Anyhow, it's not as scandalous as it is in the United States.

And I also pose the question if it is right in absolute. It might be in the macho-capitalist perspective (defeat everyone else, live alone to be better than everyone else, seek the success at the expense of the inferior, success and realization are your only Gods) but is it in a Christian perspective? Is it in a perspective where inner fulfilment, health of the soul and commitment to your native environment are more important than material success?

What's wrong with renting your own home as an adult man? Is the prospect really so dreary?

Let's say you get up at 7:30am, prepare for work, travel to work, spend nine hours at work and then return to your own rented home at around 6-6:30pm. Realistically you will spending ONLY around 30% of your monthly salary on rent (with additional money on gas / petrol, clothing for work, food at work, etc) and will thus have AT LEAST 60% of that money all to yourself to buy food, clothing, internet and other necessities. In the process you will be HELPING the economy by funding the economic activity of your landlord(s), who are very likely to be an elderly couple who are looking for a reliable source of passive income or some kind of investment vehicle (e.g., hedge fund) which employs numerous staff whose salaries need to be paid somehow. Renting is the ideal form of living. It is truly Buddhist in outlook, applying the philosophy that one shouldn't be attached material things and so on.

When you eventually meet a girl, let's say she has a handful of other potential suitors lined up. It may very well be the case that your display of masculinity and maturity (i.e., by living independently) will be the detail which just about pushes her to choose you over those other suitors. Do you REALLY want to take that risk and have a girl tell you that you tick all her boxes but that she can't overlook that you spend much of your recreational time outside of work sleeping, bathing and goodness knows what else merely meters away from your MOTHER? Do you think ANY girl will fall in love with you and gossip positively about you to her confidantes knowing that she may be asked where you live and face the prospect of informing them, blushing all the while, and deeply ashamed, that you live with your mother? Very few girls would be willing to do that.

Chances are you are already on some kind of list. I can only imagine the pent-up frustration, the deeply-stored list of minor transgressions in your daily life together, side-by-side, forever rubbing against one another. I can only picture your mother quietly weeping at night while your father stares stoically at the ceiling wondering where it all went wrong, meanwhile you are in the next room playing CS:GO with a bunch of Russian twelve-year-olds and you aren't even halfway up the leaderboard. Your abstract, frankly bizarre so-called "accomplishments" (e.g., reading an obscure novel, interpreting a recently-released movie beyond a superficial level) appear to them as the ravings of a madman, a deeply stunted, very likely resentful, disturbed, childlike, leech of a human being who has identified the vulnerability of his care-givers and decided to take full advantage of that vulnerability by clinging onto them well beyond the age when such behaviour was considered cute or a sign of sensitivity. Do they proudly talk about you to their friends and family members? Of course not. At this age you are merely a spectre haunting the narrow hallways of your tiny home, someone they silently pass on the way out of the bathroom as you wait to go in and defecate another day's worth of processed food and candy that your mother, the eternal nurturer, continues to purchase for you as she did decades ago. All you would need to tell the welfare agency is that you are 29 and living with your parents and that will be sufficient for them to register you as an irredeemable mental case. Deeply sad.

Men should either live with their mothers or with their girlfriends. Women are natural caretakers, so it makes sense for them to provide for the man while he protects the property from invaders. If someone tries to break into the house, what is a woman going to do? Cry? No, men should stay at home. Women are far better at handling the petty socialization that occurs at a workplace, too. Only prejudice separates man from this harmonious order of things. Think about Plato’s Republic: the warriors spend their time training, not wasting away at a job where they are expected to assume the submissive position toward their fat-cat employers. No, much better for a woman to do this. You say you cannot get a woman this way, I say you do not understand women. Do you not know that women will seek out a man without money, given that he is ferocious enough? They are Dionysian creatures. She will seek out whoever applies the whip to her. Apply the whip to women! Make her work!

Restaurants, bars, farm houses, local craftsmanship, small boutiques. Yeah, unfortunately not much. But it's not a problem inherent in the nature of the area or the urbanistic aspect of the villages, it's merely a political problem. There are thousands of villages like that in every region, if politicians wanted they'd be thriving with jobs and activities, it's just a matter of dislocation and re-organization of the services to the population. But they want, it's written in the globalist agenda that such places must die to feed Moloch.

>1) you don't have a partner that you love
You should have found somebody by the age of twenty-five at the very latest. Anything beyond that is likely to be a case of settling for someone whose best years are also beyond them and who, like you, are just hoping to meet someone because it is marginally better than being alone. The failure to find a romantic partner by that age is likely a symptom of deranged psychological maladies or a clear sign that you have been coddled beyond repair.

>2) you don't have a job that forces you to work far from home
Even if your job is within a short distance of your family home, it would be psychologically healthier to extend your commute if it means renting a place of your own. Comfort breeds laziness, and that something that can't be fixed beyond a certain age. The clock is ticking.

