the situation becomes even more shitty when you have abusive parents - a lot of young people have to choose between destroying their mental health just to barely survive or to relitigate childhood trauma and continue to endure abuse in an unsafe space. i'm 25 and virtually EVERYONE i know is struggling to either get a job, to find housing, or to navigate a severe mental health crisis. in america where there are almost no third spaces, walkability, or public transit outside of hcol areas, being trapped at home and separated from other young adults is demoralizing at best and tortuous at worst when you have a toxic family. these collective global experiences will affect our generational outcomes years from now.
Yeah I kinda want to move out to get away from my parents at times, but right now it's not much I can do really. I mean it is better than being homeless, and I've tried to seek help outside to see but homeless crisis centres don't really help either. And Hospital's ER department can't help me Lol
Irish people will shag anywhere. I’ve had friends here in the states from such a wide background of backgrounds if you will who have done the ancestry or the 23 and me My friends that are Asian and black, who were surprised to find they had Irish ancestry. Immune immune to cold weather and awfully diplomatic. I’d say we are.
Yep yep yep yep. I grew up in a cult, learned to internally vent about not living my life instead of actually living my life and now I'm 27 and waking up to the fact that I've done nothing for TEN YEARS and I'm still stuck in this suburban hellhole surrounded by people who _basically_ want me dead.
If €52k a year can’t have you living comfortably, then it’s even worse than I thought. NOBODY I know is on a salary even remotely close to that. What a fuckin topic, smashed it love - thank you
That’s actually my message, the first one! I only listened today and didn’t realise Keelin read it out. For me the issue isn’t really money, but just the state of renting options 🥲 I wanted to find somewhere with slightly cheaper rent so my bf could pay 50/50 with me, but landlords / letting agents take the piss. I definitely do think you can live in better situations than me but it’s either getting really lucky or blowing your whole salary on rent. We live in a 1 bed cottage
yep! single guy and whenever I go into a rental agency and tell them my salary they immediately loose interest, most rents in my area are around £2K which I can't afford on my own despite having what's considered a healthy salary :/
I’m in the US. Upstate NY. I moved out of my parents house at 18, and I just recently in the last 2 months moved back in with my parents, at almost 21. My father makes me feel so unwanted. He makes me feel like I’m a burden for being back home and I should have just figured it all out by now at 20. I would fight god to have an affordable one bedroom apartment close to my job and I’ve been working 6 days a week and saving as much money as I can during this economic state, and I’m still nowhere closer to getting a car, and moving out into my own place again. It’s just not realistic. And the stress he puts on me is the worst. I can’t have friends here either.
Im in America and it’s fucking crazy. Can’t find an apartment in my state for less than $1000 dollars a month. Houses are like 400-2 mill. Literal trailer homes in my area are 200,000. What the fuck. Im 22 and it’s crippling. It’s so bad here. And I’m just from New Hampshire😭
I know right? and then they're like you have to have your own place to even date. It's pretty bad where I am too in Oregon. Although admittedly it's gotten so out of hand they're starting to solve the issue, but I should literally go on on a journey around the neighborhood photographing the new places that have gone up and the parking nightmare and traffic problem in the area. like they just tore up the road in front of my house and are going to take a whole month to fix it and I have to detour through the neighborhood across and it's like there are so few places to park it's just one long progression of cars parked along both sides of the road. There's a huge housing project that just went up too so the population density about to spike ...sighing. more stress.
i’m brazilian, so it’s a completely different culture here and living with your parents until well into your 30s is normal because the cost for housing has always been so high. honestly my biggest problem with still living with my parents with no idea of when i’ll have a place of my own is how that makes my parents act as if i’m still a child. like the dynamics have gotten so weird. they still get way too worried when i go out late at night and become hyper-protective whenever i’m thinking of going through a new experience, and their worry kinda infects me and i myself start to think that i’m not mature enough to deal with “grown up experiences”.
Parents will always worry no matter what! But it shouldn’t stop you from doing new things. Me and my husband moved back to his home country and are starting over again! Moved back in with his parents and he’s 51! Sometimes it’s what makes sense and no shame in it. His mum still worries about us when we are out late 🤣
Se um dia vocêr for mãe, você vai entender kkkkk, a gente nunca deixa de ser criança nos olhos dos nossos pais, até por que eles colocaram muita energia, tempo e dinheiro pra a gente chegar até aqui. Só a ideia de perder um filho por que você deixou ele sair de madrugada pode gerar uma culpa que vai te afetar até o teu enterro
I'm only 19 and I'm already so worried about this, I'm turning 20 soon and the idea of leaving my teens and having no plan of moving out or a real plan to a mature high paying job is so daunting. The worst part is that my mum went through a really bad break up and was forced to sell the family home so she's renting with no possibility of buying . I can't morally dream of moving out to another house and pay them and leaving my mum by herself, not even to think about buying and leaving her without a house. It's such a hard choice. We have a good relationship but she still is too protective, feels like her opinion is too important and her moods can be too much. What terrible choices we have ahead of us
im on just over 30k in UK which is a decent salary but can’t afford to move out, avg rent in my city in 2021 was around 600 and now it’s 1100 almost 100% increase 😦 completely incomprehensible!
