I’m 26 and also live at home. I like spending time with my family and have over 100k in savings, so I’m not bothered. Don’t worry about it!

My brothers still live at home, in their mid to late 20s, and I may move back later this year and I’m turning 30. That being said, do you have 100k in a savings account? That’s a wasted opportunity imo

im only 23 but im definitely planning and staying with them until 28-30.
Im saving a lot of money and just enjoying family time. I really dont see anything wrong with it. Im nit planning on moving out until i get a house withmy boyfriend

I didn’t move till I got married. I don’t understand why so many are rushed to move out. I lost my mom not too long ago. Enjoy your time with family. And being at home doesn’t take away from adulthood. Not to mention the savings

I was graduating from college, moved into own place at 22, married at 25, baby at 27....now in my 40’s and kid is a senior in college. Both SO and I successful careers in big 4 consulting. Hope to retire at age 55 ish. Maybe I am just old 🤣, when I think of moving in with mom and dad at 40 it just seems too hard to believe. But I will say at 27 I didn’t have 100k saved, I was trying to find ways to pay for day care. Times change. In the end, you don’t need anyone’s permission to live the life that is best for you. Good luck

All our kids came home for the pandemic and I love them dearly but can’t wait for them to leave. Just kidding. Sorta. They’ve all reverted back to their 14 year old selves. There is nothing more annoying than when your 28 year old who has been furloughed asks you what you are making for lunch when you are working. Don’t complain about bandwidth issues, call the provider, get an upgrade, and pay for it. We set some ground rules and are now operating fine.

Seriously, to all of you - be sure you contribute to the household, even if it’s small things like taking out the trash, running the vacuum, bringing in take-out, or cooking dinner. Do things before you are asked. Make it so your folks will be sorry to see you go.

The savings are great but I couldn’t do it personally. Living an independent life and enjoying my 20s is more important to me. If I had stayed at home I would have missed out on so much in my life.

If you have a good family situation- why move?! As a society we have been conditioned that we HAVE to move out of our parents house...because well that’s what we should do?? Why? 1. Spend time with your family that as you get older probably won’t have that time. 2. SAVE money so that you don’t struggle later on in life and really not enjoy your time .... and move out when it makes most sense (like getting married or moving to different city/place...)

Don’t feel bad about. Low wages and skyrocketing rents make it difficult to live on your own, especially in cities. I’m 32 and have been in and out with family.

I am moved out of my parents house and moved to US 10 years ago

Yes. 33 and living with parents, although not for much longer. I didn’t start my career until 27, and then took through 30 to pay down my student loans. Then the last few years I have built up funds and am about to buy a new car and also have more than enough for a down payment for a house. I was going to move out this summer but I have severe asthma so with coronavirus I am hesitant to go out and look at homes, so I think I will postpone until next year. If I can wait until 33, I can wait until 34.
