Yeah I agree with what you're saying. Though the point about living with parents might be more that in a lot of countries in Europe its still very normal to live with parents when you get married and have kids etc, to have multi generation households, living with grandparents etc. I don't think I could do it but it must be pretty good for childcare. In the UK childcare is so expensive and it's unusual to live with grandparents so a lot less possibility for people to afford to have a child
Sure, but here it's not unusual even after marriage as someone already mentioned above.same with collectivist countries, it’s totally expected to stay at home until marriage. It’s really a western thing, may Even be able to limit to the U.K. & US
It depends on the family, we currently have 3 generations living in one house and it works because of our general lifestyle (parents are away a lot etc.).
It also works because they can easily afford to maintain it and at the moment we do not contribute nor would they take it.
I consider myself very very lucky and this also might be the reason I am bad with money - I always had a safety net. And one day this will end and I'll be struggling.
So according to Grace's logic I am the perfect person to give lifestyle & money advice online. Now just let me set up that Youtube account and call Penguin Books...
Sorry for steering away from main topics.