I’m in the US, living with parents at 24. I lived at college for 2 years, but had to move back during covid and have been here since. I feel like i’m stuck in purgatory and waiting for my life to begin. All my friends live about an hour away in Boston, which is not crazy far away, but it means any kind of social thing has to be planned out way in advance which makes it feel weird and rigid, like I’m scheduling a professional meeting or something… it sucks
I relate to this so much. I’m from Australia but I lived in Ireland for a year for exchange and since I’ve been back to Australia have been living with my parents. I completely relate to feeling like you’re in limbo, and waiting for your real life to start
I moved out when I was 22 years old, and moved back in with my parents when I was 24 years old because of the pandemic and my dad died in 2020. We didn't have a good relationship with my dad, he wasn't a nice person (not abusive, just want to make that clear) but I love my mom. And honestly? Now i'm 27 years old sharing an apartment with my mom and I LOVE IT! We share cost of bills, rent etc. We have so much fun together, She's one of my best friends. I'm not planning on moving out for a while, it just doesn't make sense to do that. Especially in this economy. I get a bit defensive about it at times, but when I tell people no one is weird about it. I told my new colleagues at work, and one lady who is 52 said she moved back in with her mom when she was 35 years old and loved it. She later got married and moved in together with her partner. It's definitely a culture and personal thing if you want to move or not.
living in australia and being australian theres definitely a housing crisis here too, if your not sharing a place and working minimum wage on top of going to university it was a really hard situation, I attended full time from Monday to Thursday and worked full time friday through to sunday. burnout is real, now living with my friends family and her I'm worried that I'm overstaying my welcome but know they want me here at the same time. even though I have the option of going home, I just know it will stunt myself even more in progressing in life. now for the Irish who live here, there's a small Irish pub near my work in clovelly (sheas), we have A LOT of young families and students and just mid twenties workers who live here, I believe there's a couple of facebook groupchats that they all connect with on, definitely a sense of community but man some are still struggling bc Australia is quite hard to live on your own if your not earning an amazing amount
This is so depressing. I left Ireland at age 23 four years ago not for any financial reason, but all things considered, I made a good choice. I have my own life and full independence. Never looked back.
I’m pure til marriage, so I’m not worried about the sex part. But in general I am just a very private person and not only living with my family, but more so being their caretaker, time & privacy just don’t exist :/. But financially they need me just as much as I need them. It’s rough on all of us.
Hi, I’m 25. I lived in Limerick city & then Salthill, Galway for college and I’m now back in my home town in Cork living in my childhood bedroom. I love my parents and I have a very good relationship with both of them but I miss the freedom I had when I lived away from home. Not that they’re controlling in any way, but the difference between living in a city versus a town is stark! I’ve a masters in publishing, the job market for it is highly competitive, with the number of applicants greatly outweighing the positions available. Basically all the jobs are in Dublin as well. With the cost of rent there and it being so far away from all my family, I feel very stuck. No idea what the future holds for me. Applying for jobs all the time, so many rejections even though I’m certainly qualified, but I’m not sure if I’d be able to accept one even if I got an offer because I’d possibly have nowhere to live.
I feel you so much with this and am in such a similar position but with my masters being in Law! Moving back home to my mum’s house in a small town in Ireland after studying and living in cities in England has been such a readjustment. All the good jobs are in London and that is so out of my budget :(
In south Africa where I live, because of the high unemployment and apartheid history most young people live with their parents unless you belong to the predominately white upper middle class/rich. I'm lucky, because my parents live in a relatively safe suburb, but the city I live in still has the legacy of spatial apartheid planning and most of my friends who live at home are in unsafe areas with little access to fundamental services. I grew up and still live in a religious Muslim community where women don't move out until marriage even if they have the means. At nearly 26 I'm doing my third degree in, because my liberal arts education did nothing to help me get a job. It can be really lonely being infantilized while I watch my wealthier friends move on and live adult lives while I have to ask my mom if I can leave and am not allowed to date. Obviously not everyone has a toxic relationship with their parents, but I really think people underestimate how limited one's options are as a young person in the global south, and I think those living in the global while obviously struggling the reality here is a world apart.
As a young Australian who lives in Melbourne, the rent here is far from okay. We rent in an upper middle class area (where we used to own a house) in a very nice house. The biggest problem in melbourne is the state of house avalable to rent, our house has a crack in wall (like doctor who's crack in the universe) from work approved by the owner but not fixed (it been roughly a year without them beinging fixed), a roof which is rotting, light fixtures which are fire hazards but aren't fixed and more. We haven't asked for anything to be fixed beaucse the last time we did that they upper our rent by $100 a week, the agreement is monthly so they can upper the rent each month and not reapprove next month, the stability and qualitiy of renting in Melbourne are extremely poor.
I'm 21 in the UK with ASD. My only housing option atm is living with my Nan who has dementia. I won't even try to date till I have my own space as my mental health is shite and my Nan won't stop messing with the kitchen. I can't keep any food here except expensive prepacked crepes hidden in my bedroom and have to get 2 buses across town every day to eat dinner at my parents. Or else risk food poisoning. I've tried cleaning her fridge on multiple occasions but I simply don't have the energy or time to do it regularly and she's refusing to get a career. Trying to get my own place has forced me to look at living hours away from home along train lines just so I can afford a studio. Which will be difficult considering my support needs but I can't stay here.
Late 20's in Northern England here and on a reasonable salary and resonate with nearly all of this. Seems impossible to start a future with someone while living with parents and casual hookups (which I was never bothered about anyway) are definitely off the cards so I'm intimacy-less for the forseeable being single which sucks. Seems like the system is deliberately stacked against us which is somewhat comforting as a lot is out of my control but this doesn't really make me feel better about the lack of privacy/independence. I am saving a decent amount each month while my job still exists but the ongoing cost of living seems to just erode that as time goes by. Working and Middle class people are fucked
This is so real bc Irish homes are built with the thinnest walls of all time so the fact that people don’t have sec at their parents house makes so much sense 😟😟😟
Let's also talk about the discrimination landlords have been able to apply now that they have so many offers (ive seen NO KIDS?? no animals, racism, etc)
You said it girl, I'm 24 at home in England, have a degree and work as much as I can get and I'm currently looking in europe to move (maybe spain) it's super common atm to only be able to sign a 6 month tennancy for rent so the landlord can increase the price without breaking contact laws- it's so normal for rent costs to triple within 6 months to 1 yr here -Its riduclous having to choose between living like a teenager at my rents or leaving everyone I know so I can afford to live is shit x
Stop moving to spain and cheaper places , you guys are making another problem , is Gentrification. is not okay , people in spain can't afford to live there because the rent is higher because the properties in cities and towns are for people who cant afford to live in UK , USA. Etc... Is terrible
how does this happen everytime- your videos are always the ones i need the most that week .. as usual i didn’t just want but needed this.. living on the same timeline ♥️♥️ thank you keelin
I immigrated to Australia in dec 2022 and live with my partner (hes aussie) in Brisbane and we both pay $485 aus dollars a fortnight for rent. We both want to buy and with my salary i am able to save $1,000 aus dollars a month towards my house deposit! It is significantly better quality of life living here however it isnt as cheap as its made out especially for groceries, eating out and coffee shops etc!
