Is it normal that more and more people in their 20s and almost 30s continue living with their parents? (Page 2)

Question

I noticed that moving out became more and more difficult in the 21st century... When moving out with 18 was so easy now you're lucky if you make it at 24/26.  Me and my SO moved out from our parents and into our appartment when we where around 26 years old... I'm very proud to say that we managed to do it alone without our families help. YET, I ask myself, wtf is going on? Why did moving out become so difficult today? Especially when you're single, I have friends that are in their 30s and still live with their mom because they are single and can't afford to rent a flat alone... I think it also depends from country to country, in italy, it's almost impossible to move out and make it on your own when you're single.  Unless you live in abandoned cities and countrysides.

Ironic_Method · Answer

Normal? Yes. In some places house prices have more than quadrupled in the last 30 years. There aren't any houses in my area that are decent for less than 800k. The pandemic has made it worse.

Turtleneck22 · Answer

Depend where you are. I don’t get how people can afford houses where I am. You use to be able to get starter homes in the 110 to 150,000. Now they are 400 to 500,000 and a nice home is 600 to a million.

A lot of it has to do with economics. If you have decent parents and a good gig at home, it's easy to stay.
