Would you date someone who lives with their parents if they had a job and didn't sit at home all day?

Yes

Noo

With inflation the way it is, it isn’t uncommon for a person to live at home because of high rent or high mortgage payments. Sometimes those costs require a second income. Especially for recently divorced, single mothers. Even college graduates find themselves updating their childhood bedroom to a more adult theme.


If you have noticed that there has been an explosion of “Tiny House” living. Even young couples are choosing to go this route so that they have more disposable income and can go out on the town and enjoy what life has to offer as opposed to sitting around the house or apartment just to save money to make rent or a $2000 to $2500 a month mortgage payment. Some do the tiny house thing so they can by land in a rural area to have some elbow room and escape crime ridden urban areas.

cost of living in the US is so high I wouldn't be surprised if majority of young people live with their parents. and if they working that is a good sign. a better sign would be if they are not only working but paying their parents rent. as that shows they are serious about being financially secure. most parents do not actually keep the rent money they store it all and when the child moves out they return it all.

I live with family but never owned my own home before. I do NOT want anyone to date me right now.

[Sasha0426]

I do have a job but I’ll end up scaring off any guy that’s interested.

[Ms_Facesitter]

Only if his parents aren't like mine. It wasn't healthy to stay there.

[Avicenna]

That would depend on her overall circumstances. If it's due to big financial problems or psychological problems, no way.

I encouraged each of my adult children to stay and gain savings after college and while they were working. They saved over $20,000 a year doing so and stayed about 2 years so that was $40,000. Thats a nice nest egg to have and beats an empty apartment any day.

[Jersey2]

40k, each :D

If they're at home taking care of their parents, sure. If they're at home just because they're cheap, no. Also depends on their age. 30? no that's too old, barring a family emergency, to still be living at home. Have you no want for privacy?

[Drumlin2001]

If I were single I'd be expecting to date someone of 30 plus, if they still lived at home i'd have to understand why. Given it would be me and my kids, it's a big change if she were to move in with me. Need to know she could handle it

[Uby10000]

I don't see the issue but probably because i am there. Still, i work but houses cost a shit load, i wouldn't mind more space for myself but i'm not hating my family either so...

[captain_voidwalker]

As long as they are employed I see no issue with it. Hell if they help with household bills it probably ranks them higher by a bit since it demonstrates an ability to think about more than just yourself

[Paris13]

Yes, And if No Car, I would Have One, hun. xxoo

[Fireguy17]

No, because at my age that would be a huge red flag unless they had a bazillion dollars, then I would have to rethink this.

Some people live at home because their parents need them, not the other way around, so hear the story first.

[exitseven]

Yes, in today's economy it is hard to afford to live on your own.

[TheSpaceGnome]

I'd prefer she was a work from home, so sitting home all day is a plus.

[alice55]

I would, I also live with my parents

[Anonymous]

I fail to see how having a job that doesn't allow you to live on your own is more attractive than having no job at all.

[Lisia]

Well at my age yeah..

[Simslover92]

Yes I certainly would.

[RedInnocent68]

Sure. Depends why. But life’s tough.

[In_Trance]

Depends why they're living with their parents

[DreamLife7]

Nope

[PreciousJewel]

No thank you