what kind of job do you have, I'm a melbourne citizen I dont understand how some peopel can immigrate here and find a job just like that and get decent accomadation for cheap. I've never lived by myself tho so no idea how to... like how groceries would cost etc.
@@andrewmtgxi have a law degree when i first started working i went into law then switched to strata management this year as its less hours & less depressing aha!
@@andrewmtgxmy partner & i have a joint account and roughly both but in 1.5-2k a month each to cover rent, groceries, bills & dates then use our personal cards for additional dates if we want more and just take turns! I make just over 2k a fortnight and then also usually make atleast 100dollars a month selling clothes i no longer where on depop:)
@@drewmccormick1089 Ah so you've got a degree and some working experience in your home country then? Fair enough, But haha I'm struggling with uni I don't know how i'll get a bachelors :PPP but ok fair enough then but youve had a degree so was able to find a job that requires one tho ay! Lucky haha
I’m working seasonal jobs with accommodation because it’s the only way for me to save money. I save money so I can travel and do the things I want to do. Which wouldn’t be possible if I live in Dublin where all my family are. It makes me sad, but I’m happy I can provide the experiences I want for myself the only way I know how at this time.
this video is so correct. I’m 22 and I’m graduating this year and have no idea what’s going to happen to me after. My family are incredibly toxic and it’s so detrimental to my wellbeing. I’m chronically ill and I can’t get a job, I don’t know if I’ll even be able to move out once my halls contract ends and I have to return home.
I’m 33 years old, and just a few weeks ago my 35 year old boyfriend came to visit me, and since he and I had no private place of our own to shag we went for a hike and found a nice wooded pile of dirt a little ways off from the trail. He put his jacket down for me to lay on 😂 Later we scouted out an abandoned building and laid down some cardboard as a bed 🤣 And then our classic go-to spot is in his truck or my car with the windows covered. We both have a lot of fun with it and don’t actually mind, but i could see that not working out for a lot of people. If I was more shy or needed more privacy to be intimate and comfortable, this situation would be too hard for me.
i live in australia, have never been to ireland but can assure you that in the biggest cities (sydney and melbourne) the cost of housing is as bad or worse than ireland. other costs are pretty fair (food, healthcare etc.), but the cheapest studio unit in sydney is $400k aud (245k euro). 1 bedroom apartments roughly 600k aud minimum (367k euro). sydney is the most expensive of australian cities, pretty closely followed by melbourne. we are lucky though that prices are lower in more regional places and in cities that people arent so keen to live. (perth looks lovely but its very remote from the rest of the population of australia for example) overall though lifestyle is pretty good here... sun always shining where i live! apparently a small percentage of australian 25-29 year olds live at home (17% i read) but a large percentage of sydneysider 25-29 year olds live at home (varies by suburb but looks like around 70 percent... maybe lower maybe higher haha). and our government seems hell bent on ensuring that house prices and rents continue to rise. i plan on living in a van after i finish my degree to save to buy an apartment in or near sydney. one good thing financially about australia (in addition to having medicare) is that salaries and wages are imho ok to good. minimum wages are $27+ per hour as casual across australia. baristas can be $40+ (especially in melbourne). teachers $65-90k in my state. government jobs are getting harder to get, but if you can get one they pay well over what is needed to live frugally. so yeah if you can find some way to save on rent then australia is a great place to set up, probably just avoid a lot of the capital cities!
My last relationship was mostly in a car and then his house as his parents where more open than mine it affected the break up as I loved his family my family is a no go unless is very serious. We had to pay for a hotel room for first time lol.
I used to live with my parents and work from home. My mom would not take it seriously and call it not a real work 😅 she just wanted the house all for her I guess
there’s currently a terrible housing and COL crisis in australia too - at least in melbourne and sydney 😣 i live in melbourne and tbh i wouldn’t recommend ppl emigrating here to escape the housing crisis, unless they have a really solid understanding/plan for finding accommodation. it’s hard enough for young ppl and students to find semi-affordable places :/ (perth might be a different story though)
agree! its so bad here and only getting worse :( sydney has the second most expensive housing market in the world after hong kong... its rough out here. but perth is going ok.
I moved to Aus for a year but am back home now. I lived in one of the wealthiest areas in Melb with 2 other girls in a 3 bed house which also had a decent size garden, garage and security gate. My rent was 900AUD which is around 540€. I was able to afford living out of home there working 4/5 days in a cafe while also being able to save AND go travelling AND afford a decide disposable income on top. In dublin you would never find a property like that near that cost (especially taking into account the area I was in) anddd the fact I was working a minimum wage hospitality job(literally just the hourly wage as it was a cafe, didnt even really get tips on top).
