The idea that if you're still living at home that your parents are still taking care of you. That they still make your food, do you laundry, pay your bills, etc. there is also a stereotype that you're emotionally stunted since you haven't moved out and had to take care of yourself. This is often summarized in the neck beard living in his parents basement meme.
I'm not saying this is true, but that's the idea.
Thats what they sell you, the real reason is that people living with their parents are not spending money in the house market.
I assume you are American, and probably not Hispanic?
Because these assumptions are extremely cultural.
Anyways, for white Americans "Self-sufficiency" (or Self-reliance as Ralph Waldo Emmerson called an extreme version of it) is an old Puritan value, like hardwork and lifelong monogamy.
Multigenerational living is also a big thing in Asia.
Don't know why you're getting downvoted. You're not off base. My family is Hispanic and my mom would love it if I lived with her till I'm 40.
If you want to get to the heart of a terrible practice or belief, look at who is pushing it (not simply buying it) and who is benefiting. This is a very recent idea (like, you might still be able to find a grandma who was raised before that stupid shit took off) pushed to keep people poor and generally weaker than they otherwise would be. If you've got multiple generations, or even families, living together they have far more breathing room economically.
Because the last gen of parents struggle to let their kids grow up
Because then you can't yodel while fucking your girlfriend/boyfriend.
This is one reason "love hotels" are a thing in Japan where multi-generational living and/or thin walls are very common.
Well, you can... it'll just be really uncomfortable around the dinner table afterward.
In 10 years, that will be the norm.
For 58 years young people had enough income to support themselves fine, so living with your parents was due to either fear of being out on your own, laziness, or another dependency. All unattractive qualities.
I'm 23 and still living with my dad. Why wouldn't I take the deal to have no rent while I work full time at a decent job so I can pay off my student loans? Sounds stupid to move out at least for me right now
Because the people at the top who greenlight everything are rich and think anyone that would live with their family past the age of 18 is a lazy shit stain. That's the answer. It doesn't matter if it doesn't make a shred of sense, it's just the truth.
are you from east or southeast or south Asia
Yes
American culture values independence and individualism. The perception is that if you don't "move out" it's because you are dependent. If you decide to take care of your parents later, they move in with you and not the other way around.
In the US, wages were high enough that you could afford rent and a decent living as an unskilled laborer until fairly recently.
Also, if you lived with your parents you could not fuck. Even if your parents were not religious, it was a social value and they probably weren't cool with it. And your date probably wasn't cool with it wither, because it was weird.
It suggests they can't afford to pay rent. It's an old stereotype that is kind of redundant nowadays since (a) most people renting can't afford it anymore and (b) different cultures are way more accepting and even encouraged living with your family. Most people understand that now.
You still here the saying buts it's more about NEETs taking advantage of family rather than being smart
