I did this in my mid twenties (31 now). There’s something to be said for formative experiences that you can’t get when still living at home. In my early twenties I lived in a few places around the world and it was an interesting experience. If you want to think of it like an investment, you can diversify the way you live when you’re young. Spend a few years living away from home and doing interesting things, and then spend the rest at home grinding and making money. The worst thing you can do is move out if you don’t have a real reason to move. You just become some landlord’s paypig because that’s the done thing.
I got made fun of for living at home by some bitch who got dumped by her rich boyfriend and had to move in to some random family’s outhouse. Bitch, you live in a shed and have to go into the house to use the toilet. Guarantee you she’s pissed in her sink a ton of times. It’s honestly true that living at home with your parents cucks you heavily. But at the end of the day I’ve got six figures and they don’t. It sets me up so I can take meaningful risks, which I’m starting to feel it’s time for and am planning for. What can they do? Nothing. They’ve got a few months of emergency fund money and that’s it. They’re stuck paying their landlord half their pay every month and in this economy they will never escape that trap. Even if they get a mortgage, they’re paying interest, taxes, maintenance costs for apartment buildings. Assuming they even have one kid, it’s not leaving any inheritance. They’re literally just hoping their own parents die so they can inherit what they have. Very independent.
