How old is Too Old to live in your parents’ home

sponsor-strip_empire-east

It’s understandable to live in your parent’s house after you graduate. Especially if you still don’t have a job. But everything has its limitations. Considering that you have almost consumed your 20s still living in your parents’ house, relying on them for all your personal needs, then we bet it would pose a huge problem for you (and your parents!)

But really, how old is too old to live in your parent’s house? Well this is a question that you should ask yourself.

Here are 5 reasons why you need to move out NOW:

  1. Your commute to work takes millions of hours

The traffic in Manila is no joke, even on trains whether it is on MRT or PNR its still packed with aggressive people trying to get in. Your ride will make you feel exhausted!

  1. You love #HappyThursdays and #TGIF

Living in your parents house is like going home before the unspoken curfew. Your parents won’t tell you there’s a curfew but they’ll nag you about it the next day. But isn’t staying later than usual part of growing up? If you can’t keep up with your parents’ strict rules then maybe it’s a sign that you need your own pace and schedule.

  1. Bringing your significant other is a HUGE awkward mess.

Dating can be tricky especially if you live at your parent’s house. Well for one, you can’t bring your date home; two, no sleepovers and three, Dude you got an unspoken curfew, it means NO to ‘sexy time’

  1. You still don’t know how to do your own laundry

Doing your own laundry is the most vital thing one should learn, regardless of whether you’re a guy or a girl. Learn how to remove that stain you got from eating too much meatballs from your friend’s party or that colored shots you got last night. And for once, imagine how awkward it is to have someone wash your underwear, what are you 5 years old?

  1. You’re older than 30

When all your friends are out there living the dream with their newly invested condo or townhouse, I think it’s about time to move out and get your own place while you still can. Besides living that long with your parents, you probably already have millions of savings. Invest in a condo or in an apartment, somewhere you can your live independently. Besides, condominiums are very accessible so you can still invite your folks to visit when you miss them. 🙂
