When things went south with the boyfriend, she moved out, but it turned out he had funded the entire home purchase on his own so didn’t have to buy her out or anything along those lines. I am not sure if it is for financial reasons or just figuring out what’s next but she is back with her parents.

You know two 33 year olds that are over 35 and living with their parents? Neat trick!

I see the numbers of people in their 20s is very high, but don't see much numbers of people over 35+ are they moving out ?


That's a very traditional thing to do. Families add on to houses, or build more in close proximity, or simply make do with living all under one roof.

It's how generational wealth is built.

Sending kids out at 18 to rent, spend, and get into debt is asinine and mostly uniquely North American in nature.


Yeah, it’s really not how generational wealth is built and was the traditional thing to do when the average American’s net worth was much lower than the average European before WWII.

I know a 40s couple that built a little multi-generational compound so parents could live there but in their own place. It is great for the grandparents to help with childcare and the kids to help parents as they age.

However, I don’t see this as 40 year olds living with their parents.

That's also how generational trauma, codependency and blurred boundaries are built.

My nephew. I think he has some SN/LD and had a hard time finding a job after college. He finally got one, but the pay is super low, and he has loans. They live in a hcol. Mom is single.

I only know one person - a 50 year-old Korean woman who has always lived with her parents. She works in finance and never married and I think they all like the arrangement. At this point, she is the one taking care of them.

I have two relatives in this category.
One is taking care of the 10 acre farm because his parents are getting too old. He also has a WFH job. He left for several years and then came back.
Another has lived in the parents'home forever even now, married, with children. Cultural difference that my relative married into. My relative LIKES it because she gets to live in a beautiful house with free babysitting and never has to cook or clean. If they tried to move out the parents would lose it.

The 35 year olds I know that live at home are there because one parent has medical issues and they are helping with those. For the most part, it is a win-win.

I doubt people do it out of ignorance. Sometimes DCUM is used for live poster community reviewed studies.

My BIL solved this by giving his son an apartment to live in. Life is so much easier when there's money to solve pesky little issues...
