    I’m 40 and live with my mom. I have a full time job but don’t make enough to live on my own in today’s economy. It has been just me and my mom since my parents divorced when I was 9. She is now at the age where her memory is starting to fail and she is having more accidents. So me living at home really benefits both of us.

    I'm 34 and my sister is 28. We still live with our parents, and there's no shame in it. Live alone with an expensive rent in this economy? Not for me. We get along well compared with the majority of other families, so I don't see me moving any time soon.

      I'm 33 and also still live with my Mum! 😊We're Asians though, so it has always been the norm for children to still live with their parents until they get married, even when they're adults. Most of my unmarried friends also still live with their parents. My Mum has just been on an accident too, so it's nice to be able to help her out.

My brother moved out when he was 30 years old and it's why he could afford to buy his house! So good for him.

    I'm 33, have owned and lost my own home and have rented, now back living with family where the mortgage is already paid, there's space for all my stuff and I pay a fraction of what I did before. I absolutely support anyone who stays home as long as they can and also in more cultures than not it is normal to always live with family! That sounds like a landlord that needs reporting to be honest, if nothing else that's a health hazard he's ignored! I love that you're already happier in your new home and I wish you all the best with your new place!

    I’m 29 and still live at home, it’s perfectly normal in Latin America. I’ve never felt weird about it. If I didn’t get along with my parents or had no privacy or wanted to leave, I would, but it’s never been something I feel like I need to do for other people to think I’m a grownup or serious person. It’s such a silly expectation in other cultures imo.

    I lived with my parents until last year when I was 30 and only moved out finally because I had enough saved for a deposit for a mortgage which makes my flat way cheaper than a rented one and it's all mine! So worth doing and no shame in staying with family! I love my parents and had no issues living with them but they wanted to move and downsize and I wanted my own place near my work. Now I have a cute little home with a cat and I'm very happy :) this is a joy to watch and I love your cats so much! Being from Newcastle watching you always feels like just hanging out with a friend :)

    Hi Gavin! My parents paid my rent until I moved with my partner at 28, it is just the way life is. With what I earned I couldn’t support myself, I lived in a not so safe area, but it was near work and it was the cheapest I could find. So ignore people who say mean things. XOXO

    You should always go through the real estate for repairs and stuff, and email it to them, that way it’s in writing and there’s a record so that if the landlord ignores you or tries to pretend you never told them, you can show your emails

    When I was in college I moved in with my grandmother and been living with her since and I'm 34. There is no shame in it. Having another person in the house eased my relatives mind, and especially currently now she is in need of a caregiver.
    Moving story though - back in August my parents and brother were moving from an apartment to a new house, my mother diligently packed as much as she could, and day of the move my brother went there with one of the dogs to help unpack the boxes from the trucks while I stayed behind with another dog at the apartment and help with any last minute packing. Come to find out my brother barely packed ANYTHING up in his room so I was scrambling to help pack up the 80% of what he left unpacked since we had to be out by the end of the day. We managed but oh boy wasn't everyone pissed by that situation on top of the general moving stress.

    I feel you on the family drama with moving. I had to BEG my brother and father to help me move last time I changed apartments, and they did nothing but yell at me & made it seem like I owed them the world because they finally bothered to lift a finger to help me. Mind you, I did ALL the smaller stuff by myself- it was only the larger furniture I needed their help on. Never again. No matter how much it costs, I am absolutely hiring movers next time instead of trying to rely on my family.

    Congrats on moving (pretty) successfully! My biggest moving nightmare was in 2021. I live in Japan at the moment, and I was moving from Shizuoka Prefecture to Yokohama City, leaving one teaching company for another because my original company was taking SO LONG to place me even knowing I wouldn't be able to stay because I had to drive to the schools there, and my license was expiring in March. Long story short, I had a literal 2 weeks to find an apartment, go through the application process and be approved, pack, and officially move, because I had to get out of my other apartment by a certain date. And it was prime moving season, so finding a moving company who wasn't booked at that time was a nightmare.

I'm mostly staying to help my parents with their bills (because they have been struggling and are close to finally paying off their mortgage). Aside from helping, it also allows me to save up to hopefully afford a down-payment for a place with my fiancé. No shame in having to live with family to make ends meet!

    I moved out of my Mom's house and into an apartment in my grandmother's house when l was 17. That way, l could have my own space, but be close enough to help out my grandma when she needed it. In 2020, when l was 29, l moved out fully on my own. I have been on my own since. Athough, now that l have a good job, the plan has always been for my Momma to move in with me once she retires. There should be no shame in living with your parents! Family is meant to support each other!

    Ugh I had a similar moving experience. I knew I wanted out of my last home almost immediately, but ended up staying there for 5 years (mostly because my rent never went up during the pandemic lol). I moved this Feburary and I was convinced my new landlord had ghosted me because I got my keys 2 days late. It was still a day before my lease officially started so it was fine, but stressful. I was convinced I got scammed. I hope you love your new house! The wallpaper in the living room is so pretty! I can't wait to see how cozy you make it!!

My parents are thankfully the best people in the world and I feel super safe and comfortable with them but my ultimate dream is to one day move states and live with my partners 😊 but right now thats pretty much a pipe dream lol

    Love the new place Gav.. Where the garden is concerned..cats just jump up onto the fences no problem at all.. I've had cats and 6ft fences are no problem to fit cats.. Once they start exploring they will start to go further afield but usually come and go once they have lived there for a while.. Maybe you should take them out in the garden with cat leashes if you don't want them going further..but I reckon once they get used to it they will start to go further. They are already interested in the garden sitting at the window.. Good luck in your new home..✨✨❤❤

    That's called a Juliet balcony. Imagine the photo/video possibilities!! ☺️ Congrats on your new home, enjoy it. I'm also moving on Monday 8 July.

    I need to start decluttering my house asap now as my move’s creeping closer but it’s so daunting! This has motivated me to get a move on though😅

    That's some crazy moving day shenanigans from your estate agent! Hopefully by now cats are approved. This looks like a much cozier place than your last place

    As someone who has moved 11 times in 12 years, it honestly never gets easier, you always end up with loads of crap to declutter and is hell everytime 😂😂 you did amazing packing so much so earlier!

    ÅH! (as we say in sweden) 😍 I am so envious of your new reading nook, I want one but we have no space for one. Looks so cosy!

    Hi! I had to move out of a place that had stairs and what I did was get a storage unit for a few months so that I could slowly move all my belongings out without having a terribly difficult “moving day”. If it’s in your budget I would really recommend that

    Bravo Gavin!!! I hope you have many wonderful memories in your new home! That garden looks lush for new beginnings. Spacious kitchen, and the living area looks very cozy! I can't wait to see the bookshelves up and filled. You can never have too many toilets, imo. I love split shower and tub layouts! I hope your lego sets are repairable! Katie is a huge Thursday Murder Club fan. She has a vlog or two of her reading them. Apologies if you are already aware of that 😉 I enjoyed this update a lot😊 Happy unpacking and creating your home 🥂

    My heart goes out to you Gavin ❤ you must have been very stressed. Happy you are now settled.
    I feel like people who deal with moving have never moved themself or something. They don't understand how stressful it as and that it's very important to communicate well and on time.

    I didn't move out of my family's home until last year at thirty lol honestly would have liked to save up more money before moving out but there were 5 ppl living in a three bedroom house and there were some safety issues that convinced me I needed to move. And I love having my own space but could do without living paycheck to paycheck.
    I'm so glad you've moved in, and I hope all the last-minute things that were brought up work out for you!! The house is absolutely adorable!
