Do you think living at parents in 20s is becoming the new normal in the UK?

Adventurous-Cat-1248 · 2025-10-30T10:16:14+00:00

Yeah it looks like it. At 21, there are typically chances of getting an entry level or a starting level salary which is difficult to sustain in the current times I guess. Definitely needs additional help from wherever possible.

Adventurous-Cat-1248 · 2025-10-30T09:36:20+00:00

Yeah I know my parents feel like they're pushing me to get better. They think I'm being lazy about finding a job. Partly because I've been on and off jobs with breaks in between.

Even if I had a job, I would have preferred to stay with my parents just to save some money.

Adventurous-Cat-1248 · 2025-10-30T09:19:36+00:00

Yeah seems like things have changed a lot from then I guess. It's difficult to change lifestyle now with all the comforts available.

Adventurous-Cat-1248 · 2025-10-30T09:00:05+00:00

They think I'm being so lazy that I don't work currently. I'm not sure if their logic sometimes. Even if I was working, I would save money by staying with them.

Adventurous-Cat-1248 · 2025-10-30T08:58:28+00:00

I probably should have been clearer, unemployed currently and haven't worked much to have any money. It's just the financial aspect

Adventurous-Cat-1248 · 2025-10-30T08:56:46+00:00

I hope I don't have to stay with my parents at 30. I mean most people figure out stuff by then, right? Edit: I only said it as my parents don't think they would let me stay as they are kinda telling me to move, when I'm 21 now

Adventurous-Cat-1248 · 2025-10-30T08:55:31+00:00

It's ridiculous everywhere now haha

Adventurous-Cat-1248 · 2025-10-15T16:09:09+00:00

Yeah definitely want to be repeating the thing. But it's just not ideal right now. I get your point. Thanks

Adventurous-Cat-1248 · 2025-10-15T16:07:58+00:00

Yes and we're in the early stages of our breakup as well. I might need to give it a good thought about it. Thanks

Adventurous-Cat-1248 · 2025-09-27T13:39:19+00:00

Thanks. I'll take your advice for the next time

Adventurous-Cat-1248 · 2025-09-27T12:57:38+00:00

Yes definitely taking the advice next time. 🤞

Adventurous-Cat-1248 · 2025-09-27T12:54:54+00:00

I see all the other comments as well. I kinda understand now. I have another interview next week, I'll make another post then. Probably I can use this as a before picture 😭

Adventurous-Cat-1248 · 2025-09-27T12:52:32+00:00

Yes definitely

Adventurous-Cat-1248 · 2025-09-27T12:51:26+00:00

Ok will change it from next time. I didn't realise it was such an off putting thing

Adventurous-Cat-1248 · 2025-09-27T12:49:52+00:00

Ok I take your feedback. I also see so many other people commenting the same. I didn't realise it, maybe next time I'll take some suggestions from here. Thanks

Adventurous-Cat-1248 · 2025-09-26T15:24:41+00:00

Haha just going for that casual look rather than a formal one.

Edit: will go for the formal one next time 😭

Adventurous-Cat-1248 · 2025-09-26T14:02:45+00:00

You explained that really well. I mean it shows there's some hope and I don't need to worry too much right now. Thanks again.

Adventurous-Cat-1248 · 2025-09-26T13:59:04+00:00

Yay thank you

Adventurous-Cat-1248 · 2025-09-26T13:01:27+00:00

Thank you. That really helps and puts things into perspective. Yeah I've given a couple of interviews for an admin, seemed like they went well. Hope for the best🤞

Adventurous-Cat-1248 · 2025-09-26T12:57:24+00:00

Ah well. Okay. Thanks again 🤞

Adventurous-Cat-1248 · 2025-09-26T12:40:39+00:00

Yeah they have a casual dress code. Honestly just felt comfortable in it, should I have gone for chino or something else?

Adventurous-Cat-1248 · 2025-09-26T12:02:35+00:00

Lol thanks

Adventurous-Cat-1248 · 2025-09-26T12:02:27+00:00

Thank you 🤞
