scandinavia…

Most of us are broke, unemployed or working in a shitty job that don't pay enough to a person to live alone. And our parents are getting old, sick and lonely, most of then need a lot of support, so, I don't even that there's a "stigma" anymore. Most of people who likes to talk shit about living with parents are retards from internet who are totaly detachted from reality

I lived at home until I was 31 and only moved out because my partner already owns his home. I did feel a palpable sense of relief when my friends from uni started moving back in with their parents after COVID. It's pathetic that it took near-recession to drag everyone else down to the same level as me, and it's even more pathetic of me to feel a sense of relief that people then assumed I was just going through difficult times. Unless the world economy drastically improves and the current direction of mass-exploitation by monopolistic corporations changes, I think this is the new normal. Inflation rises by 15%, food and rent go up by 50% because you have no choice but to pay whatever they demand, and they only have the incentive to keep costs low enough to let you barely survive.

We keep maturing later and later. 35 is supposed to be middle age.

seems more cultural than anything. If the older generation wants their kids out they will make houses cheap. If they want to make houses expensive they will keep their kids home unless they are rich af.

I'd have lived at home too if my parents weren't horrible people who would just scream at me all day and kick me out after a week.

As long as you work and pay bills, what's the problem with living at home? Unless you're wealthy, there are only two choices, living with parents and living with strangers (roommates).

I wish I could live at home but my mother is a crazy fucking hoarder. She doesn't even live at her main house though, she lives with my sister helping her with childcare. Holy shit my mother is an absolute nut. Pays 6k a year in property taxes for a beautiful property she completely destroyed with neglect.

its actually really common in some cultures to stay with your parents
my mom (from turkey) lived with her parents until she was 25, when she got married
her older brother who has a wife and kids now still shares a house with her parents, his family has the top floor and my grandparents have the bottom floor
its not inherently a shameful thing, it is literally only culture that dictates whether its shameful, in fact it can even be seen as preferred in countries with strong familial ties because it means you're there to help your parents out. the West has abandoned the notion of strong family ties in favor of individualism, and look where that's gotten us- homelessness abundant, elderly rotting in homes, native population literally dying out and being replaced by immigrants (not racism just facts)
family is INCREDIBLY important, but Westerners treat their BLOOD as an afterthought, abandoning their parents and only calling them once a year if that

ok I shouldn't say native population when I mean European settlers- but you know what I mean

I feel like it has to be because they have such accessible public housing, right?

>>298197
I grew up in the West and this was the same for me, I lived with my parents through university until I got married

>>298221
I meant to say like my parents are from the East so growing up in the West I got the same treatment

Public housing? That sounds like communism. People here move into student housing when they're 19. If they're not studying they'll rent or buy something else a year or two later. In Stockholm there's no way to rent unless you're a boomer or rich enough to afford black market sublets. There's a queue for housing, and you need like 20-25 years in the queue to get something. Those apartments are dirt cheap and serve as a form of universal basic income for boomers to rent out to struggling youth for three times the price.

ideally we should live up to 100, so 50 is middle age

i moved out of my parents house when i was 19 and never looked back. i can't even imagine how horrible it would be living with one's parents in your 30s

spain and italy have no work ethic

I think I should move to Denmark.. (don't come for me, I'm not serious). The average sales price for a home is nearing 500k euro in my country (while space has halved)
