Pedestrian Question - Do You Still Live with Your Parents?

[@marcihf9763]

I live with my parents. They are elderly and I do the cleaning, laundry, run errands for them, read the mail and make sure they don't get scammed, go get their meds for them, etc. I also help pay for groceries, household items, etc. Not everyone who lives with their parents is a lazy leach.

[@mackenziebolton4780]

Not necessarily. I live at home still and I’m going to grad school. My parents don’t want me to pay rent or food or anything because they want me to save up ALL of my money so that when I do move out, I have a very nice and comfortable savings account (or the start for a downpayment on a house).

@Oscar Asso'o well, they are just over protective. It does get too much to bare sometimes, tbh. However, there's an escape. Just like Navjot Singh said in the above mentioned comment, you can try and get into a college far away from your home town and for educational purposes most parents will allow you to move into a hostel or PG or maybe even a rented flat. Then you can land a job in some other city as well. Escape.

African parents NEVER want their kids to leave home. This is mostly a western thing. Also, living with your parents doesn't mean you're lazy. They're people who have jobs that still live with their parents. My parents would do ANYTHING to get me to live and stay with them forever. LOL.

[@KennyakaTI]

This is true. I am Nigerian and they were upset that I moved out. Im 24 lol. Nothing wrong with living with your parents but I felt like I was never going to grow if I didn't move out. I have a decent job so I can pay my bills on time and still save.

[@SpicyNoodles12]

There’s nothing wrong with living with your parents but it becomes a problem when they do nothing to help with bills or anything

[@etamlous]

It's not even a universal Western thing because in many European countries adult children still live with families and it's socially accepted norm.

[@esther_osaade]

Kenny aka TI I'm glad you moved out. I'm Nigerian too, moved out at 23 when I returned from NYSC (national service) and had to go for my Masters. Never returned to live in except on public holidays or when I have to check their supplies or just checking on them when we miss each other. I moved out because I realized I needed to grow.

[@Squalla1]

I'd say it's sort of a socioeconomic thing. I've noticed that Latin families are more tolerant to their children sticking around, and I know from living in a Latin country with shitty economy that children tend to stick around longer when it's hard to get a job that pays well enough to maintain oneself. In any case, merely helping with bills, as many are mentioning, doesn't teach a lot of skills and responsibilities an adult is expected to have. And a lot of parents want their children to eventually grown into independent adults, if not necessarily move out-it's just that moving out is what commonly drives young adults into independence.

[@debbiecooper1677]

So no need to be racist when u wanna put forward how u find something weird. Disrespect towards ur own parents or taking money from them to care for them when they took care of u free of charge when u were their baby is what I pointed out

[@funkyfiss]

@calendarphotoscamera1 Canuck Housing was expensive a decade ago too. Most of us did leave for college. But with debts and the increasing costs its just not that easy or simple. Housing since the 90s has gone up seven fold. It didn't even drop during the financial crisis if 2008.

[@funkyfiss]

@calendarphotoscamera1 Canuck I don't understand your logic. You acknowledge the problems that exist but still turn around and act surprised. Your not putting 2 and 2 together.

[@funkyfiss]

@calendarphotoscamera1 Canuck No one should use their parents over this reason. With that I totally agree with you. But looking down on people who still live with their parents is very shallow. There are many reasons why someone would stay. I am only pointing out one reason. And that is the housing market is way too expensive.

[@1412Bunny]

[@pedacito2814]

[@jaydel3]

peda cito To most cultures around the world, family=life. Think about it, when you get old your children takes care of you. Then when grandchildren comes, the grandparents become glad unpaid babysitters. It makes sense economically and socially, but in the West individualism is promoted. So you can be broke, lonely, and struggling paycheck to paycheck and that is seen as "better" than living with the people you love. Of course there are exceptions ie toxic relationships and moochers like this guy.

[@1412Bunny]

Western viewpoint: The kids ideally should move out at age 18 and must move out of parents place by age 30. If they don't move out then the kid must pay rent to parents or else the parents will call the cops to evict the son. Eastern (Asian) viewpoint: The kid/(s) and the children of the kid/(s) can live at the parents house for as long as they wish. The daughter obviously would be married to another household and live with her husband and the parents-in-law. The son would marry and his wife would move in to live with him and his parents. 30-40 years later: Westerners: The elderly couple retires, sells their house and moves to a resthome and survives from govt. funded superannuation for the rest of their lives. Their children & grandchildren might visit them once in a while but does not live with them. Easterners: The elderly couple retires and continues to live with their children (usually their eldest son & his family). The children provide all the food, clothing and other necessities to look after their parents for the rest of their lives. No moving to a resthome is required, nor does the house need to be sold. Postscript: Not all western countries have such policies and in some countries (eg. Spain, Italy, Latin America, Greece, Bulgaria...) the children can continue living with parents or vice versa.

Jimmy is 50 years old and the cost of living was way lower when he was 19. There were more job opportunities and college didn't cost as much.

I've been out of college for a year and still haven't been able to get full time work despite being an honor student, having prior work and internship experience, and applying every day. I am now forced to move in with my mom because I only have $297 in my bank account. Believe it or not, most people who live with their parents as adults have no choice because of this lousy economy. Stop shaming them for things beyond their control. I've been a fan of the show for years, but this makes me reconsider.

He gets upset on this show when there are mass shootings, but those incidents are related to mental health. To improve mental health we all need to treat each other better, but here is a segment asking us to guess who is a loser on appearance alone, and when they reveal their age the audience howls. I don't think there is enough affordable housing for every person of an adult age to be independent and owning a separate house from all their other adult family members. An increasing amount of people will belong to one of two groups: either living independently but struggling to pay the bills and dealing with stress, or staying at home but called names like manchild, human trash and dealing with depression. The system doesn't allow every person to get a high paying job and comfortably afford housing because there are only so many opportunities. Inequality and poor treatment of the poor can cause rifts and violent backlash.

