Im 35 years old and live with my 81 year old grandmother
I was one of those who was able to move away from home a few months shy of turning 24, without having to reverse course.
Some in that situation might say "well *I* did this this, or that", as if it was all their doing.
I'll tell you straight up, it's because I've been blessed. Likely didn't even deserve that level of grace at times.
During the Great Recession of the late 2000s and the last few years of Covid, I literally never missed a paycheck.
Anything less could have very easily caused me to have to make living arrangements similar to yours. Most people are just 1 major negative event away from having to completely alter their living situations.

I feel like a loser. I have lived on my own before but got tired of renting so my grandma let me live with her so I can save money on a downpayment on a house. I'm not a freeloader I pay her 500 dollars a month for bills, and I help her out since she has Arthirtis in her hands. I know this is a temporary situation but i still feel like a complete loser. It would be one thing if I was 25 but I'm in my mid 30s no kids never been married and dont date becaose what woman would want to date a 35 year old man living with his grandmother. Be honest should I feel this way?
