Yes, best decision I’ve made. As long as they have the space I don’t see an issue with living with them until you get married. But I also understand that some people don’t have that option as they have a different family dynamic than us immigrants.
Its a good move, but dating will definitely be impacted.
I did in my mid 20s and it was hell. That had everything to do with my family dynamic though. I think it is something that completely depends on your relationship with your family, the space available, and how eager they are to welcome you back. It's a great way to save money if it won't negatively impact your mental health.
I would do it if I could go back in time. Not from a money standpoint but also just for seeing parents.
Your average American who graduates and goes off to college and moves to a different city will only see their parents ~500 more times before they pass. It's a sad thing to think about when you consider from the age of 0 to 18, you saw them 6570 times.
So sorry to hear that. Hope you get to spend as much time with her as you can.
Probably ok in the very early 20s. After that is tough
I seriously thought about doing that at one point and didn't, and I have regretted it at times. I think it would have worked out fine and I could have saved a lot. But, admittedly, the things you didn't do can look better in retrospect. Anyway, depending on your family, it might be a good idea and work out just fine.
I did it during 2020 and it worked really well because I wasn't really dating or socializing much at the time, and living alone was less than ideal during that year. I think if I were you, I would just set a cap to only do it for a year and a half, and not fall into the trap of staying there longer.
