How do you guys feel about this? I have a 2nd cousin who is 26 and he is still living with his parents. He's not married, but I think he has a gf of which he brings home every so often. Not sure whether or not he's helping his parents pay the rent, but most ppl I know have moved out of their parents' households when they hit 18 or 21 at the latest. So do you guys think this is normal? And if you were to get married, would you mind living with your parents or moving in with your SO's parents if a circumstance required you to do so? Personally, once I get married, I'd like to live on my own with my SO (whoever that may be). But I guess if his parents were sick or something like that, I wouldn't mind moving over to their house so that he could take care of them. Although I think it'd be kinda awkward...-_-2
i think it is ok. at 26 years of age >> still living with his/her parent is becoming the normal. especially with the increase of tuition for college-bound/graduate-instituted individuals. but, it would be more worth-while to explore living independently for it is an experience completely different from living with one's parents. married and lives with their parent (presuming the groom's). i think it normal. i know some asian family requires their children to live them at least for a year or so. it build a strong foundation and financial stability before they find a place of their own. all in all i think it really depends on the individual's personality and their parent's personality and essentially it depends on the culture/environment of where they are raised on.
I know plenty of people who still live with their parents/grandparents when they're at least 26. These people feel that they should stay at home to take care of their families (like parents or grandparents) because their families took care of them for all those years. I think that's a very responsible person. If you're just freeloading off your parents when you have a job & are living at home, it's a different story, but when you're making your own money, you should start paying rent to your parents. I don't live @ home anymore...I haven't since I've graduated from high school because the UC that I go to is too far away from home. But I'd move back home in a heartbeat if given the option because I worry about my mom & how nobody is there to take care of her. I'm really conflicted on whether or not I want to live with my mom after I get married. In some aspects, I don't really want to live with her because it'll be strange. I mean, I've lived with my mom for most of my life so it's ok...but then my husband will have to get adjusted to living with a stranger (my mom). But then I also want to live with my mom because I'm worried that no one is there to take care of her. Guess I'll think about this when I really do get married.
Well i have a 29 year old cousin who's still living with his parents. But that situation is quite unique. For one thing he has been living next door to his gf for 14+ years, and now they're married. And I think his parents wants him to stay living there because (1) It's a big house (6+ bedrooms), and with only 4 ppl living there...there's no issue about it being too cramped. (2) Has yet to maintain a solid job. So being able to afford a house/car/water/heat... will be quite difficult. I myself -will- move out when im graduated from uni. But only if i have the money to sustain myself without problems or assistance.
A lot of people live with their parents until they finsh school. So its no surprise I know a couple of people thats around their late 20s and still live with their parents
Its very common in the asian culture for people to live with their parents till their 30's. Most asians live with their parents until they get married and find a stable job. I have an apartment of my own because of school. I would rather live my parents in order to save money, but Im feeling very comfortable living on my own now. Even if i graduate I would still want to have my own apartment because of the privacy. Eventually I will help my family buy a house. Thats how Asians do it. THe entire family pulls together to buy a house. Family comes first in my book and I could care less about what the rest of society is doing.
its stupid to move out early. The earliest you can finsh university is around age @21 typically. itll take you at least a few years to get rid of your tuition debt and establish your career. "moving out" is so 80's. These days its common for ppl of all races to stick around @ home till their late 20s.
sticking around at home means you don't have to pay rent.. therefore you can spend more money on stuff you want at the spur of the moment ..like shopping XDXD
for reals like spur of the moment burberry shirts -lol. nah but if you have a job tho, you should at least give some money to your parents.
i wish i could still live at home. now i have to work, pay for bills, cook, clean, and take care of my house. if i were to still live at home, all of my money would go straight to me. plus, i wouldn't have any family withdraws from living 500 miles away. trust me guys...you want to stay at home where all of the conviences are. just to let you guys know, i moved out when i was 18...5 years ago.