In the 70s it cost people like one annual payment. (I call it annual payment because I do not know the actual name for the money you get all in all each year.)

You can work 40 hours a week and easily still not have enough money to move out. You really need to be making at least 50k a year and even that's living very tight. You'll have nothing at the end of the month.

[@Novaximus]

I guess it depends on where you live. I live in New Jersey. Just on average prop taxes + Mortgage interest rate of 4% + water + electricity + insurance + gas/oil + trash pickup + Septic + Cable (I would seriously argue the necessity of this "utility" in 2018 but ok...) - cable These alone are costs you will pay with NOTHING to show for at the end of the month. It's literally money out the window and this figure easily adds up to about 900 bucks. Now lets add in the actual equity of a home and let's go cheap....400 bucks per month. Now Food, ok you live on pot noodles and pb&J ...200 per month. Now let's not forget you most likely have a cell phone, car, car insurance, gas for the car, yearly registration renewals, regular maintenance, the occasion new shirt and socks and mothers day gift....300 + easy Let's add all of this up.....drum roll please..... 1,800k PER MONTH. Tada! So you have to CLEAR about 2K a month with your paycheck. Most people have deductions of Taxes, Health Care, maybe even 10% to a retirement fund. You're talking 50k salary to clear about 2k a month. That's just keeping your head above water. Sure you can rent, but that just drops your costs about 400 per month and over time rent increases. You gain no equity and you can't work forever. This is the Average American situation. oh! not to mention you'll need a savings of 25k for a down payment. So when a rich well to do person like a host of a talk show or a news anchor cynically snarks...."You're 20 - 30 years old living at home, what's wrong with you?" They ignorantly assume that it's because you're not working your 40 hours a week. Which many many many Americans do and then some but don't get paid any where near 50k a year. Drive around and what do you see in America....McD's, a nail salon, maybe a Home Depot. These are the "American Opprotunities" for employement. You're not going to make 50k a year busting your ass at a Walmart or a Gas Station. Blue Collar jobs are extremely tough. White collar jobs are extremely rare. So many Americans find themselves working 2 or 3 part time jobs. Or trying independent gigs like Uber and Internet selling. American Wages Suck. In my opinion it's because our country has become a "service" country. We don't produce anything anymore. The allocation of wealth is very unbalanced when factoring in the worth of some ones time and effort. I think one answer to this problem is having more high tech industry jobs where Americans can spend 3 or 4 months in a learning program tech school to specifically fill the need of these jobs. College doesn't work very well and most feel as if they missed that train there's no getting back on. It's expensive, risky time consuming and doesn't pay out for years.

Within 2-5 years you'll be making $14 an hour + with no degree but you have to start working and building your skills. If this guy is only employable at minimum wage at 30, let's be honest, he's been incredibly lazy his entire life. Most people start working before they even graduate High School.

I would rather live with my parents and help pay the bills than get a house I can't afford to pay off because I'm in my 20s, just graduated and only got an average job. There should be no shame in living with your parents so long as you're pulling your own share of the load and not just freeloading off them for granted. Edit: I'm not speaking up for solely the people interviewed in this video. I'm talking about those in general who live with their parents. Some people work very hard, struggle a lot, and still can't climb up the social ladder because of things, which they may have no control over, screwing them over. And they would still be looked down upon for living with their parents by those who don't know that person's circumstances. The typical reaction of a 30 yr old admitting that he/she still lives with their parents is embarrassment because they know society frowns down upon it. Is that 30 yr old married? When did they finish school? What's their job? Debts? What is that person's reasons? And yes, I know this video targets those who barely do anything in their lives and more so choose to live with their parents to free load off them like that. Again, I'm speaking for those in GENERAL who live with their parents. I don't have thousands of friends but I like to think many people still living with their parents have very good reasons for doing so and also try to pull their share of the load.

[@TSShay]

Naomi I agree. When I was 19 my parents divorced. I stayed at home with my mom and help with payments now that my dad is gone. Neither of us see the point of me moving out. We each pay 50% of the bills/expenses. If I move out we each then have to pay 100% of our own bills. What's the point in that? It's a waste of money.

eddieisfiction My sister is about to reach her 30s and still not done with her education. It really depends on the circumstances.

[@NaomiTCOOKIES]

eddieisfiction Living in LA, I've learned not to judge people by their appearances. I've seen a man walk into a fast food joint looking like he works as a Hollister window model but it turns out he's a doctor. Met a guy who looks and acts like a frat boy but is a registered nurse. I wish these people interviewed here were allowed to explain why they live with their parents. Whether they have to because housing in LA costs too much for a 30 year old who maybe has been working an average job for 6ish years or they simply choose to. That said, I'm not speaking for the people specifically in this video. But there are many from the baby boomer generation who had better opportunities to buy their own houses at a young enough age and there's the old Western concept of doing just that. Buying your American dream house while fresh and young and starting a happy family in your 20s-30s. I grew up in San Jose, one of the most expensive cities in the U.S., and if you're an unmarried 30 yr old with a stable but average job it is still very difficult to get your own house since it's Silicon Valley. You could get a cramped apartment if you want to stay close to where the jobs are.

His parents were right to kick his lazy ass out since it's the only thing that will light a fire up under him.

Had he started working in High School like most people he'd be earning at least $35,000, but more likely $60,000 - $100,000+ per year by 30 - with or without a degree.
