[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in a place where housing is extremely expensive and culturally people take care of their seniors so intergenerational living is the norm.

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.[/quote]

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![/quote]

Actually young adults with parents from joint family cultures are more likely to not take advantage of saving money by living with parents because they don't want people judging them. My 22-32 nieces and nephews buy/rent and maintain their own places even if they hang out at family homes half of the time if they aren't at work, gym, asleep or socializing.[/quote]

Living in Multigenerational homes is a lot more than just saving money, that's why many do not want to follow these old generational "traditions"...