I'm in australia and im a young lad 19m No idea how to move out lol. But I'd love to, Don't know if I could handle a full time job but no idea how to get a fulltime min wage (actual min wage like $23.23 per hour job cause I had junior rates in fast food(which is horrible $17hr) so yeah. How did you secure a hospo job like that in Melbourne?
@@aurograce2983 I actually minwage isn't truly min wage in austral u can get way less... There this thing called junior rates search fast food award 2020 Australia under 21s age get less money fooking slave labor shit. i get $17.31/hr aud this yr in my job at maccas mcdonald miccyDs yall muricanscall it it's fokin A$17.31 AUD so converts that lol. . . weekend is like $21 tho so that is something but still under the proper wage of min $24/hr aud... it be like $17.51 (when i was casual workin at Burger king (we call it hungry jacks here) i earn more as a 17yo then i do this yr a a 18yo so far (also 19) wage now so yeah that's a thing...

I'm not the type of person to ever drop a comment on a CZcams video but I have to say the idea of you Keelin and other people excusing parents not wanting their kids to live with them, treating them a certain way, them not wanting to live and look after their grandchildren, etc is not a valid excuse in my opinion. Why on earth would you have children to then just treat them like a burden when they're an adult? If you have children they you take on their baggage, that includes grandchildren and unforeseen circumstances like the housing crisis. Perhaps this is a cultural thing as well because I am not a white person but I don't think anyone should excuse their parents behaviour like this. If you commit to having a child then you commit to that child for life. Your child could be 50 and going through a rough time, guess what, they're still your child and you should be understanding and there for them. You're just excusing shitty parenting and its sounds like there are a lot more shitty parents out there than I imagined.
I'm in Australia and now understand why so many young Irish people are here. They tell us the cost of living in Ireland is bad but I never realised the extent of the situation. The rising cost of living and difficulty of finding a decent rental in Australia has been tough but this sounds like a nightmare
We’ve got to stop looking at it as if our parents are still looking after us and doing us favors. They want us around l, they want to spend time with their grandkids, and multi generational households are healthy for children. My parents are only getting older, they need the young bloods around to help with reading fine print, sending emails and cleaning gutters. That the economy doesn’t accommodate the young only benefits the elderly so we should stop minimizing the unpaid elder care our generations are now indentured to. We who live at home with our parents should be revered.
My mom trained my brother and I from 3 to know how to call emergency services if anything happened to her. Even going so far as to pretend to fall as a drill LOL maybe a bit much but if anything had ever happened we literally would have saved her life as literal toddlers so it can be done
As a native of belfast whos trying to get on the property ladder, it pains me to hear these Dubliners talking about buying in belfast because its cheaper. They're driving the prices up here now due to the demand.
great video. As a man with a short attention span i expected to click off within a few mins but watched the whole thing. Interesting to hear everyone's experiences
I had to leave home (for college, but also I needed a good excuse to get away) at 19, and I've never gone back. 34 now. Personally, I wish I was able to live at home and save money, but it wasn't an option. So, I've been stuck paycheck to paycheck since then :(
Hey Keelin, really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with Best Quality Editing in your videos better than your Editor with good pricing and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your videos to reach to a wider audience ? Pls let me know what do you think ?
What if instead of dating for romance and shelter, we look for friends and instead of hooking up we instead give and take emotional support that way we can move in together but as friends. Idk I think that fondness in depth is what Thai generation needs rn. Like dating but for good, supportive friendships.
I left home at 17.. i dont beleive its not doable.. not saying you should do it. But... if youre spending the extra money on buying unnecessary stuff, then its wasted time.
If your going through school and saving up from part time work here and there even as a young adult its no sot bad still living with the rents especially in todays economy. If your dating someone just stay at a hotel and tell her its only a temp situation until you finish school and save up enough to move out from the rents im sure she'd understand as long as your honest. Just stay at a Marriott or Hilton for a night or two and invite her over not a big deal. But yea NO motel 6 or car sex thats bottom barrel shit.
Millenial, here. Moved out before reaching my 20s. The hotel/motel things sounds like it would be the best suggestion for anybody in a relationship, but still live at home. But doesn't it get frustrating having to spend extra money for a room, just to bang your partner for one night? And finding a room that's not already booked is a headache, no?
@@obitouchiha6439 Good point but as is said its temporary and sometimes you gotta make due as best you can even if it costs a few extra dollars. It comes down to if its worth it to you at the end of the day, Booking a hotel room for the weekend in my area isn't really a problem in the suburbs or even downtown unless your by the airport aside from that you should have no problem getting a room for a night or two.
@@kevinfernandes1882 Granted, if it works for you, it works for you. I personally prefer what I have, currently, my own place where I can do whatever, without having to answer to anybody. And all the money I would have used at hotels, is instead being used to save up for retirement. But, again, whatever works for the individual.
The woman talking about her fella being an electrician absolutely riled me UP!! The vulture funds who are buying the property market are begging construction workers to come back and work in Dublin never mind the rest of the country but there nowhere to live!!! I’m a female apprentice electrician and I living in Dublin, I got called for college in LAOIS?? So I had to find someone to live in my room so I don’t loose it even after telling SOLAS that I will be homeless if I can’t get someone to live in my Dublin house!!! As an apprentice on €8 an hour I have to pay my own bills my own rent my own tools at 24!!!! I now pay for my rent in Dublin and Laois!!!! I can’t grasp how people are coming into the country getting a free house and NOT contributing to the economy?? But somehow I’m an ap electrican contributing to economy and future of housing and I can’t get a room at a decent price???? The government pays €4k to employers to take on a woman but we’re still struggling I don’t fucking get it😅MAKE IT MAKE SENSE
I must be getting old - I used to just ask a mate If we could borrow his house or spare room for a while. I'd tell the lads that it was so we could have sex, naturally they were more than happy see me get some haha. They'd go out for a bit, come back. We'd then offer to take our host out for dinner/drinks, golden it was!
