If you live in your parents' basement until they die...

...and you are, say, 50 when they do. What are you meant to do? Not many places would hire a 50 year old with no experience.

I was just curious because my friends brother is 24 and he's not planning on moving out anytime soon. What's gonna happen to people like him later on?

He might move out when he's 30, get a low paid job, live in a single room apartment from hand to mouth. (he wouldn't be the first or the last...)

Or he might stay in the house, take care of his parents until they die and after their death wait until his house will fall on his head if he won't learn how to take care of it. Then become homeless...

Or he can find another "mommy" to take care of him. 😐️

@Serena Not your problem though. Or is it? 😛 You're not going to live his life.

What's wrong with living at home with your parents as long as you are earning money and are contributing?

@Serena dang, unless he's making bank streaming. That's his life, unless his parents force him to change

@SW-User I suppose. I just wonder what would happen to people like him when he has to get a job when nobody else will look after him

@Serena probably end up working at a dead end entry level job, like a store or gas station. Eat out everyday since he probation won't cook and live in a messy apartment/house if he's not clean. Because if his parents don't take care of him, no one else will

He will most likely inherit the property and it's responsibilities. In that instance he can either keep the house and make it his own, or sell it to another family and collect the payment on the house as his own.

You should ask your brother what he wants to do with the place. Chances are he's tired of it and wants to sell it and get a place of his own, but probably can't afford it. Keep nudging him though.

@GohantheThird I can't really ask him because it will sound rude. And my friend doesn't let me go near the basement because her brother gets angry if you disturb him.

@Serena it would be rude even if he is your brother. Let the guy figure himself out. Chances are he has a personal issue he's dealing with.

If he has a job, his parents should say pay for the rent and food or get out.

@jackson55 he just plays video games all day :/

jackson55 · M

@Serena Reality will jump up and bite him on the ass one day. It will be a big surprise when it does. The big question is why does his parents let him get away with that?

Serena · F

@jackson55 not sure :(
