Right..,the idea of being super independent and acting as if you don't need anyone is mostly an American thing. Living at home is not the worst idea in the world. As long as you are contributing and showing each other respect, then it's fine.

Many peoples from various (non-American/individualistic) cultures live with family. Often times, that reality only changes when one gets married. There’s nothing to prove to anyone. And you’re being pretty gracious by explaining your choice. The truth is: if you’ve got the support & inclination, you could/should stay with your parents for as long as you like. Viewers should view & change the channel as their viewing needs dictate 🤦🏽‍♀️ Enjoy your parents, YOUR HOME with them, and this new season of your life 💝🥂

I had to move back in with my parents at 28. With a 2 year old. 13 years later, I own the house next door to them. Having a place where you can always land is a privilege and nothing to be ashamed of. I hope to be able to do the same thing for my Kiddo.

I’m glad to hear you share your experience. I’m currently doing the same thing at the moment. I’m from STL and originally moved to Dallas for almost 8yrs and decided last May I wanted a change so I up and moved to uptown, Chicago.I overall loved the city but my apartment was an overwhelming bad experience. Not knowing the apartment hunting culture well I wasn’t aware of the option to be asked to move out if they don’t want to complete repairs so I moved suddenly and my aunt blessed me with the opportunity to move in with her to save (rent free) to help build myself more financial freedom so that I can be prepared to find something new wherever I decide to go next and for my future. I didn’t realize how much I appreciated being around family. It’s amazing and although a humbling experience I can see the bigger picture overall.

Oh my goodness. I just moved back home and my childhood room was converted into an office as well. 😅 It has definitely been an ADJUSTMENT living with my mother but I am trying to appreciate and grow in this season. Save those coins, girl and when it is time to move on, you will. 😊 Tfs

You are playing it smart. Your parents are truly a blessing to allow you to stay with them and save money. You can save to actually purchase the home and furniture and have a cushion. That is truly playing smart, and being patient truly is a virtue.❤😊

Thank you, it truly is!

I moved in with my aunt (next door to my parents) for a year to save money before I purchased my home. Family who supports you is such a blessing. And now I tell my kids that they always have a home with us. My cousin, her husband and daughter moved in with her mom for a year to save for their home as well. Now they’re able to do the same for their own family. Our daughter has moved in with my mom for the same reasons. It’s a win win because my mom was alone. My dad has passed away. So they’re together and loving it. My mom is going to miss her a lot when she does move. It’s a beautiful thing. We should normalize this practice. Not everyone has family to depend on. So if you do, enjoy it❤❤❤

I love this! Watching you, i can see you are family orientated & that is a blessing in itself- Unfortunately our parents will not be around forever, enjoy this time with them 🙏🏽

Hey Paige, Your parents is so amazing and just such blessing, that right just save money as long as you can keep focus and dwell in God grace. Me and you are kind of following the same direction. After my son graduated from high school and move on. I am a truck driver so I went on the road and I begin understand I could save money by living in my truck and I have been living in truck for 2yrs now and I am able to not only save a great deal of money but able to do the things that I love doing and not worry about none of it. In these times we are living in US I know people are struggling trying to make ends meets due to increase in rent/housing cost and inflation. I know God is moving in the blessings for me and you and others who are focus on him. So stay on God and he will give you the desire of your heart. Be encouraged and unmoved and stay focused on God.

I’m doing the same thing right now with my son, he moved out and was gone for three years but when I started having health issues and had to have surgery, I asked my son if he could move back home to help me and he did. I also told him that it was rent free and he could save his money for the future, it’s been a blessing for me and him, he’s also in his late thirties.👋🏽❤

A lot of us move back in with parents at some point. It's a safe haven. If you get on with your family then being able to live with them is a blessing. (And rent free, damn that's good). Cherish every moment. But don't get too comfortable!

we have a similar story, I moved out of my parents in Ireland and decided to move back to the uk, 4 years later and im having thoughts of moving back. living in the uk is exceptionally difficult, way too expensive and its not even worth the stress England is so miserable 😭

Paige I get it. I was much older than you when I moved back home after living in Georgia. Initially I was happy to be back, spending time with my Dad and Mom. Our house was large but there was others in addition to my parents living there so it eventually got old. I needed my space because I have always valued my alone space .I believed from my first job that I must give GOD his and pay myself second. I had savings when I moved back but it took me 3 years because I was not favored to live rent free. That was one of the conditions my parents gave me. I still saved a lot because I for went everything else including a vehicle. I moved and never moved back. Your very creative so there is other content outside of moving.

I felt the same way when I left home after graduating from College. I'm out, I'm gone. Never ever did I think I would need to move back home and then at 30, I got sick and it made sense to move home. What was only supposed to be 1 year turned into 3 1/2 years and I'm so grateful that I had a home to come back to. Stay as long as you need. Now that I've moved out again, these rent prices are ridiculous. I much rather be spending money on my mortgage than paying somebody else's.

Im 30 and I moved back with my parents too. I felt like I was just throwing away money with how expensive apartments were and I was also working remote plus doing online school. The only reason I moved out was to be close to the city but I can’t remember the last time I went out because of how busy my schedule got. When I told my parents I wanted to move back it was an instant yes and they were so happy because sometimes they needed help around the house and just navigating the world because they are getting older. I also think it’s a cultural thing because in my culture living with your parents past 18 is normal and not something to be ashamed of. Great video !

Hi, Paige. 😊 It probably doesn't feel like it at this time, but you are WAY ahead of the 8 ball - by way of re-establising your independence and in life. This is not a setback, but just a rest stop as you re-establish some essentials. Maintain the energy and your focus, and you'll exceed your expectations.

Don't feel bad.Wish I had my beloved parents to live with them and take care of them at 31 or 50. I loved my parents so much.

Best plan ever stay home as long as possible and save, save, save. My daughter is home and has managed to save several months of income. I told my daughter to save two years income before moving out. Emergency money and a savings is a must.

You have such a big following I though the cheques coming in for KZread would've had you sorted. That just me assuming though. But it's nothing wrong with living at home. I've lived with my parents my entire life and i'm 34. Your an unmarried female with no kids this is the standard we are much better off in the long run because we have stable parents to guide us.

❤❤❤❤

Hi Paige! Firstly, I love this vid girl. This is SO relatable. Secondly, I just want to encourage you can you can do this!!! I just went thru almost nearly the same thing under different circumstances and have to move back home with my mother in Chicago to recover during a hard times, after living in California for several years. I did the painful wait of saving for more than a year and now I'm back where I want to be and living alone in another state. It can be done, and the time can go by just like that too!
