Agree. I am that 30 y o still living at home. Work full time, 2 jobs and STILL cannot afford a rent without it decimating me to the ground. Its nothing to do with my budget: i get close to 3k/mo yet if i try to rent some place, i will pretty much have only about 400/500 left a month…. In a european capital. What is the point of renting in these conditions? And yes i know rationally its possible with my salary but i choose its more fruitful to help parent and be able to save rather than live ln the verge every month without being able to do much.
The Corporations and Governments broke the social contract, not you. Remember that ish when things pop off. Workers were never to blame.
Honestly yeah, in this economy, it's better and more fruitful to help your parents than to be decimated by rent.
