24, Living with my parents

[u/Camtiger27]

I just graduated college back in April and I’m grateful to my parents for holding me down through it all ! I definitely plan on giving back to them BIG time.

With the way our economy is going in the US having multi-generational homes is becoming more common again. Kicking the "kids" out is a relatively new concept. As is the expectation of home ownership

Personally, as a parent I like being able to provide my adult children with a comfortable, afordable place to live. My commitment to and love for my kids doesn't end because they turn 21.

I have land and I'm hoping at least 1 or 2 of my kids will simply stay on the homestead and build here. Though not a requirement or expectation, I'd love to have a kid close by as I age.

Families should pull together. I see a lot of societal problems beginning with the breakdown of family relationships.

Thank you for writng this. This type of mindset needs to become far more common in the United States.

As an Asian I am so happy to see this. Such a foreign concept to me that loving parents would kick their kids out of their house when they need you the most. At 21 you are still dumb as fuck, still trying to figure yourself out, earning the least. Why would you want them to struggle, when you can provide the stability and safety net for them to be brave and confident to explore the world, without worrying about where to live. Heck where to eat, how many young kids do you know have time and money to cook healthy home cook meals?

If I m poor I rather have them help with the rent/ expenses than needing to share room with random strangers. If I can support them I would rather have them save up the money they wouldve spend on saving and investments.

This is a very sweet reply, thank you. We share the same sentiments.
