Guy acts like living with your parents is worse than having 50k in debt

[susanmarie]

I don’t think we should be so quick to judge why someone still lives in their parent’s home even though they are pushing 30. Not fair. Not everyone who does this is a “failure to launch.”

[olivias]

Honesty I think Dr. D is way too harsh on this one. You don’t know people’s personal, financial, cultural situation. My husband comes from a culture where you stay at home with your parents until you get married. My husband never lived on his own before we got together and he’s the most mature, responsible guy I know. A lot of people graduate from college drowning in debt and cleaning up that mess can take 5 + years so if someone is comfortable living at home, their parents are on board, they are contributing financially and there’s not an unhealthy level of codependency I don’t understand why it’s this huge issue. There are certainly people who are mature and adult like despite living with family members. I’m sure there are other people who are being enabled and in an unhealthy codependent situation where they aren’t working towards goals etc but that’s probably only a small portion of people in this guys situation. It sounds like in this guys situation moving was the right decision but no need for the “little boy being babied” undertone.

I graduated college at 26 got laid off twice finally found another job I’m 28 my mom doesn’t even care if I’m there or not. I plan on moving out this spring but I’m not going to be rushed by what society thinks.

[johndvorak]

wow there are some really hateful people here and i was shocked that Delony thought it was strange. I won't judge anyone for staying at home. I stayed at home until I was one month away from 27 (though I was out of state in college for 4 years). was able to pay off ALL of my student loan debt. the safety net of home allowed me to work a very unstable temp job that had me change employers about once a year but it had HUGE amounts of career potential that has now led me to a corona/recession proof position that pays over 80K a year with advancement opportunities all over the place and ill be able to BUY my own place in 2021. im 28 now so feel free to tell me to man up and how my generation sucks.

Guys please don't stress over this i moved out at 26 im 27 And work amazon have nice car and lifes good dont let people bully you for nothing it will happen when you work at it dont stress or freak out over people's opinions about you people love judging you but you will overcome it

[richvail]

Cabin fever is a real thing. If an individual isn’t pushed to leave the nest it gets more difficult as the years go on. Same with leaving ones home town. I moved over 20 times in my life but when I actually spent time in one location for a number of years I started to feel a bit of anxiety about moving, even though I knew it was for the best. This is amplified way more for people who lived in the same house their whole lives.
Embrace the fear and do what is right. You can only have one master, so don’t let fear be that master.

[alvarocristobal]

This was a very unprofessional call on Dr. D’s part. I’m disappointed where I otherwise would have been a fan. Constant snide and clever remarks at the guy’s expense (the man having to laugh nervously). It’s just distasteful.

Give him a break, his circumstances are fine, acceptable and pretty normal compared to the rest of the world. In Spain where I come from, multi-generational households are the total norm so maybe perhaps let’s cut this young man a break? I mean, it’s not like he did nothing with his life. He’s out there working.

[respectabletampodcast]

I’m 28 and still living at home. My parents likes having the family together, but I think I need that independence. Ideally, I would love to move five hours away. I need a game plan.

[simone]

This guy is being super rude. Someone called his show for advice and he’s literally criticizing them. And he said he’s moving out! Smh lol so crazy

[susanmarie]

In the old days, multi-generational families all lived under the same roof or in close proximity to run the farm and nobody thought it was weird. In modern times, I think it is important to look at the reason why millennials and other age groups are continuing to live at home. This is on a case by case basis since everyone has their own family dynamic. Best wishes to the young man in establishing his independence.

[bradleyhillson]

I'm 29 living at home. Moved home at 26. Saving like crazy to purchase a property vs. renting. I live in one of the most expensive area's in North America and it is very tough to get ahead.

[cjlive]

Wow why call for advice to be ridiculed. People do have mental issues that cause them to isolate and not leave.

[games]

I understand the move away from home ASAP narrative, it helps you grow as a person and figure out who you are and how you handle the world on your own. However, it's also highly situational and moving away prematurely/without a solid foundation can be self-sabotage and a recipe for disaster, which means you'll have to move back in, which many people end up having to do.

[marktheshark]

This was terrible. Don’t understand why he kept making fun of the guy. When I’m 27, I’m gonna call in to his show just to tell him I still live at my moms and to just call to tell him my net worth which will definitely be over 100k

[Dariusissocool]

I’m in a similar situation. Just turned 28. Made it through some tough health battles. Got a job and about to graduate and move across the country. Anxiety is creeping in but the excitement is louder.

[stellao.]

I don’t think he’s so anxious about leaving his parents. I think it’s about moving to a new city

[DeltaLou]

I moved out at 23 and it was the best ever.

[YesIHaveManyProblemsThanks]

Im 33 and I live with my parents 😭I have a full time job and a lot of money saved up, I can go grocery shopping. I want to move out but my mom doesnt want me to.

[arturotorres]

I'm 37 living with my parents. Was supposed to move out in 2020 but due to the Pandemic it got postponed. I first moved out when I was 21 and moved back in when I was 31 after losing my full-time job. The security of your parent's home is under-rated, especially with the mass unemployment this pandemic caused. Also as an Hispanic with a collectivist culture who values family, we tend to stick to family a bit longer than the U.S.'s individualist culture of parent's kicking their kids out after age 18.
