It honestly makes me so sad to see how people judge each other for living with their parents. I often read/contribute to r/PersonalFinance on Reddit the most common attitude there seems to be that people living with their pares stealing free rent.
Why is it so hard for people to believe that someone might just love their family and wish to spend a significant portion of their adult life enjoying and nurturing those relationships?
- willsmith72 4y agoAgreed it's no one's place to judge someone without knowing anything about their situation. In saying that, where I come from in Australia it's extremely normal to spend early 20s in the family home, and I was usually the one encouraging my friends to get out. Not that there was something wrong with their families, but at least in this culture, I could see my friends living in unhappy bubbles, surrounded by the same family/friends they'd been around since they were kids, feeling trapped. In those cases, getting out (different city, different country, at least different house) can be the best thing for people's personal development and even mental healths. My point is just that it can go both ways depending on the specific situation.
