I know he wants to move out but she cooks and cleans and kind of stunts his growth. He is 26 never went to college.

Cool. Like the olden days.

Yep, can actually be good for society. Closer families helping each other rather than spread out and isolated or being burdens on society.

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...

Oh well, uncle Jim is still living at home. Oh he’s helping his now elderly parents out. Yeah.

Nevermind that his mother still does all the cooking, cleaning, appointments, his taxes from freelancing, buys him stuff and even rental properties.

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.

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!

When my immigrant relatives came here, they continued the "old generational norms." LOL that you think people here don't do this. How provincial.

It's also sad that you view toughing it out on your own, w/o family support in home or nearby, as some sort of badge of honor. (Which, to be clear, I've done that for reasons that are no one's business, frankly. It's not).

A family who lives in my neighborhood is multigenerational Hispanic. Had the adults in the home moved out and bought their own places, back in 2016 when we first moved here, they’d be much further ahead considering what real estate has done.

The could afford it, at least some of them.

Now they are all living in a house that is getting more and more cramped because their extended family and friends from back home keep trickling in.
