My cousin was in his 30s and still lived at home. Had a well paying job, paid his parents rent. Did everything a normal adult does. He just couldn't be bothered to physically move out
Sometimes, I just can't help it.

I'm under 35 but there's objectively no possibly way I could ever afford to live independently.

Honestly, housing prices are so out of control these days that it's next to impossible for most people to live comfortably on their own. Whether you need to stay with parents or co-habit with someone else.

I'd prefer that over paying some random landlord's morgage, tbh. At least paying your parents helps them.

Yes. And you are also a failure if you are under 35 and living with your parents.

This requires context and everyone's situation is different. If you paying bills and taking care of them, no. If you are mooching off them and not working, yes.

I just turned 35.

Gotta love arbitrary statements that dont give anything to nuance.

I moved back in with my dad to help him with his cancer and overall health. It also saved me money.

I'm 36 and still live at home.

Don't have a job either. I get disability because I'm autistic.

If I'm considered a failure for that, I don't really care.

I get a lot of respect around the house, because I'm so easygoing and helpful. I'm very well liked among my family.

Government has failed a lot of people who reach this point in their lives. Fuck ya'll for victim blaming. Its easier to do that then to consider the ramification of terrible fucking pro-neo liberal policies and late-line capitalism that got us to where we are in the first place. But yeah, lets laugh at the unfortunate.

But do you feel you couldn't get a job? Autism can cause some communication and social issues without a lot of practice, but also there are lots of jobs that we excel it.

I think I COULD have a job, because I'm better than I was when I was younger. I'm just too comfortable on my disability and I don't really give a shit.

There's really nothing more I want to do or accomplish in my life. I don't want to travel, I don't want sexual relationships. I'm pretty much a schizoid personality. I'm sure that's why I'm so damned easygoing.

My life plan is to just take it easy and enjoy the simple pleasures.

I get the house. I also have brothers.

I'd just sell the house and try to get a low income apartment for disables.

I'm sure that sounds pathetic but it's really all I want to do for the rest of my life. Be alone and jerk off.

I wasn't judging. I was only asking because these situations happen and then the rug is pulled out.

The question is whether you are happy. I am just too social to be alone, but I also have crippling anxiety where I CAN'T be alone. So it isn't always rosy no matter what one's life is like.

I know everyone's situation is different but I can't even imagine spending my early 20s living with my parents.

I didn't have the kind of parents that gave a shit though. If I couldn't support myself I'd be out on the street.

My fiance lived with her parents until 28 when she moved in with me. But her parents are cool. Just a little prudish, but they put up with me.

No. Most people can't even afford the insane amount of rent apartments and landlords are charging. In order to live away from your parents you'd have to have at least 3 good paying jobs.

This is the thing.

I moved out at 16 and have been independent of my parents for the twenty years that followed. Even if my parents had been willing to let me stay, I wouldnt have wanted to.

However, I can appreciate that not everybody is in that kind of situation so making blanket statements without looking at the circumstances doesnt really mean anything.

Definitely situational. And as expensive as rent/mortgage can be these days (and everything else being more expensive and sucking up money) its increasingly understandable.

Personally I cant image doing that, though. I went to a community college and kept living with my parents until I wrapped that up, but was out pretty soon thereafter. I guess it wasnt horrible, they mostly gave me my space and I came and went at all hours but it definitely would be hard to go back now (or back when I was 35).

I have a.. cousin who also has some disability that I don't know of. He doesn't sound or really behave like he has any disability, but he wasn't good in school or work for whatever reason I guess and just lived at home to take care of his parents. His dad passed 2 years ago and his mom got a stroke after his dad passed, which has made her lose most of her right. I don't know what he's gonna do for rest of his life when his mom is gone. He can live with his brothers..
He spent his whole life taking care of his parents and not really ever doing what he wanted to do.

My mom and i live together but I've paid the majority of the bills. We split it if she's working but she hasn't always had a job. Also I signed the lease alongside her so its we live together rather than I live with her. I wanted to get her out of an abusive relationship. Dude was only ever abusive when she didn't have the means to leave him. He'd straighten up whenever she could. I pointed this out to her and so when we both had jobs I got us the fuck out of there.

My father lives with me, I guess. He had to move into my house after his condition made it impractical to live in his apartment (I stay over there when I want to be by myself).

Though my house was inherited free and clear from my late mother so I've always felt like I never quite moved out (even though I have lived by myself on multiple occasions in the past), which sort of eats me up inside sometimes.
Surely if I stick up for rich people on the Internet I'll eventually get a sweet job offer from them, right?

No because unlike 20 years ago the price of rent has sky rocketed. I know people who were in an apartment back in 2016 that had 2 room mates all of them had to move back in with parents because once the rent increased even all three of could not make it work, all three had jobs and 40 hour work weeks.

The place they used to live is now empty too since no one could afford renting there.

I stayed at home until I could afford to buy a house which in the long run was the best option.

I wouldn't say considered a failure. But it is quite annoying listening to them talk about money. When the only bills they pay are for internet, insurance, and car payment, don't about how it shouldn't be tough for me to afford a trip somewhere for a few thousand dollars.
Hell, I work with someone who lives with his parents. He just paid cash for a new 60k truck, cause he has paid no real expenses for the last 25 years staying with his parents.
There is definitely a disconnect between people like that, and people who have to all these other life expenses since they don't have mom and dad paying for almost everything for them still.
this is the way the world works, if you wanna find some quality friends, you gotta wade through all the dicks first...

My problem isn't that I couldn't do what I wanted, It's that there's nothing I want to do.

I don't fight and wrestle with these impulses anymore. By now I realize that this isn't a phase I'm going through, that I'll one day snap out of. It's just who I am. I know that I'm not gonna be filled with regrets one day for not doing more with my life, so why not indulge my instinct to seclude myself?
