Living Arrangements
I find it interesting that in discussions about people living at home until they marry there always seems to be a negative connotation. Specifically that it's patriarchal and infantalizing in nature and always about treating women as possessions. I don't think that is always the case.
Realalisticly living with ones parents in early adulthood can be beneficial. Most parents don't charge their kids market rent which enables them to save more sooner. There is also the angle of having a multigenerational household which creates an easily accessible support network for everyone. That can be invaluable for parents of young children especially single ones. Also it provides an oppertunity to learn how a household functions from an adult perspective instead as oppose to beginning romantic relationships at the same time.
I guess I just don't always think an adult living with their parents signals something wrong in either their personality or beliefs.
