Why are half of adults 18-24 stuck living with their parents? (Page 2)

Housing is unaffordable due to regulations and unskilled labor is forced to compete with the entire world of similarly unskilled labor due to immigration and free trade deals with poor countries.

[RebelinSteel]

House prices are a huge reason, also going to uni local to where your parents live saves cash and helps reduce student debt. If a house is say £300k you need about 10% deposit. All that depends on circumstances it may be a larger %.

i don't have a job and even if i did i neither want to waste all my money on bills nor living alone, why would i wanna stay alone? and i absolutly have no interest in relationships so no need for a house, at least in the next 10 years or so.

Kids get useless degrees, have no desire to establish independence, are afraid of being on their own, and the parents have tolerated or encouraged these problems.

[WhitneySnow]

Because they’re still in college and they don’t live in a dorm. Or maybe the person who took that survey did it in the summer when everyone’s home from school.

[WhitneySnow]

And there’s nothing wrong with being bi/pan/omnisexual or being a nonbinary gender.

I love how you say your opinion like it's a fact. A sure sign of mental illness

[Fireguy17]

they lack the drive to get out of thier house.
It is too easy to come up with excuse after excuse.
And parents put up with it.
Back in the day you were pretty much shown the door and it was good luck, so you did what you had to do.

Main issue in UK is a lack of housing in the South, and lack of jobs in the North. Means houses are unaffordable for different reasons but its difficult for young people these days to get in the property ladder

have... have you not see the economy, housing prices, rents, groceries, gas, utilities... ?

[Anonymous]

Its common in my culture. Families tend to stick together and live together. Better to have a bigger home where there's plenty for everyone. Allows us to be there for our parents as they age. A good healthy loving environment for the future generation. Way better than the parents ending up in an old age home. Also a lot better than having a stranger to babysit the kids, the parents will happily look after their grandkids.

Mostly because it's become so ridiculously expensive to get a place of your own nowadays.

[exitseven]

The cost of houses is very expensive and mortgage rates have more than doubled over the last 3 years. Taxes have risen and so has the price of everything else.

[genericname85]

because the cost of living was rarely as high as it is now. not speaking about "absolute cost" but cost relative to income by age since inflation has gone crazy over the last decades.

[Asker]

What European nations are your ancestors from

[OddBeMe]

I don’t know honestly. There’s a job market for the educated.

Rent is going up. But it’s still pretty easy to buy a condo. I’ve done it several times.

[JacobJordan]

Because America is doing such a good economic job 🤣 no really because jobs refuse to pay people a living wage

[JHAYES317]

Economy sucks. Also a majority of young men are unintentionally single these days so it’s harder to afford rent on a single income

[Anonymous]

18? Heck I was in my senior year in high school at 18. I think most are at home at that age.

18-24? I'm way past that and still living at home with my parents. No opportunities of any kind, nothing. Jesus is coming, repent people.

Societal chaos: People don't know what sex they want to fuck day to day or what gender they are?

Ha, its not limited to that, thats for sure.

[TheSpaceGnome]

I prefer the "multigenerational household" model of living. I think its stupid that everyone wants to buy their own house instead of passing it down/sharing with to each generation.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Your "societal chaos" update makes no sense.

[LiamJHayden]

In California since 2000 housing costs have risen eight times faster than incomes. Maybe that has something to do with it, at least in some areas.

[BCRanger10]

Probably a combination of anxiety, cost of living, lack of direction, and comfort.
