    30 here and live with my parents. I never had a chance to move out on my own since the job I worked for a very long time only paid $27k before taxes. I recently got a new job that pays $50k before taxes, but need to work on my insane levels of anxiety that comes with the thought of doing something that might let someone else down or cause someone I care about to have to do more work (I help out A LOT at home to the point my parents tell me to calm down sometimes).

  • Unfortunately I do. No way I can make enough money to live alone during college. Hell, I am extremely slow at everything, I feel like I need at least 30 hours a day and 10 days a week to do what I need to.

    35 still living with my mom. After university I lived abroad for some time but then get into serious crisis of meaning and was like a living zombie for 2-3 years. Then found a nonprofit organization for which I needed some serious work and time to put it on the ground (similar to starting a business, but with a different goal). Now it pays off, but I am into very serious saving for big thing for future, so rather stay here still. I also love my mom so I enjoy the family life.

    I live with my mom and brother. If I could live on my own I would, but this is better than the alternative for any of us.

    Mostly I wish that we all had our own bedrooms, that I could do anything without either of them noticing, especially leave (I have perception anxiety and I don’t like being questioned about what I’m doing if I do something unusual.)

    In many (most?) non-Western cultures people live with their parents until they get married and move out. Just saying, it’s not a thing to “judge” a person for regardless.

      Considering OP has a Taiwanese flag in his username as well as a Japansese anime character name (with the kanji as well as the romaji, and a Chinese name (the hanzi as well as the pinyin), I’m guessing OP is at least moderately aware of non-Western cultures practices on the topic and I don’t immediately suspect OP is judging people for their answers either way.

        Didn’t say OP was, just that it doesn’t even fit the framework for “judgement”, it’s not a moral failing or developmental hangup, that’s all. 🤷👍

    I lived with my parents until I was 21.

    My nephew at 20 is still living with his parents.

    My brother in law lived with his dad until he got married at 40, he lived and worked on his family farm.

    I’m 32 and live with my mother again. I lived in other places for about 10 years. Got a remote job, wanted to move closer to family and friends, and failed to find a proper apartment for an affordable price. Luckily I have the privilege of my parents possessing a fairly big house, so we moved in and live rent free.

    33, still living with my parents. Stuck in a dead-end part-time job that’s not nearly enough to be able to live on my own any time soon.

    I lived with family until I was 29. Around that time, I got a new position at work that roughly doubled my salary, so after saving for a few months, I was able to move out and get an apartment.
