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
Deloitte 3. Same. While I don’t live at home, I live alone and not with friends because I dnt think I could handle it lol.

No, but I’m jealous of the like 100k you’ve saved in rent.
29 and “moved back” while working remotely cause it was too lonely living in my apartment alone and my parents have a pool in the backyard
I own my own condo though... not much in savings except utilities. I put in my fair share for groceries and takeout.

I’m mid 40s and begging to move back now — the job, the wife, the kids, the economy — can’t handle it anymore!

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
Honestly I wish I could stay. Would love to save more money but I just decided to move from the toxic environment. I learned no amount of money is worth my happiness and sanity. Don’t know if anyone is in the same boat but I’m happy for those who are happy staying at home
Yeah love my family but we all need our own spaces. If anything we make it a reoccuring thing to spend more time together once we don't see each other everday.
Live at home and paid off the student loans. Embrace the savings.
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.
Agreed saving the money is nice but having my own space is better for my sanity.
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...)
A couple of years younger but same boat. People will always find a way to trash you if they could, and it can involve this topic. Remember to laugh when you got some billzzzzz saved up (hopefully)
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 have 2 friends who weren’t financially able to move out until they were 36. Hang in there. Keep at it. Save your money, get creative. It will happen if you really want it to.
I was when I was 28, then moved out of the country
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.

Just keep waiting. Milk it until you get serious with someone.
stay as long as you can.
Living at home at 28 and loving it

I left at 18, came back for a year at 22 then left the country. :)

Similar but reverse. 31 and parents are living with me. I’m moved out of state and bought my own house but moved back in recently. Planning to buy another for myself soon lol
