[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD wanted to move out, she has a good paying job and a good career in tech.  But, we encouraged her to save her money and continue staying with us. Marriage is on the cards soon, and we do not want her to walk into her marriage broke. [/quote]

Women I know who moved from their parents house to a joint marital house regret it deeply.  It made a few stay in marriages for too long bc they were afraid of living alone, and even those with happy marriages missed the independence.   Some things are worth paying for.  [/quote]

I did that. I moved to a group house for about a year and it sucked so I moved back home, save the money and moved in with my husband after marriage.  I did not miss out on anything and it was nice to have the money.[/quote]

Ha ha! My college-going DC, (30 minutes away, super social, rooming with a friend, excelling at school)  came home for the weekend.  He mentioned that he won't mind commuting from home because he misses his bed, his bathroom and all the delicious home cooked food.

So there are perfectly well adjusted kids who are fine being home. It is normal around the world and it is now very normal in USA. Nearly a third of Gen Z  are living at home with their parents.

[i]This year’s rapid inflation rates have meant higher prices for virtually everything, including rent, food and even partying. So what comes next may not be much of a surprise: Nearly a third of Americans between the ages of 18 and 25 — part of what is collectively known as Gen Z — live at home with their parents or other relatives, according to a new study, and they considered it a long-term housing solution.

The analysis comes courtesy of Credit Karma,  a personal finance platform, which surveyed 1,022 young adults in the United States online between June 10 and June 15 of this year.

From the very beginning of the pandemic, flocks of young Americans were moving back home. A 2020 analysis from Zillow found that about 2.7 million adults in the United States moved in with a parent or grandparent in March and April of that year.[/i][/quote]

I stayed till I married.  Saved enough for a down payment on a house.  I hope mine come back and live with us to save. [/quote]
