    What is so bad about living with your parents? That’s still the norm in many parts of the world. For some reason western countries, and especially America, have exaggerated the benefits of being financially independent, as if shared resources were some kind of failure.

    I beg to differ. The only people who lose when we share resources are the capitalists.

    I’ve got a few friends in their thirties who live with their parents and the whole family is very happy. And although my kids are only six and three, I can’t imagine any reason why I wouldn’t want them to continue living in my house for as long as they needed support.

    We all need support. It’s not a shame. It’s an asset more valuable than property, imho.
