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.

Yes but my parents don’t own a home so I cannot live with them. They r homeless. Dad lives in his car and mom lives in a strangers garage. My parents r divorced so it’s not nice to see them grow old wen my entire life it was heading parents fighting yelling I was scared as a child my dad was scary. They still fight so I’ll be miserable forever heading domestic violence. Also I’m

Karma got her.

If you think alone is good then sure but you shouldn't keep the silly fights in mind let it go be a bigger person and help them now and then because you won't get parents ever again these are the only one's... mom's could feel robbed when children leave you are all she has in life she is just overly possessive you can help her with money and give a hug now and then... rich kids do get spoiled on parents money.. but there are people who's parents are poor or needs help and they keep their parents with them to take care of them!

u +1 yI’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.

Anonymous(36-45)+1 yBuying 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

My
Parents r homeless so living with them isn’t an option also they r divorced and I grew up with domestic violence so that ain’t an option to live with them together also it’s messed up they aren’t proud of me living alone independent & that things r going well for me. They r only proud if I live forver with mom. It’s sad cuz I have my own life now & they r selfish. I plan have a baby soon maybe end next year ready settle down. My dads retiring and will move to Mexico soon and mom has called me stupid, or made fun of me saying hahaha how u will rent a studio apartment if u make no sales from your business. Since last year I moved out and made good money from my business & she is homeless gets mad wen I tell her to rent a apartment she doesn’t want pay rent she loves being kicked out of peoples rooms or garages, she doesn’t want pay deposit to move in or run her credit. She only wants a huge mansion & gets angry wen I try give advice
Opinion Owner+1 yI am so sorry to hear about the things your Mum and Dad are saying and doing. They should be proud of you for being independent and having a job that allows you to make good money. I don't know you and I am proud of you.

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.

+1 yLol 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.

Right? My dad often tells me i dont deserve to be happy... like wtf is wrong with our parents generation? So angry
+1 yI 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.

But do u have divorced parents? Living with parents isn’t an option for me as I grew up with domestic voilence, there’s no way I will continue be living with parents fighting screaming daily ever again. I would be scared whole life seeing domestic voilence. U must have a perfect family & parents married no abuse or voilent dad.

Thank God no messed up situation in the family. Again, a lot to do with culture.
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.00 ReplyI 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 can’t feel bad for her being homeless living in a garage cuz how bad she treated me. Also the first time I moved out at 23 I offered her to come and she laughed said u don’t even make sales. I moved out and made good money from business sales. Karma got her back for being a bitch.

My parents divorced when I was about 5 years old and I didn't get to know my dad til about 10 years ago but he just died. I totally understand what u r saying about the criticism. My mom took out a lot of problems out on me and tried to control everything I did as I got older, so I just rebelled. Please don't do the stupid shit I did, stripping & hooking, heck no! 😤 U r still young and can even go back to school if u wna do something different. I know my mom didn't mean to treat me that way, but it still hurts. I am sure the same goes for ur Mom. She is just very upset w/herself, but she has no right to take it out on u.

Nah neither me or my husband had a job at that time. Babies really don't need much. I had a baby shower so getting stuff at the beginning wasn't a issue. a lot of people also gave me used baby gear. My husband got a job when our son was 9 months so after that we just got whatever we needed but for the most part we were saving everything he made.

@Sugar100 @Apple1996 at 18 if they kick you out you really only have three options go to college, enlist in the military and get a job that you can live off of.
A lot of jobs they don’t pay enough to live off off like minimum wage or if you live in expensive are. Gotta share a room with a few people.
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

Yea but u must have healthy parents cuz I grew up living with domestic voilence seeing and hearing parents fight daily I would be scared and cry daily. That’s y I’m happy living alone in peace, I can’t live with parents and continue seeing domestic voilence and dad abusing my mom. Also my parents r homeless they don’t own a home. I think only rich kids say they live with their parents as thier parents r rich own homes. That’s y they don’t move out
