I’m 31 btw. I had a terrible home growing up and mom kicked me and my sister out and one of my brothers ran away :/
BUT
My friend and their partner live with their partner’s parents and grandma and I love visiting because their home is so full of love! My friend and their partner are both 30. Multi-generational households are beautiful if the family is emotionally healthy, and I think this should be common in our culture without a sense of shame or feeling lazy/poor.

late 20s and thriving honestly because I moved back to my parents. no debt, no rent, no cooking. I just go to work, relax, and then work on myself and my business
my relationship with my parents improved so much as I got older. I think when they start respecting you as equally as you respect them, it’s always going to be good.
plus check out their backyard. they got hammocks

Ive never ever lived with a man and that’s honestly so epic. The concept of together parents is as alien to me as people imagining their parents getting a divorce…
My mom is brave and strong and had the incredible foresight to just do it alone instead of giving me a bad home environment or making me have to process the weight of divorce as an older child. Shoutout my mom
Being a single mom in suburban white America in the early 2000s is kinda rad She’s also a chef which is a really cool too

🏠in this economy i simply can't afford to move out... i make decent money at my current job and i still literally just can't afford rent. i love my mom and i'm grateful that i can live rent free with her but omg sometimes i'm so over it. at the same time i know that when i move out i'm gonna cry because i'll never be able to go back to the way things used to be even though that's a good thing. i just try to focus on each day as its own thing and not think too much about the future. i spend a lot of time either in my room or outside of the house like reading by the lake or walking so i have some alone time. when i was in college (still lived at home at the time bc i went to college 15 min away from my house) i would have friends over for sleepovers and they thought it was so fun that i still lived with my mom so a lot of my anxiety about it was assuaged by that

📍Log off Amazon prime and step into the real world. Go to a local physical store in your community. Look your neighbor in the eye and put money in their hand.
Go to a local venue and hear what musicians in your community are creating. Talk to them about it afterwards. Buy a T-shirt or cd or whatever they’re selling, they’ll make more money from that than from thousands of streams. Seriously, Spotify pays a fraction of a penny per stream.
Forget about Starbucks. Check out a local coffee shop instead. Learn your barista’s name and tip them.
Go to your local book store and library. Look around and see what book covers catch your eye. Ask employees for recommendations instead of just reading whatever’s trending on #booktok.
Go to your local museums, farmers market, theaters, restaurants, whatever your community has going on.
When you go local, you see your community in a new way. You make friends and feel more connected to the people around you.
You will discover new things organically instead of relying on an algorithm. You keep your money circulating in your community instead of making billionaires richer. You will have a greater appreciation for where you live.
P.S. Pay In Cash