You're blaming the government, which I agree, but its not the vulture funds thats the problem.. its the inadequate supply of houses. If its anything similar to the UK, the government presuably stopped building houses and let 'the free market' do it except with tons of more regulation which puts off development. To top that off, you have immigrant population that is rising.. so you're competing with them for housing. Rent caps impacts future rental ability (ie; landlords will either leave the market or won't enter the market) as there is no profit in it for them. Why would you risk indebting yourself for a house you think won't bring enough income (due to rental caps) ? well you wont... and we are seeing an exodus in the UK of landlords for this very reason.
The gov allows immigrants in at unprecedented rates effectively replacing the original population of European countries. The gov regulates housing. The gov could easily pass policies to simply build more subsidized housing.
Also, I'm guessing Ireland is the same as Canada for the pricing of education, meaning we're paying thousands to go to a school and cannot even get accommodation??
living with your whole family used to be the norm... their solution to find a place to get intimate? if you are not married then you don't. Find Christ
Being from Toronto, ON I relate so much to this 😩 the housing market is absolutely fucking mad here right now it's impossible to get an affordable place even an hour from the city centre. I'm 25 and I live with both my parents, brother, his wife, and their kids... But most of my friends are in a similar position to me, it's crazy right now The AVERAGE cost for a house in this area is 1 MILLION dollars. Absolutely fucked
Hey, I currently live in Toronto, originally from Tokyo Japan. I honestly feel for your generation. I'm currently 32 and left Japan to live on my own at 18. The economy wasn't all that great, bak then, but at least it was relatively easier for my generation to at least get a 1 bedroom apartment, during our early adult years. Now, only a micro fraction of early 20 something year olds are able to begin their lives as full fledged adults. Have you considered looking for roommates?
the situation becomes even more shitty when you have abusive parents - a lot of young people have to choose between destroying their mental health just to barely survive or to relitigate childhood trauma and continue to endure abuse in an unsafe space. i'm 25 and virtually EVERYONE i know is struggling to either get a job, to find housing, or to navigate a severe mental health crisis. in america where there are almost no third spaces, walkability, or public transit outside of hcol areas, being trapped at home and separated from other young adults is demoralizing at best and tortuous at worst when you have a toxic family. these collective global experiences will affect our generational outcomes years from now.

I definitely do think you can live in better situations than me but it’s either getting really lucky or blowing your whole salary on rent. We live in a 1 bed cottage
yep! single guy and whenever I go into a rental agency and tell them my salary they immediately loose interest, most rents in my area are around £2K which I can't afford on my own despite having what's considered a healthy salary :/
I’m in the US. Upstate NY. I moved out of my parents house at 18, and I just recently in the last 2 months moved back in with my parents, at almost 21. My father makes me feel so unwanted. He makes me feel like I’m a burden for being back home and I should have just figured it all out by now at 20. I would fight god to have an affordable one bedroom apartment close to my job and I’ve been working 6 days a week and saving as much money as I can during this economic state, and I’m still nowhere closer to getting a car, and moving out into my own place again. It’s just not realistic. And the stress he puts on me is the worst. I can’t have friends here either.
God is the person to wrestle with. Praying for you!
Im in America and it’s fucking crazy. Can’t find an apartment in my state for less than $1000 dollars a month. Houses are like 400-2 mill. Literal trailer homes in my area are 200,000. What the fuck. Im 22 and it’s crippling. It’s so bad here. And I’m just from New Hampshire😭
I know right? and then they're like you have to have your own place to even date. It's pretty bad where I am too in Oregon.
Although admittedly it's gotten so out of hand they're starting to solve the issue, but I should literally go on on a journey around the neighborhood photographing the new places that have gone up and the parking nightmare and traffic problem in the area.
like they just tore up the road in front of my house and are going to take a whole month to fix it and I have to detour through the neighborhood across and it's like there are so few places to park it's just one long progression of cars parked along both sides of the road. There's a huge housing project that just went up too so the population density about to spike ...sighing. more stress.
And for mobile homes you have to add lot rent on top of the mortgage. Where I live that's another $700-$1000/month.
400k is surely doable in NYC? I paid roughly for a $260k house in some northern english town. But our wages are so much lower than americans.
i’m brazilian, so it’s a completely different culture here and living with your parents until well into your 30s is normal because the cost for housing has always been so high. honestly my biggest problem with still living with my parents with no idea of when i’ll have a place of my own is how that makes my parents act as if i’m still a child. like the dynamics have gotten so weird. they still get way too worried when i go out late at night and become hyper-protective whenever i’m thinking of going through a new experience, and their worry kinda infects me and i myself start to think that i’m not mature enough to deal with “grown up experiences”.
Parents will always worry no matter what! But it shouldn’t stop you from doing new things. Me and my husband moved back to his home country and are starting over again! Moved back in with his parents and he’s 51! Sometimes it’s what makes sense and no shame in it. His mum still worries about us when we are out late 🤣
Se um dia vocêr for mãe, você vai entender kkkkk, a gente nunca deixa de ser criança nos olhos dos nossos pais, até por que eles colocaram muita energia, tempo e dinheiro pra a gente chegar até aqui. Só a ideia de perder um filho por que você deixou ele sair de madrugada pode gerar uma culpa que vai te afetar até o teu enterro

I'm only 19 and I'm already so worried about this, I'm turning 20 soon and the idea of leaving my teens and having no plan of moving out or a real plan to a mature high paying job is so daunting. The worst part is that my mum went through a really bad break up and was forced to sell the family home so she's renting with no possibility of buying . I can't morally dream of moving out to another house and pay them and leaving my mum by herself, not even to think about buying and leaving her without a house. It's such a hard choice. We have a good relationship but she still is too protective, feels like her opinion is too important and her moods can be too much. What terrible choices we have ahead of us
‘Please stop moving furniture around’
Oh my HELL 😭🤣🤣🤣
im on just over 30k in UK which is a decent salary but can’t afford to move out, avg rent in my city in 2021 was around 600 and now it’s 1100 almost 100% increase 😦 completely incomprehensible!
