own severe childhood trauma. One thing I have learned is that boundaries are the only saving grace. I have no mom or siblings and my stepfather is married on the other side of the country. I've had to learn agency in this time and that my value isn't to be monetized. Standing in my own power as a person who is everyone's fallback is not easy because the whole family thinks I am a loser with no "real job." Yet they have no problem asking me to deep clean their home. Boundaries with family have to be so much stricter than boundaries with coworkers.

    there’s currently a terrible housing and COL crisis in australia too - at least in melbourne and sydney 😣 i live in melbourne and tbh i wouldn’t recommend ppl emigrating here to escape the housing crisis, unless they have a really solid understanding/plan for finding accommodation. it’s hard enough for young ppl and students to find semi-affordable places :/ (perth might be a different story though)

    i live in australia, have never been to ireland but can assure you that in the biggest cities (sydney and melbourne) the cost of housing is as bad or worse than ireland. other costs are pretty fair (food, healthcare etc.), but the cheapest studio unit in sydney is $400k aud (245k euro). 1 bedroom apartments roughly 600k aud minimum (367k euro). sydney is the most expensive of australian cities, pretty closely followed by melbourne. we are lucky though that prices are lower in more regional places and in cities that people arent so keen to live. (perth looks lovely but its very remote from the rest of the population of australia for example) overall though lifestyle is pretty good here... sun always shining where i live! apparently a small percentage of australian 25-29 year olds live at home (17% i read) but a large percentage of sydneysider 25-29 year olds live at home (varies by suburb but looks like around 70 percent... maybe lower maybe higher haha). and our government seems hell bent on ensuring that house prices and rents continue to rise. i plan on living in a van after i finish my degree to save to buy an apartment in or near sydney. one good thing financially about australia (in addition to having medicare) is that salaries and wages are imho ok to good. minimum wages are $27+ per hour as casual across australia. baristas can be $40+ (especially in melbourne). teachers $65-90k in my state. government jobs are getting harder to get, but if you can get one they pay well over what is needed to live frugally. so yeah if you can find some way to save on rent then australia is a great place to set up, probably just avoid a lot of the capital cities!

    We’ve got to stop looking at it as if our parents are still looking after us and doing us favors. They want us around l, they want to spend time with their grandkids, and multi generational households are healthy for children. My parents are only getting older, they need the young bloods around to help with reading fine print, sending emails and cleaning gutters. That the economy doesn’t accommodate the young only benefits the elderly so we should stop minimizing the unpaid elder care our generations are now indentured to. We who live at home with our parents should be revered.

    You're blaming the government, which I agree, but its not the vulture funds thats the problem.. its the inadequate supply of houses. If its anything similar to the UK, the government presuably stopped building houses and let 'the free market' do it except with tons of more regulation which puts off development. To top that off, you have immigrant population that is rising.. so you're competing with them for housing. Rent caps impacts future rental ability (ie; landlords will either leave the market or won't enter the market) as there is no profit in it for them. Why would you risk indebting yourself for a house you think won't bring enough income (due to rental caps) ?
    well you wont... and we are seeing an exodus in the UK of landlords for this very reason.

I’m a female apprentice electrician and I living in Dublin, I got called for college in LAOIS?? So I had to find someone to live in my room so I don’t loose it even after telling SOLAS that I will be homeless if I can’t get someone to live in my Dublin house!!! As an apprentice on €8 an hour I have to pay my own bills my own rent my own tools at 24!!!! I now pay for my rent in Dublin and Laois!!!! I can’t grasp how people are coming into the country getting a free house and NOT contributing to the economy?? But somehow I’m an ap electrican contributing to economy and future of housing and I can’t get a room at a decent price???? The government pays €4k to employers to take on a woman but we’re still struggling I don’t fucking get it😅MAKE IT MAKE SENSE

    If your going through school and saving up from part time work here and there even as a young adult its no sot bad still living with the rents especially in todays economy. If your dating someone just stay at a hotel and tell her its only a temp situation until you finish school and save up enough to move out from the rents im sure she'd understand as long as your honest. Just stay at a Marriott or Hilton for a night or two and invite her over not a big deal. But yea NO motel 6 or car sex thats bottom barrel shit.
