https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rPPipsbhn0Aged 34, GRADUATED THREE TIMES, STILL A VIRGIN TRAPPED IN MY MOMS HOUSE

After my last post about living with my crazy mom i thought i should share t this video on youtube . I respect this Scottish guy for having the b~~~~ to show his face infront of the world and proclaim that he is in his mid 30s and cant find a way out his parents house.

I live on the southern tip of Africa but no matter where we are in the world im sure many Millenial men can relate to this even though most of us would never admit openly that we are adults living with parents. Mass male unemployment seems to be a global pandemic amongst our generation but what is the solution, the gig economy? Is living with ur parents after ur late 20s still something to be ashamed about seeing as though its becoming the norm?

I’m not sure it’s something to be ashamed of. I bought my house in my 20s, although that was through a combination of saving hard, working long hours, buying a house that nobody wanted to take in and (at that moment in time) low house prices (early 2000s). I was lucky. That being said, I’ve nearly lost the house at least three times. I’ve experienced homelessness in my life twice, so the last thing I would want is to end up on the streets again.

There are still people that I know in their 30s and 40s that live at the parental home due economic necessity, esp as here in the UK housing is so bloody expensive now. I don’t think the “Gig” economy is the way forward. The way forward is job security, decent wages, investment and growth.

Back in the day 3 generations would live under one roof.
Old folks were looked after, rather than dropped off at a home.

I think the days of multigenerational households are returning anyway. The post war blip was an anomaly.

But wouldn’t that require a big house with many bedrooms, bathrooms etc therefore a lot of money or will there be cramped family homes with people sleeping in the living room for people who cant afford the big houses?

And what about privacy?

not necessarily. My area is high cost of living, low income. There’s tons of families being supported by people with close to minimum wage jobs. 8 – 15 people living in a standard 3br/2.5ba house aint that uncommon. As far as apartments and condos, packing 2-4 people into a 1-2br is common as well.

I’m 26 and I’m still stuck at home. A friend of mine was kicked out at 18 and he’s scraping by. He’s a year older than me and his apartment still doesn’t have furniture.

There is your solution right there….move in with your friend and split the bills. The best way for people in their twenties, who do not make over 25K a year, to live away from their parents, is to co-habitate with their friends (not women).

I didn’t have my own apartment until I was 27 but I was fortunate in that I never had to live with my parents except for 2 years in my mid twenties. I joined the Marines right out of highschool so I lived in a barracks for almost 3 years. Then, after being discharged, I briefly lived at home again but finally found a way out….rooming with friends.

Be sure to choose friends that actually have stable jobs and who are not alcoholics… The more the better because if one drops, the others can pick up the slack. I rented a house with 4 people.
The second you can start saving for a down payment on a small condo, the better. Having your own apartment is great but its also costly, leasing is throwing money down the drain. Save $10,000 and buy a condo, establish a mortagege, do not be a lifelong renter who has nothing to show for it.

It all starts with identifying decent friends of yours and all of you rent a house together. Then, start aggressively saving for the down payment on a small condo, like 600 square feet that YOU own.
