Despite earning a decent income and leading a stable life, a 28-year-old man found himself facing strong ridicule from his friends in the United States simply because he chose to live with his parents. The frustrated Singaporean took to Reddit and asked if it was really that uncommon to stay with parents as an adult, adding that he helped with the bills and his parents gave him space.
“Is it common for Singaporeans in their late 20s to still live with parents even if they can move out?” the man asked. In the next few lines, he explained the reason behind the question.
“Not talking about financial necessity, but purely cultural norms. I’m 28, have a decent income, and could rent a room comfortably if I wanted to. But I’m still living with my parents and honestly, life is quite normal there’s space, no one is controlling me, and we all get along. I help with bills, I come and go freely, and it doesn’t feel like a child situation at all,” he explained.
