Upstate NY ranked Worst Place to Live

I've heard that's becoming the norm in the US too, at least the living with parents late into the 20's, not sure about having kids and still living with parents.
Few people want to be married and living with their parents. Although our housemates from Spain are in their late 20s (28/26) and while not married are basically married and live together with his parents. They don't like it, but it isn't super abnormal either.

I think there is still a pretty deep line in the sand with regards to living with parents into the 20's vs raising your kids in your parents house.
I'd imagine that the situation applies.... (child pregnancy, child out of wedlock etc)

Not really. It is traditional to do both in nearly all cultures. You live at home a decade past the average child bearing ages and naturally you are raising those kids at home. It is purely an American taboo that you are sensing. The rest of the world doesn't have that feeling at all. Some people specifically move back home so that their parents can help raise the kids.

We may end up living with my parents again in a few months (if our house sells). We won't be there for long. Rent around us in upstate NY is insane so it would be much more economical to do.

Ohhh so not true. Three of my wife's siblings have all lived at her parents home with married partner and kids... sure, child pregnancy, but they were adults in their late 20's (29/31) yet still living with the parents.

@coliver Want a few rooms to rent? I'm sure I'm cheaper than the common land lord

Probably, if you look for a rental 2-3 hours north of us generally it is much less expensive. 1-2 bedroom apartments around us regularly go for 800-1000$.

@coliver Where in NY are you?

that's what they go for in Omaha, NE.

I couldn't even thing about living with my parents now at 28. I moved out when I was 19 and haven't looked back since.
I dislike the area they live in very much and my parents are very religious (judgmental).

Right, we have are extremely rural here. The county seat has ~5000-6000 people.

Ah, yeah you're about 4 hours away.
$800 - $1000 isn't horrible for an entire apartment, on a lease or not?

You can generally get a mortgage around here for $600/month for a house twice or three times the size. That includes utilities and tax.

I didn't say you couldn't buy a house for less, but that I kind of agree that $800 - $1000 a month isn't horrible for an apartment.

Except you need either a local job, or a global job that has you seated in that country for some time.
But that's damn cheap. -
