[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s harder to live at home in your 30s due to logistics. Parental homes tend to be in older parts of town, in older hoods, with fewer amenities and infrastructure. As your career grows into your 30s, you may find yourself wanting a better QOL, better commute, more green space, less crime, live in nicer part of town near other professionals, etc. Living in a poorly-located parental home can limit your options and personal growth.[/quote]

In DCUM, the boomers have all the nice real estate.  Younger generation cannot afford to buy homes. The grandparents home becomes the "family home", where all the birthday parties, holidays, childcare, pet sitting, hosting of house guests happen. [/quote]

Truer words never spoken. The Boomers have all the great real estate right now and the 30 somethings are looking at mega commutes or MUCH smaller and more expensive housing. In DCUMlandia at least. I'm in a neighborhood that would be very, very desirable to people in their 30s and I think the average age of homeowners is 60+. They bought 30 years ago for 300k and the homes are now 2million++. Some 30 somethings could swing that but not many. [/quote]

NP.  I hear ya.  Same.

It's sad. But where there's a will...

I still feel strongly that a person like a young adult ought to have a plan to stand up on their own 2 feet and leave the nest.  It's not the same as needing to return to care for family, needing help due to external circumstances, saving up in order to launch, etc.  but to not have a plan and exist as a 3rd wheel when you're in your 20s and esp if 35?! Yeah, there's something kinda unhealthy going on for sure!

Move to the damn country, move to another state.  Go get roommates.  Go live in an apt v a house and rent. So what if you rent forever.  At least you're in your own and financially independent.  You do not need to buy a house - you just need a place that is not with your parents as it is actually a sign of growth. Again, this is only if there's no extenuating circumstances and if you are simply returning that's different - it depends on your story then. [/quote]
