I thought it was normal for young adults age 23-30 to move out? I’m hearing a lot of men 30 say they live with mom? i see on YouTube all these girls living alone in apartments & I thought in real life people live alone too? my parents are not proud that I live alone and independent. They will only be proud of me if I live with mom forever I’m 25 in 2 months?
I was stuck living at home until I was 26 due to the recession and having very little income. I live downtown with three roommates when I did move out, and I've been living on my own in South Korea for almost three years now.
There's nothing wrong with having to live with your parents as long as 1) you're making a conscious effort to try to find your own place, 2) you're at least helping out around the house, either with money or doing chores, and 3) you can move out at least before you hit 30, even if you have to eventually move back in. But yeah, if you're 30 and you've never left your parents house and you're not Asian, then something's wrong there.
Actually... Come to think of it, my cousin did just that! Lived with my grandmother in their 30s and never moved out! My grandmother died and they just took over the house and re-wrote the will. Kinda pathetic, when you think about it.
Some people move out even sooner then that some get kicked, but some would like to stay with their parents and family and see them grow old laugh and be happy, spending quality time with them instead of drinking with a stranger in bar... taking care of them is considered a thank you gift for giving you birth in some countries they always expect this. So do as you like don't care about society or your mom. You should stay with them but if you feel stuck or want freedom you are a free bird you should fly when you'd like but keep ties with them.
s I’ve heard that places like the UK and America, it’s normal for someone to not move out from their parents place until they’re in their late 20s or in their 30s. But here in NZ, most people move out at 18/19, some even move out when they’re 16. I moved out when I was 18 and I live with my partner now in our own place.
Buying a home and even just renting in general is quite expensive depending on where you live so living at home to a later age is beneficial for some as it allows them to save enough to buy a home for themselves. Some are still at home because they help care for the parent

Oh, there's a lot of fakers on Youtube. One of the funny things on Kevin Samuel's old show was all of the women who would come on and claim that they make six figures in jobs/career positions where they'd be lucky to be making $40-$60k.
Anyhow society is all messed up right now. People can do what they think is best and end up in very bad situations 5-10 years down the road. That was less likely the case the further back in time we look.
I remember hearing about a case where a guy lived at home with his parents forever & never left... never got a career or even a job. Just free loading. So when he was 40s they both died and he inherited their house BUT he was too broke to pay the taxes so eventually the house got grabbed by the government and he was whining about how unfair it was. He only had 40 years to get his sh*t together.
Lol im mid 30s, married with kids and my parents are upset i live independently. Weird, because for the first 18 years of my life they kept telling me im a loser if I dont make it on my own. Now im a loser for not being home to take care of them...
Honestly the boomer generation, i feel, is largely responsible for the messed up mental anguish put upon millennials.
I do not come from a culture where 18 means move out of parents' home. I eqs with them till 30+ when i had to leave the country. I have no regrets having lived with them and if circumstances permitted, I would go back to them at this old age where they need support.
I live at home. But I have a unique situation.
I just got my bachelor's degree and have not yet started my first job. I also have some medical limitations that make moving out more complicated. I think most guys should try to move out by my age.
I moved out when I was about 21. I couldn't take my mother anymore! After I lost my job when I was 24, I started stripping/hooking just so I could stay at the place I was renting!
I live with my husband and kids about 10 hours away from any family. My parents kicked me out at 18 so living with them isn't even a option for me
I started living alone at 22 and nowadays I live with my girlfriend, but the economical situation got worse for a lot of people because of COVID, young adults now are struggling more
My husband and I lived with our parents till we got married, then moved into our house. So neither of us have ever lived alone.
I just wanted to do my job and living alone but employers in my country genereally dont have ethic instincts. So i left my job and willing to return into my parents house
My partner and I just bought our first house together. I haven't lived with my parents since my second year of college so I was 20.
u I moved out at 17, and have been living either on my own, or with a SO, ever since.
Im 21 i live with my parents and my boyfriend is 25 and he lives with his parents. Everything is so expensive nowadays so we can’t move out without saving
As for me I live alone & sometimes my imaginary friends visit. Hahaha.
I lived with my parents until I turned 20, then I moved out and lived on my own.
I couldn’t get a job until very recently due to epilepsy, so I’m still working on getting my own place.
I moved out when I graduated from college. My father moved back into my house after my mom passed and lived with my family until he passed.
Even though I'm 18 and starting college in a few days I still live with my mom
I’m still living with my parents, much to my own dismay.
I don't have enough money to move out right now, so I have no choice
i'm 21 and i live with my Dad and brother :)