What do you do for work?
@@ricardosmythe2548 doesn't matter 100% increase in 2years is tooo much
I’m in the US, living with parents at 24. I lived at college for 2 years, but had to move back during covid and have been here since. I feel like i’m stuck in purgatory and waiting for my life to begin. All my friends live about an hour away in Boston, which is not crazy far away, but it means any kind of social thing has to be planned out way in advance which makes it feel weird and rigid, like I’m scheduling a professional meeting or something… it sucks
I relate to this so much. I’m from Australia but I lived in Ireland for a year for exchange and since I’ve been back to Australia have been living with my parents. I completely relate to feeling like you’re in limbo, and waiting for your real life to start
I moved out when I was 22 years old, and moved back in with my parents when I was 24 years old because of the pandemic and my dad died in 2020. We didn't have a good relationship with my dad, he wasn't a nice person (not abusive, just want to make that clear) but I love my mom. And honestly? Now i'm 27 years old sharing an apartment with my mom and I LOVE IT! We share cost of bills, rent etc. We have so much fun together, She's one of my best friends. I'm not planning on moving out for a while, it just doesn't make sense to do that. Especially in this economy. I get a bit defensive about it at times, but when I tell people no one is weird about it. I told my new colleagues at work, and one lady who is 52 said she moved back in with her mom when she was 35 years old and loved it. She later got married and moved in together with her partner. It's definitely a culture and personal thing if you want to move or not.
living in australia and being australian theres definitely a housing crisis here too, if your not sharing a place and working minimum wage on top of going to university it was a really hard situation, I attended full time from Monday to Thursday and worked full time friday through to sunday. burnout is real, now living with my friends family and her I'm worried that I'm overstaying my welcome but know they want me here at the same time. even though I have the option of going home, I just know it will stunt myself even more in progressing in life.
now for the Irish who live here, there's a small Irish pub near my work in clovelly (sheas), we have A LOT of young families and students and just mid twenties workers who live here, I believe there's a couple of facebook groupchats that they all connect with on, definitely a sense of community but man some are still struggling bc Australia is quite hard to live on your own if your not earning an amazing amount
This is so depressing. I left Ireland at age 23 four years ago not for any financial reason, but all things considered, I made a good choice. I have my own life and full independence. Never looked back.
I’m pure til marriage, so I’m not worried about the sex part. But in general I am just a very private person and not only living with my family, but more so being their caretaker, time & privacy just don’t exist :/. But financially they need me just as much as I need them. It’s rough on all of us.
I am a man from Dublin. I have never had a relationship or sex. I lived at home until 30, I now live in Spain at 31.
Bro...they dont care. They dont even look at guys like you on the street. It's not your fault though
Hi, I’m 25. I lived in Limerick city & then Salthill, Galway for college and I’m now back in my home town in Cork living in my childhood bedroom. I love my parents and I have a very good relationship with both of them but I miss the freedom I had when I lived away from home. Not that they’re controlling in any way, but the difference between living in a city versus a town is stark! I’ve a masters in publishing, the job market for it is highly competitive, with the number of applicants greatly outweighing the positions available. Basically all the jobs are in Dublin as well. With the cost of rent there and it being so far away from all my family, I feel very stuck. No idea what the future holds for me. Applying for jobs all the time, so many rejections even though I’m certainly qualified, but I’m not sure if I’d be able to accept one even if I got an offer because I’d possibly have nowhere to live.
I feel you so much with this and am in such a similar position but with my masters being in Law! Moving back home to my mum’s house in a small town in Ireland after studying and living in cities in England has been such a readjustment. All the good jobs are in London and that is so out of my budget :(
In south Africa where I live, because of the high unemployment and apartheid history most young people live with their parents unless you belong to the predominately white upper middle class/rich. I'm lucky, because my parents live in a relatively safe suburb, but the city I live in still has the legacy of spatial apartheid planning and most of my friends who live at home are in unsafe areas with little access to fundamental services. I grew up and still live in a religious Muslim community where women don't move out until marriage even if they have the means. At nearly 26 I'm doing my third degree in, because my liberal arts education did nothing to help me get a job. It can be really lonely being infantilized while I watch my wealthier friends move on and live adult lives while I have to ask my mom if I can leave and am not allowed to date. Obviously not everyone has a toxic relationship with their parents, but I really think people underestimate how limited one's options are as a young person in the global south, and I think those living in the global while obviously struggling the reality here is a world apart.
Have you thought about getting roommates?
How are you supposed to get married and move out if you're not allowed to date?
@@aurograce2983 The parents probably believe in arranged marriage. Big yikes.
Glad to see I'm not alone in this situation keep safe out there people.
As a young Australian who lives in Melbourne, the rent here is far from okay. We rent in an upper middle class area (where we used to own a house) in a very nice house. The biggest problem in melbourne is the state of house avalable to rent, our house has a crack in wall (like doctor who's crack in the universe) from work approved by the owner but not fixed (it been roughly a year without them beinging fixed), a roof which is rotting, light fixtures which are fire hazards but aren't fixed and more. We haven't asked for anything to be fixed beaucse the last time we did that they upper our rent by $100 a week, the agreement is monthly so they can upper the rent each month and not reapprove next month, the stability and qualitiy of renting in Melbourne are extremely poor.
I'm 21 in the UK with ASD. My only housing option atm is living with my Nan who has dementia.
