Good question.

Girl is probably sitting on millions in crypto and uses $60k job for health insurnce. Waiting to cash out

OP nevers says no friends,
or whether rich or how they know the young lady's plans. I mean the girl could meet someone today, have two kids by 40

STOP encouraging weird people to reproduce children. Society is already dysfunctional.

It’s not normal.

The younger generational singles contribute and help take care of the household and elderly and nieces/nephews, etc. They have friends and travel and volunteer and have hobbies.

So I'd say it's okay if the 36 year old is mature and participating in life like one would expect. If they are living at home but still behaving like a teenager and being taken care of, then no, that isn't typical.

I guess OP is not part of your "culture" so no, not normal for a 36yr. old to live at home.

I'm surprised you are living somewhere "very expensive" and still trying to maintain those old generational norms...

We broke those barriers, when we came to US!

When my immigrant relatives came here, they continued the "old generational norms." LOL that you think people here don't do this. How provincial.

It's also sad that you view toughing it out on your own, w/o family support in home or nearby, as some sort of badge of honor. (Which, to be clear, I've done that for reasons that are no one's business, frankly. It's not).

A family who lives in my neighborhood is multigenerational Hispanic. Had the adults in the home moved out and bought their own places, back in 2016 when we first moved here, they’d be much further ahead considering what real estate has done.

The could afford it, at least some of them.

Now they are all living in a house that is getting more and more cramped because their extended family and friends from back home keep trickling in.

Chain migration. It works.

Oh well, uncle Jim is still living at home. Oh he’s helping his now elderly parents out. Yeah.

Nevermind that his mother still does all the cooking, cleaning, appointments, his taxes from freelancing, buys him stuff and even rental properties.

Agree, I work with a guy who is almost 30 and lives with his parents and has no plans to move out. He says, "Why move out, my parents don't bother me and I'm saving all my money".

He brings to work lunch his mom prepares for him everyday. He also drives his mom's old SUV. Doesn't date, doesn't go out. etc. He for sure is an odd character, smart/college grad but still a bit creepy.

Works and makes okay money about 60,000 a year, but she just doesn't want to spend any money and want to save it all...

Making 60K a year and living at home, you should require she saves at least 50K a year. Once she gets a few hundred K, she can retire and buy her own place.

With the direction the country is going the last few years, and unseen inflation and immigration, yes, it will become the norm.

But it is not all bad. Families will be closer as a result.

Cool. Like the olden days and corrupt emerging markets. Everyone for himself!!

Maybe explain to her how investing in a home or condo for herself at a young age is a great way to save, build up her savings. Look in an area where are other young singles, active street life. Another suggestion - if she has any ability to run, play tennis or the like, get her out and physically active; is a good way to meet new people, feel better about herself, feel more optimistic.

Yep, can actually be good for society. Closer families helping each other rather than spread out and isolated or being burdens on society.

Omg it’s so hit & miss being chained to your family, their town, their house. And if it is a large family there are always one or two Bad Agents.

How about for a 32 year old?

Like all things in life, it depends.

Stupid to have a rule that adult kids should not share a home and time with parents.

Some people don’t want to be alone. Some parents and their adult kids get along really well.

If it works for them, butt out

I have a friend who got divorced at 61 and did not want her adult son to move out of her home. It was her second marriage. She has guilted him to continue living with her.

I know he wants to move out but she cooks and cleans and kind of stunts his growth. He is 26 never went to college.
