Nowadays, it is observed that the tendency of grown-ups
living with their parents even though they are economically ready to live
independently, they are called ‘Kangaroos tribe’ as it resembles the way
kangaroos nurture their joy in the pouch. Some people argue that this
life-style is beneficial economically, and there is a more persuasive argument
that it only results in prevalent of irresponsibility.
To begin with, the grown-ups who postpone moving out from their parents have a higher chance of achieving their financial goals earlier than their peers, such as buying a house or investing in stocks. Because they can save a significant amount of regular expenditure on rents and utilities. For example, most of the young people who live independently pay nearly half of their salary on housing and utility bills, and then spend the rest of the money on food or entertainment which lead to fewer savings for the future.
On the other hand, there also are drawbacks in living with parents after children are old enough since all-grown-up children do not have opportunities to be fully in charge of their lives and solve problems by themselves end up having lack of responsibility. For instance, many young individuals who live with their parents tend to neglect their household duties such as cleaning or laundry, even doing the dishes after meals. Moreover, their lack of responsibilities reflects in their character, so more employees are becoming less responsible at work and which loose the culture at the workplace.
To conclude, co-living with parent’s even after children are fully ready to live independently is beneficial because they have a better chance to reach their financial goals earlier than their peers. However, I believe that the negative effects such as lack of responsibility in the house and the workplace because they haven’t had the chance to be responsible and solve problems by themselves, outweighs the benefits. |