I won't even try to date till I have my own space as my mental health is shite and my Nan won't stop messing with the kitchen. I can't keep any food here except expensive prepacked crepes hidden in my bedroom and have to get 2 buses across town every day to eat dinner at my parents. Or else risk food poisoning. I've tried cleaning her fridge on multiple occasions but I simply don't have the energy or time to do it regularly and she's refusing to get a career.
Trying to get my own place has forced me to look at living hours away from home along train lines just so I can afford a studio. Which will be difficult considering my support needs but I can't stay here.
Late 20's in Northern England here and on a reasonable salary and resonate with nearly all of this. Seems impossible to start a future with someone while living with parents and casual hookups (which I was never bothered about anyway) are definitely off the cards so I'm intimacy-less for the forseeable being single which sucks. Seems like the system is deliberately stacked against us which is somewhat comforting as a lot is out of my control but this doesn't really make me feel better about the lack of privacy/independence. I am saving a decent amount each month while my job still exists but the ongoing cost of living seems to just erode that as time goes by. Working and Middle class people are fucked
This is so real bc Irish homes are built with the thinnest walls of all time so the fact that people don’t have sec at their parents house makes so much sense 😟😟😟
Let's also talk about the discrimination landlords have been able to apply now that they have so many offers (ive seen NO KIDS?? no animals, racism, etc)
loved this video❤ feels like a group of friends oversharing which is so good😔
You said it girl, I'm 24 at home in England, have a degree and work as much as I can get and I'm currently looking in europe to move (maybe spain) it's super common atm to only be able to sign a 6 month tennancy for rent so the landlord can increase the price without breaking contact laws- it's so normal for rent costs to triple within 6 months to 1 yr here -Its riduclous having to choose between living like a teenager at my rents or leaving everyone I know so I can afford to live is shit x
Stop moving to spain and cheaper places , you guys are making another problem , is Gentrification.
is not okay , people in spain can't afford to live there because the rent is higher because the properties in cities and towns are for people who cant afford to live in UK , USA. Etc...

I immigrated to Australia in dec 2022 and live with my partner (hes aussie) in Brisbane and we both pay $485 aus dollars a fortnight for rent. We both want to buy and with my salary i am able to save $1,000 aus dollars a month towards my house deposit!

I’m working seasonal jobs with accommodation because it’s the only way for me to save money. I save money so I can travel and do the things I want to do.

this video is so correct. I’m 22 and I’m graduating this year and have no idea what’s going to happen to me after. My family are incredibly toxic and it’s so detrimental to my wellbeing.

Loving these talking videos lately❤
such a good video, the vibes are so homey
I’m 33 years old, and just a few weeks ago my 35 year old boyfriend came to visit me, and since he and I had no private place of our own to shag we went for a hike and found a nice wooded pile of dirt a little ways off from the trail. He put his jacket down for me to lay on 😂
Later we scouted out an abandoned building and laid down some cardboard as a bed 🤣
And then our classic go-to spot is in his truck or my car with the windows covered.
We both have a lot of fun with it and don’t actually mind, but i could see that not working out for a lot of people. If I was more shy or needed more privacy to be intimate and comfortable, this situation would be too hard for me.
i live in australia, have never been to ireland but can assure you that in the biggest cities (sydney and melbourne) the cost of housing is as bad or worse than ireland. other costs are pretty fair (food, healthcare etc.), but the cheapest studio unit in sydney is $400k aud (245k euro). 1 bedroom apartments roughly 600k aud minimum (367k euro). sydney is the most expensive of australian cities, pretty closely followed by melbourne. we are lucky though that prices are lower in more regional places and in cities that people arent so keen to live. (perth looks lovely but its very remote from the rest of the population of australia for example) overall though lifestyle is pretty good here... sun always shining where i live! apparently a small percentage of australian 25-29 year olds live at home (17% i read) but a large percentage of sydneysider 25-29 year olds live at home (varies by suburb but looks like around 70 percent... maybe lower maybe higher haha). and our government seems hell bent on ensuring that house prices and rents continue to rise. i plan on living in a van after i finish my degree to save to buy an apartment in or near sydney. one good thing financially about australia (in addition to having medicare) is that salaries and wages are imho ok to good. minimum wages are $27+ per hour as casual across australia. baristas can be $40+ (especially in melbourne). teachers $65-90k in my state. government jobs are getting harder to get, but if you can get one they pay well over what is needed to live frugally. so yeah if you can find some way to save on rent then australia is a great place to set up, probably just avoid a lot of the capital cities!
My last relationship was mostly in a car and then his house as his parents where more open than mine it affected the break up as I loved his family my family is a no go unless is very serious. We had to pay for a hotel room for first time lol.

there’s currently a terrible housing and COL crisis in australia too - at least in melbourne and sydney 😣 i live in melbourne and tbh i wouldn’t recommend ppl emigrating here to escape the housing crisis, unless they have a really solid understanding/plan for finding accommodation. it’s hard enough for young ppl and students to find semi-affordable places :/ (perth might be a different story though)
agree! its so bad here and only getting worse :( sydney has the second most expensive housing market in the world after hong kong... its rough out here. but perth is going ok.
I moved to Aus for a year but am back home now. I lived in one of the wealthiest areas in Melb with 2 other girls in a 3 bed house which also had a decent size garden, garage and security gate. My rent was 900AUD which is around 540€. I was able to afford living out of home there working 4/5 days in a cafe while also being able to save AND go travelling AND afford a decide disposable income on top. In dublin you would never find a property like that near that cost (especially taking into account the area I was in) anddd the fact I was working a minimum wage hospitality job(literally just the hourly wage as it was a cafe, didnt even really get tips on top).

