This isn't normal by US standards. She clearly thinks she will stay there forever. The question is are you okay with this? Or would you like her to move out? Most US parents expect their kids to move out and create a life of their own.

Fine in some cultures. Not fine for me. I raise my kids to get the heck out of my house at 20.
I'd get them an apartment.

In many countries with housing crises, adults do live at home with their parents for many years. However, this doesn't mean they're not dating! Often they move out when they get married.

Your daughter could have a neurodivergent profile, such as high-functioning autism (with the social and attention issues that come with it) and that is what's contributing to her atypical life choices.

I mention this because I have several relatives, including my own son, with an ASD/ADHD/anxiety profile. They don't mind living at home, they don't mind not dating. There's nothing "wrong" with being like this. It's just a different sort of life.

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...

It wouldn't be normal for someone 26, let alone 36. One's window to find long term friends, romance, spouse and children often closes after 40.

This happens to many, in their 20's when they can find partners, people tell them to move on and not commit until 30's, after a decade same people ask why they don't have partners yet.

I wouldn't say it's the normal route most adults take, but if the parents she lives with don't mind, I don't see any issues with it.

Not having any friends is more strange than not having a romantic partner. But again, by 36 she is a full fledged adult.

*save

If she likes to safe money, she should tey to increase her earnings by changing career or starting a side gig, change and money can connect her to new social opportunities as well.

She sounds depressed

Encourage her to join gym, take a course, travel, go on a dating/matrimonial app etc. While its harmless and safe to just live at home and avoid taking any financial or logistical responsibility but this inertia is unhealthy for a young person. Don't let life to pass her by.

What a dumb response.

If she has no desire for any friends or to spend money on anything (no wants at all?) that’s the weirder part.

Yes. It is normal for family to stay together. She should contribute some amount for utilities and groceries if that is a concern, or contribute to outsource chores. other than that, it is fine to stay at home.


if she is happy to be single than there is no problem. if she is depressed, overweight, whiny, addict etc, then she should go to a therapist.

60k is a very decent and normal salary. good that she is living with you to economize and get the protection and companionship of her family home.

No, and $60k is not good money for someone who is 36. Tell her she has until Jan 1 to find a new place.
