I know this one sounds crazy, but follow me here. When I was still living at home, my friends who'd moved out made fun of me. As it turns out, I was paying for all my own bills and doing my fair share at home. I found out my friends knew nothing about living on their own because their parents paid all the bills. It's more responsible to live at home than move out on your parents' dime. Show
As long as your parents are okay with it, there is nothing wrong with living with them after you're an adult. Ignore any supposed social taboos and just focus on creating a great life for yourself. Do you still live with your parents in your 20s? In 2016, 43% of 20–24 year olds were still living with their parents; compared to 1981, when 36% of 20–24 year olds were living with their parents. As young people get older, they are increasingly less likely to live at home. However they are choosing to leave home later. In 2016, 17% of 25–29 year olds and 7% of 30–35 year olds still lived at home. Whereas in 1981, the figures were 10% of 25–29 year olds and 4% of 30–35 year olds. Proportions of young people, by age, living with their parents: 1981–2016  Note: Persons living in parental home refer to those who were identified as dependent students or non-dependent children in families or households. Visitors were excluded. Differences between the sexesUp to the age of 34 years, more young men than young women continued to live with their parents. For example, among 25–29 year olds, 21% of young men were still at home, compared to 14% of young women. For 20–24 year olds, the increase in numbers has come mostly from young women choosing to live at home for longer. While the percentage of young men living at home only increased slightly between 1981 and 2016, for young women the numbers increased from 27% in 1981 to 39% in 2016. Proportions of young people, by age and gender, living with their parents: 1981–2016 Note: Persons living in parental home refer to those who were identified as dependent students or non-dependent children in families or households. Visitors were excluded from the total populations. City vs the countryYoung people living in greater capital cities were more likely than those living in regional areas to remain in the family home. For example, in 2016, 50% of young men and 43% of young women aged 20–24 and living in capital cities continued to live at home. In regional areas, only 42% of young men and 31% of young women still lived at home at the the same age. The differences between capital cities and regional areas lessen as young people get older, leaving only a small difference in numbers of 30–34 year-olds still living at home with their parents. Proportions of young people, by age and gender, living with their parents in greater capital cities and other areas: 2016

Comparing those born in Australia with those born overseasYoung people born in Australia are more likely to live with their parents than young people born overseas, particularly 20–24 year olds. For those born in Australia, across all three age groups, the data revealed that since 1981, increasing numbers are living with their parents past the age of 20. However, while overseas-born young people living at home rose between 1981 and 2001; from 2001 to 2011 the numbers living at home fell, and have remained low since. This fall is likely to reflect the booming international education market in Australia, and the greater numbers of international students. Proportions of young people living with their parents, Australian-born vs overseas-born: 1981–2016 Note: Persons living in parental home refer to those who were identified as dependent students or non-dependent children in families or households. Visitors were excluded from the total population. Comparing ethnic backgroundsCultural background influences the likelihood that a young person will live in the family home for longer. Among Australian-born young adults, those with Asian, Middle Eastern, African or Southern and Eastern European ancestry are more likely to live with their parents, compared to those with Australian, North-western European or New Zealand backgrounds. This trend applies to both young men and young women. At what age should you not live with your parents?Parents should allow their children, especially the male ones to stay alone if they wish to do so once they are at least 25 years old, provided they can take care of themselves. But it is imperative to know that there is no shame in staying with one's parents. Age has no role when it comes to living alone.
How long is it OK to live with your parents?It's safe to say that adults older than 30 should not be living at home with their parents unless they are caring for parents with declining health. By the time someone is 30, they should have had enough time to secure a job and save up enough to move out.
Is it normal to live with parents at 26?In fact, 26-year-olds are now more likely to live with a parent than a spouse, the study says. Due to skyrocketing college costs, and the millennial generation becoming saddled with student loan debt, marriage and families aren't something most people are thinking about at age 26.