I'm not the type of person to ever drop a comment on a CZcams video but I have to say the idea of you Keelin and other people excusing parents not wanting their kids to live with them, treating them a certain way, them not wanting to live and look after their grandchildren, etc is not a valid excuse in my opinion. Why on earth would you have children to then just treat them like a burden when they're an adult? If you have children they you take on their baggage, that includes grandchildren and unforeseen circumstances like the housing crisis. Perhaps this is a cultural thing as well because I am not a white person but I don't think anyone should excuse their parents behaviour like this. If you commit to having a child then you commit to that child for life. Your child could be 50 and going through a rough time, guess what, they're still your child and you should be understanding and there for them. You're just excusing shitty parenting and its sounds like there are a lot more shitty parents out there than I imagined.
I'm in Australia and now understand why so many young Irish people are here. They tell us the cost of living in Ireland is bad but I never realised the extent of the situation. The rising cost of living and difficulty of finding a decent rental in Australia has been tough but this sounds like a nightmare
We’ve got to stop looking at it as if our parents are still looking after us and doing us favors. They want us around l, they want to spend time with their grandkids, and multi generational households are healthy for children. My parents are only getting older, they need the young bloods around to help with reading fine print, sending emails and cleaning gutters. That the economy doesn’t accommodate the young only benefits the elderly so we should stop minimizing the unpaid elder care our generations are now indentured to. We who live at home with our parents should be revered.
My mom trained my brother and I from 3 to know how to call emergency services if anything happened to her. Even going so far as to pretend to fall as a drill LOL maybe a bit much but if anything had ever happened we literally would have saved her life as literal toddlers so it can be done
As a native of belfast whos trying to get on the property ladder, it pains me to hear these Dubliners talking about buying in belfast because its cheaper. They're driving the prices up here now due to the demand.
Immigration, immigration, immigration, supply and demand is a cast iron law, it pushes wages down and house and rent prices up.

Idk I think that fondness in depth is what Thai generation needs rn. Like dating but for good, supportive friendships.

Remember when Tony Sopranos mom set her home on fire so Tony would have to leave work?
If your going through school and saving up from part time work here and there even as a young adult its no sot bad still living with the rents especially in todays economy. If your dating someone just stay at a hotel and tell her its only a temp situation until you finish school and save up enough to move out from the rents im sure she'd understand as long as your honest. Just stay at a Marriott or Hilton for a night or two and invite her over not a big deal. But yea NO motel 6 or car sex thats bottom barrel shit.
Millenial, here. Moved out before reaching my 20s. The hotel/motel things sounds like it would be the best suggestion for anybody in a relationship, but still live at home. But doesn't it get frustrating having to spend extra money for a room, just to bang your partner for one night? And finding a room that's not already booked is a headache, no?
@@obitouchiha6439 Good point but as is said its temporary and sometimes you gotta make due as best you can even if it costs a few extra dollars. It comes down to if its worth it to you at the end of the day, Booking a hotel room for the weekend in my area isn't really a problem in the suburbs or even downtown unless your by the airport aside from that you should have no problem getting a room for a night or two.
@@kevinfernandes1882 Granted, if it works for you, it works for you. I personally prefer what I have, currently, my own place where I can do whatever, without having to answer to anybody.

Try being in your 30s and still living with parents ☹☹☹
I’m in the same boat. Trying to get ahead in Sydney is rough.
The woman talking about her fella being an electrician absolutely riled me UP!!
The vulture funds who are buying the property market are begging construction workers to come back and work in Dublin never mind the rest of the country but there nowhere to live!!! I’m a female apprentice electrician and I living in Dublin, I got called for college in LAOIS?? So I had to find someone to live in my room so I don’t loose it even after telling SOLAS that I will be homeless if I can’t get someone to live in my Dublin house!!! As an apprentice on €8 an hour I have to pay my own bills my own rent my own tools at 24!!!! I now pay for my rent in Dublin and Laois!!!! I can’t grasp how people are coming into the country getting a free house and NOT contributing to the economy?? But somehow I’m an ap electrican contributing to economy and future of housing and I can’t get a room at a decent price???? The government pays €4k to employers to take on a woman but we’re still struggling I don’t fucking get it😅MAKE IT MAKE SENSE
I must be getting old - I used to just ask a mate If we could borrow his house or spare room for a while. I'd tell the lads that it was so we could have sex, naturally they were more than happy see me get some haha. They'd go out for a bit, come back. We'd then offer to take our host out for dinner/drinks, golden it was!
You're blaming the government, which I agree, but its not the vulture funds thats the problem.. its the inadequate supply of houses. If its anything similar to the UK, the government presuably stopped building houses and let 'the free market' do it except with tons of more regulation which puts off development. To top that off, you have immigrant population that is rising.. so you're competing with them for housing. Rent caps impacts future rental ability (ie; landlords will either leave the market or won't enter the market) as there is no profit in it for them. Why would you risk indebting yourself for a house you think won't bring enough income (due to rental caps) ?
well you wont... and we are seeing an exodus in the UK of landlords for this very reason.
The gov allows immigrants in at unprecedented rates effectively replacing the original population of European countries. The gov regulates housing. The gov could easily pass policies to simply build more subsidized housing.
Also, I'm guessing Ireland is the same as Canada for the pricing of education, meaning we're paying thousands to go to a school and cannot even get accommodation??
No, it’s free in Ireland

The AVERAGE cost for a house in this area is 1 MILLION dollars. Absolutely fucked
Hey, I currently live in Toronto, originally from Tokyo Japan. I honestly feel for your generation. I'm currently 32 and left Japan to live on my own at 18. The economy wasn't all that great, bak then, but at least it was relatively easier for my generation to at least get a 1 bedroom apartment, during our early adult years. Now, only a micro fraction of early 20 something year olds are able to begin their lives as full fledged adults. Have you considered looking for roommates?
