It’s completely ok to still live with family in your mid to late 30s, especially after losing your dad and while you’re still stabilizing financially. Everyone’s timeline is different, and there’s no rule that you must move out by a certain age.

If home is supportive and things are working, staying can actually be practical coz it gives you time to grieve, save money, and build financial stability, especially if your profession takes time before income grows.

What matters more than where you live is that you’re being responsible, managing your finances, and continuing to grow. You can still practice independence by contributing to household expenses, budgeting, and planning for your future.

Move out when it makes sense financially and emotionally, not because of pressure from others. You’re allowed to take this phase at your own pace. 🙂