>3) you don't have an obstructing family or an extremely small house that prevents you from being independent.
Your family home could be a mansion, with several spare bedrooms, but to continue to choose to live there beyond a certain age is a sign of deep psychological malady. Could the Buddha have written his perennial texts and discovered his world-changing wisdom had he remained cloistered within the confines of his princely realm? No, it took humility, courage and independence to discover the truths which are now shared by countless millions. No species-defining, world-changing literary work or philosophy will be produced by somebody who rots away in the degenerate comfort of his childhood bedroom. This fact is illustrated superbly in the 2001 anime 'Spirited Away' in which the malevolent witch keeps her gigantic, pathetic baby coddled inside a giant creche, in which he spends his time having tantrums and understanding the world only by means of the pictures of the outside world which has mother has painted on the walls surrounding him.

EU policy has all but neutered the average European farmer, and Houellebecq depicts with great solemnity the suicides of these once-venerated figures in his novels. The kind of "bars" which exist in the average Italian town and village are a mixture of tourist traps (unprofitable during the winter months) and a place in which the sad, miscast dregs of modern Italy go to distract themselves (via inebriation) from their grim reality. These aren't hot, vibrant little joints full of well-groomed olive-skinned Massimos eyeing the dark-haired Maria who sits blushing and nursing her first martini on the far side of the room. They are places of death and decay. Restaurants have about as much economic relevance in the average rustic Italian settlement. Locals crafts are well-beyond the point of obsolescence, and only a niche market of online consumers still exists to prop up the ageing diaspora of woodworkers and stone masons whose skills are no longer needed by a modern Italy of steel and plate glass. Small boutiques are again reliant on tourism, which in the post-COVID age is not at all a reliable means of income. If you want an image of modern Italy, picture a deserted street of empty stores whose owners stand in their doorways, eyes-bulging, desperately scanning the horizon for a tourist or young family on a day out shopping, only to find an elderly pair of local poverty-stricken Italians vecchios being mugged by a gang of men from Senegal.

He was acquitted of both indecency charges in 1950 and 1952.[11] After one year sheltered in a maternal uncle's flat next to Piazza Mattei, Pasolini and his 59-year-old mother moved to a run-down suburb called Rebibbia, next to a prison, for three years; he transferred his Friulan countryside inspiration to this Roman suburb, one of the infamous borgate where poor proletarian immigrants lived in often-horrendous sanitary and social conditions. Instead of asking for help from other writers, Pasolini preferred to go his own way."

When I graduated high school, my sister found a two bedroom loft that cost $750 a month. Now, a roach infested studio in the ghetto costs nearly $1000 in this town. The market has been fucked.
Such situations weren't unusual in Lovecraft's time. Men tended to marry in their later 20s, even 30s. The postwar to baby boom generation changed that, and now it's gone right back and it's even worse.
It's now a generational issue. And a lot of those who move out are living paycheck to paycheck in studios or one bedroom apartments. They're not living in houses, or accumulating wealth. They're working past part time while getting into debt via student loans.
We're becoming just like Latin America, where this is pretty common.

Getting along with your immediate family well enough to tolerate living with them into adulthood is a better place to be in life than being financially independent and, at best, sighing resentfully at the thought of any sort of reunion. Not that the two things are mutually exclusive or whatever, but my point is that anons here skriking about living w family would do well to consider how much worse things could be.

At the fin day luh semane they gonna die and you prolly not gonna be happy about it. So, it's generally best not to drag your issues with yourself into your relationships with your family because there's not a lot worse than realising somebody died while you were still on shaky terms with them, or feeling that you didn't do enough in your time together to let them know you love/appreciate them.

Nah, you're just conflating Ameripig "consoomer culture" with Western culture. Its entirely normal for adult children to live in the family home until marriage.

If it wasn't for the fact that I didn't want to live in my country of birth then I probably would have lived at home until I had the cash to buy a home and get married.

Yes because being rentoid is "financially independent", meanwhile living at home saving thousands per month to buy your own place/invest is lacking in ambition, and of course if you live in the same home as your parents you're coddled and don't contribute financially or in other important aspects.

A neighbor recounts that “Mrs. Lovecraft talked continuously of her son who was so hideous that he hid from everyone and did not like to walk upon the streets where people would gaze at him,” a statement the neighbor considered “exaggerated.” (Mrs. Lovecraft was believed not to have been told the cause of her husband’s syphilitic dementia and death, and associated Lovecraft with his father. Yet it must have been she who encouraged her son to wear his deceased father’s clothes as a young man.) It would not be until Mrs. Lovecraft died while institutionalized, when Lovecraft was thirty-one years old, that he would try to free himself, at least sporadically, from his housebound, claustrophobic existence."
