The survey, from financial comparison site Finder, asked 1,010 Australians to weigh in on how old was "too old" to be still living in the family home, with the average Australian saying 31-years-old was the cut-off date.

I guess it all comes down to the family, personally I do not see anything wrong with multiple generations living under one roof especially with the housing prices the way they are now, it's economical and ecological

It's pretty normal in some parts of the world. I've never really understood this superiority complex some young adults have for moving out early when they can't even perform simple tasks like cooking food for themselves.

Yeah I think it's just this big independence push but now I'm trying to figure out if that was some organic thing, or if it was all just set up that way so they could sell more homes and furniture and dishes and appliances and carpet and repairs etc etc. Did young adults always move out as fast as they could or is that a pretty recent thing? I'm guessing it's pretty recent

@joeljoelle @Ilandar I would say something that is maximum 4 generations old. Starting in the 50s... As the baby boomers found independence quickly in the west bounding off the wealth explosion and equality following ww2, then the uber rich didn't like it, so swung the pendulum hard the other way, so wealth would pile up under them again like pre ww1.

Having a cut off date is silly. Circumstances vary wildly and there is no "too old" to be living in the family home.
