Yeah I’m sure this will do wonders for the country
To be honest i live at home and I dont plan to move out because I refuse to share a house with strangers and due to my work hours dont have time to really have a home
Whats the point of moving out if your only awake in your house for two hours a day?
Probably somthing to do with rent being like £1300 a month for shit houses. You need a partner and combined income just to live in a bog standard area these days.
1. no quality jobs
2. Being shamed by cultural norms for living with parents
3. Dating market is awful due to online apps so many never feel the joy of a relationship
4. Cost of living crisis
5. Told they are the most privileged group in society
6. Watched their parents have an easy go at it by comparison yet often parents will give them grief due to ignorance.
Media : why are men angry? They probably just incels.
Not really a surprise, have you seen housing costs relative to salaries
I’m 35 and moved out when I was 18, rented until I was 32 then bought
For me I had to, living with my family wasn’t working
But buying while renting is difficult, so I fully understand staying at home and at least trying to put together a plan to buy without £1500 a month going on rent and bills
But then again, feels like buying is a pipe dream for so many. People talk about the deposit being the barrier, I think it’s affordability. X4.5 your salary isn’t much to work with when the average wage is like 33k
Not everyone has that option, I don’t. I fear I’m going to be living in a house share for the rest of my life.
34 and only just moved out this year as it was the earliest I could buy in the south east
I’d be interested to know why the rate for young women is so much lower. Is it because they get ahead earlier in life? More likely to find an older partner to live with? Less likely to compromise on their independence?
I didn’t spot it in the article, does anyone know what the suggested reasons are why men are more likely (35%) to live at home than women (22%)?
Its adults in general having to live with their parents, houses are stupidly expensive to buy, rent is extortionate due to parasite landlords buying up all the sub 100k starter homes and renting them out for £550+ p/m.
2025 28.7% of adults (20-34) live with their parents.
33.7% of men and 22.1% of women (20-34) live at home still.
People want their own space without space sharing with a bunch of strangers, miles easier to share your space with parents than a bunch of randoms in house share or HMO.
So glad managed to move out, got grating living with parents even though it was cost free.
I could give a million reasons why. So instead of doing that, i’ll just say this. Young people are being constantly fucked over and the people with power don’t care. This is their way of saying survival of the fittest.
Those smart, hardworking or have rich parents will survive. Rest will get wiped out. That’s how the wealthy and powerful see it. Even jobs aren’t secure anymore, companies are getting creative to cut people out. Yet no one will help young people. and young men especially do not even get a glance at, so what did they expect.
Is there anything really wrong with this so long as the men in question and their parents are content with each other? It’s company and gives the guys in question the option to save – for a house, for a rainy day or just because. Maybe they also help support elder parents.
Cost of living, ridiculous rents, etc. Those are bad things. But the constant shock horror that young people aren’t doing what we have decided they should be doing is tiring.
Now include those that are entirely in council housing funded by the government because if it wasn’t for that they would be living with parents too so more like 2 of 3 men.
A lot of jobs don’t pay a livable wage anymore. Let’s say you work in a supermarket and work full time, your absolute best case scenario for moving out is living in a shared rented place. Long gone are the days of supporting a family and buying property on one average income. You have to be a high earner, or sacrifice saving for years and not doing much/ living at parents to be able to have a chance at buying or living alone
Young people today – live at home with parents
– dont pay rent.
– come home and put a new audi financed a3 on the drive that cost half their monthly wages.
– proceed to act like they made it on insta
Everyone always takes the mick out of me and my wife for living at home with my Mum and brother, but I actually like living at home and feeling like a big family. We split all the bills, own the house and do things together.
It’s a shame this is so frowned upon, because whilst it’s not for everyone, it is quite nice. If we ever have children, they get to see their Grandma and uncle every day.

20-35… 35?! How is that a young man? That’s a middle aged man, surely.
I’m a woman but im in the process of moving back home w my mum. It financially is the best decision for both of us.
It’s a perfect storm of insane rent, stagnant wages, and a social stigma that just piles on. No wonder so many are stuck at home when the alternative is financial suicide. The older generation really doesn’t grasp how different the game is now.
It is weird they can’t use this data to infer why this is happening.
As someone in my thirties, it’s nice to be referred to as a ‚young‘ man again.
I’m 29 and live at home. I have enough to buy my own place and a decent job. But why should I move out just to be alone? At least I have my parents I can talk to. Given up on dating and just focused on the gym, going to concerts and gaming. I’m content and expect never to get married or have kid.
I’m 24 and I live with my mum. What’s the point? Areas around me ask for £1000 a month for a little studio flat. If I want anything cheaper, it’s renting a room in a house share with strangers. I’d rather live with my mum and have way more disposable income.
I have no interest in dating due to a mix of the dating world being garbage + it is still commonly looked down upon in dating if you’re a man still living with your parents. So I don’t bother being judged on that and I find it more peaceful to focus on myself.
With less people dating, getting married, having children etc it’s no wonder, the country is a mess.
Also, many of us went to uni when that was not the right move.
I did a law degree and spent 3 years of my life studying for no reason basically. I would have been better off working full-time immediately the moment I finished A-levels. Many others are in similar positions. Spending years at uni to essentially have to start from square 1 when you graduate and have to compete hard for minimum wage jobs.
So young people are getting their lives started at later times compared to previous generations.
Is it really just men? With the way things are going I don’t think it’s a surprise people are staying at home for longer. If anything it’s the smarter option. I know with my kids, they’ll always have a roof over their heads.
I don’t see my eldest moving out any time soon, I’ve planned for it though so won’t be an issue
What a dumb post in todays day and age when the housing market is far to expensive. Stupid.
