As an Asian who spent my whole life in the Philippines, this is one of the biggest Western culture shock

Me at 26; Asian families are built different, our parents take it as a disownment if you move out before getting married lol

Why people thinks only jobless adults still lives with their parents? You can work full time job, and still live with them. The joy of getting your money and telling your mom, she doesn't need to cook because you buying food, or treating them for dinner is the best feelings ever... Its like I've completed something.

i swear to god the american culture of the peer pressure to move out as soon as you are 18 scares me. in my country it is completely normal and acceptable for unmarried adults to still live with their parents

edit: i'd recommended you grab a snack and some water if you're planning on reading the replies, it's really entertaining though

Please do stay with them for as long as possible. Don’t feel the need to rush. If they are supportive and your environment is positive please please stay. Too many of us millennials moved out too soon and started paying rent and are struggling to buy homes. Even with college degrees in hand!

I’m American, 27 and still live with my mom. My sister is 25 and still lives at home too. We are all working adults who contribute, do chores and live comfortably. Unfortunately it’s impossible to get our own place, so the best option is to have a more spacious place with 3 incomes. I used to feel bad, but now I don’t give a shit. I’ve heard it all and got so much unsolicited advice. I used to think that eventually I will get my own place when I am comfortable financially, and my mom can move in when she’s ready to retire…..but the future seems bleak with these rent and housing prices. At this point I’m willing to be a responsible adult at home and just enjoy life by traveling with my family.

Edit: Ih my goodness, so many positive comments. Thank you so much guys and I wish you all good luck in living the best way you can at home and not at home 💕

I’m 31 and I live with my Dad. Starting to make more money, the plan is for me to take over the mortgage and raise my family here.

Idk I’m living with my parents till I’m married 😭

It's not a legal requirement, but culturally, in Indian society, parents are considered caregivers till their child gets married. So, Indian parents look at living seperately in the same city as a waste of money, time, and effort. So, unless, you are studying/working in another city/country, or *really really* want to shift out, you pretty much live at home till you're married. In fact, some families are joint families, which means the married kids and even their kids live with the parents (everyone contributes ofc). FYI, sometimes, when girls shift to another city, parents will ask them to shift in with a relative or close family friend so that they're safe and looked after. That's a collectivistic society for you! We're proud of it, and it's also got its own problems, but there's a big focus on family sticking together.

I feel really bad for you guys just starting out. The cost of living is absolutely insane. I told my kids live with us till you can afford a down payment and buy your own house because rent is just throwing money away right now. even in my tiny town, it's 1200 for a shoe box size studio.

[missgacha]

In india, we live with our parents until we're married😀😀

I'm 30, still living with my parents, still not working (just finished my master degree and I couldn't work part-time because I was too stressed out due to the pressure at college), still receiving money from my parents sometimes, but good news is a company just accepted me and I will start working at the end of this month and I'll be living separately at a boarding house too.
So folks, my point is as long as your parents are okay with that, then just stay with them without shame. BUT, know your place and situation. You are an adult who should be responsible for your life on your own. Don't 'use' your parents because they are fine with keep giving you money in your adulthood. Work yourself out. You'd be a much better person! 😊

I'm living in Texas and still live at home lmaooo, I'll be 25 next month 😭😂😂
It should be normalized lol

[victoria]

My parents both moved out as soon as possible and had to move back in with their parents in their twenties because things didn’t work out. That‘s why my parents always tell me that I can stay at home as long as I want to. I‘m now 23 and in university and they always tell me to get my degree first and then move out so I can really concentrate on my education 😌 don’t let anyone pressure you into thinking you should move out when there is no reason at all!

I’m 35 and live with my parents and my 6yo. I like that they have access to their granddaughter 24/7, and that I can help them as they age (they’re in their low 60s). It also saves on money. It’s a win win. Also, my culture is Bahamian 🇧🇸 culture, so unmarried daughters often live at home.
Housing is getting tight down there, so living home is kore normalized. As long as bills get paid, it’s all good. We also
love and respect our parents and like to take care of them.

[zeldaafitz]

I’m 27 with my parents don’t worry about it lol

[Evan_]

Dw girl in Italy we stay with our parents even in our late 20s/early 30s😭😭

[feistyfrog]

I moved out immediately after 18 for college. I regret it deeply, only because of how shit the renters market is (the CHEAPEST apartment I could find was right off of a busy street, with fucking roaches is 1250 per month NOT including utilities or parking) If you can, stay and save as long as you need. Work a lil job, build your money, get a degree, and then go from there.

[evacantu]

I think we need to normalize adults living with their parents especially if you’re a young adult times aren’t the same and if you’re blessed with loving parents stay around them as much as possible before time takes them from you it’s beneficial for both sides in my eyes assuming you do your part for them as well
