Imagine having the money to move out. That would be nice.
it’s fucking ridiculous that this is the reality we accept we live in. WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE ISN’T ENOUGH HOUSING, FUCKING BUILD MORE YOU IDIOTS
no but they can’t because they have to give our tax money indirectly and often just directly to billionaires that dont even pay taxes then blame us for the lack of tax money
My mom told me she still can’t sleep if I’m not home right before she died, when I was 40
😭
Had an Estonian mom. She put so much effort into making sure I was ready to be independent as an adult, I don’t feel comfortable in her house.
I had the opportunity many years ago to work and travel in Australia for two years. The amount of 18 year olds from Germany, Netherlands and the UK that were in Australia was comical. It wasn’t uncommon for some of the older travellers to teach some of them how to cook, do laundry and not die.
A lot of them came with a travel agency that would book flights, hostels and offer job search services. These young people literally got shipped out to the other side of the world as soon as they turned 18.
Am Southern Europe, can confirm.
La matriarca
Brazil too
The below is not because young people don’t want to leave, it’s because they can’t afford a place to live by themselves since salaries are shit and those countries have insane realestate bubbles proped up by foreigner “investors” (making the prices even more insane in terms of local incomes).
What often happens is that those young people who leave, leave not just their parent’s home but also the country itself (for example, half of Portugal’s University graduates emigrate when they graduate)
