Housing costs on my island 9Isle of Man) are expensive, not to mention that plenty of folk over the years have been selling their homes and those homes still haven't been bought by new people looking to buy a home, all due to the high prices and areas they reside in. Also doesn't help that the island doesn't have much going for work outside of retail, Gov and trade jobs. Our own Gov even suggested a few years back to stick with their folks since prices were to high (and still are) and there are even some teens and those in their mid 20's to mid 30's that have to hold down two jobs just to afford where they live.

I honestly don't see much wrong with someone who wants to stick with their folks, I mean if we go back a century or two there were many who had lived with their parents until theirs passed away and ended up taking over the family land or business. I feel those that see it as being wrong don't really understand those that do and why they want to, that and the economic situations, housing prices and cost of living in other parts of the world.

Usually for those that get married or have a partner, the chances of living with them are higher than being alone and working a regular paying job here. My folks for example always split everything down the middle when it comes to costs for many things, especially since it helps out my stepdad since he works a trade job that pays a lot less than my mother who works for the gov, had my stepdad been on his own, he would be paying and getting by just a bit in a small cramped flat. My sister is barely getting by on her own with two part time jobs and she's already had to move through 3 different flats in the past 4 years.
