Living at home isn't embarrassing

A lot of zoomers seem to be embarrassed about living at home, I think society emphasizes "independence" way too much. I think families are meant to be close-knit, and even though you give up independence by living at home, you save so much money. It's not shameful at all, the government just wants us to be ashamed of it because they want everyone to be living alone so house prices go up

That’s how it should be in usa. In europe you can get benefits it’s easier to live alone.

@Ferise1 that's not entirely true. If a couple wants to live together, that can be unaffordable, forcing them to live separately instead. But that's not because there are bonus for doing so, but rather punishments for living together that are greater than the savings of sharing a household. Ideally the costs of living alone or together should be similar, but Europe hasn't mastered that either.

@Ferise1 no, you talked about benefits for living alone, which don't exist. Not in every European country anyway.
