Leaving home at 33: ‘How do I do it without breaking my mum's heart?' man asks
SINGAPORE: At age 33, one Reddit user just took a big step—he is finally getting out of his parents' house and renting a place he can call his own. By some standards, this can be viewed as 'late', and the reactions and feelings tied to this phase of life are real, raw, and completely applicable to many. 'My mom has been incredibly supportive, helping me with things like packing utensils and cookware,' he shared in his post. 'However, deep down, she's also sad that I'm leaving. How can I make this transition smoother for her?' It's an expected intersection in most people's lives: eagerness to be independent, combined with the sentimental pull of parting from a lifetime of shared habits. And as many fellow Redditors joined in, it was obvious that he wasn't alone in his predicament. 'She'll get used to it—eventually' One other netizen, also 33 and renting his own place, gave an earnest encouragement: 'She'll get used to it after a while. What you should do is visit her often. I visit mine twice a week—and nowadays, they actually tell me to stop coming by so much!' The sentiment was echoed by another Redditor who took a more measured style. 'I moved into my own place at 30, but I started planting the idea in their heads when I was 28,' he explained. 'We started with weekly video calls, then met in person every other week. Now it's a mix of WhatsApp messages and occasional restaurant meetups.' It's not about distance—It's about connection The most common suggestion is to maintain constant communication, no matter how far or near one moves. 'Will you be renting a place far from your current home?' inquired one commenter. 'If it's close, maybe go home for meals often. I had a friend who moved out after getting married, and she and her husband made it a habit to visit each other's parents every Monday, alternating weeks.' Another offered practical guidance: 'Call or text them regularly. Go home for meals or order in. And bring them to see your new place—it helps make them feel included in your next chapter.' A transition for both sides What's apparent from the thread is that moving out, even in your 30s, is not just about searching for and finally finding your own space. It's also about reshaping your relationship with the people who served as a continuous source of support. For this Redditor—and many others like him—it's not just about evacuating a childhood bedroom or finally leaving a teenager's sanctuary. It's about creating newfangled rituals, keeping relationships strong, strengthening established bonds, and discreetly guiding loved ones through the transformed stage. Moving out is a game-changer at any age. But as the Redditors gently remind, with a dash of intention and a lot of heart, the changeover doesn't have to mean growing separately or drifting apart; it only means walking in a new direction.

He's only up the road, can't have him too far. "I've told him I want you to invite us for dinner.' And he's already got a warning for his son: 'He's good at cooking. He's learned a few dishes. But he's on repeat. "He keeps repeating the same dishes. I'm like, 'bro, you've got to work on some new recipes…' Proud Pete, who was chatting to The Sun as he promoted his new film Jafaican, added: 'But yeah, he's a good boy.

Junior added to OK!: "We're young and not putting any pressure on ourselves, that's all that matters. "We want to travel and do amazing things. "But we're with each other, aren't we?

A Redditor Asks If It Makes More Sense To Live With Their Parents For A Few Years Or Move Out Sooner: 'We're Aiming To Save $200,000 Or More'
When is a good time to move out of the house? The answer varies for everyone, but some people stay home longer to save money. A couple finds themselves in this situation and currently lives in a private space on one of the parents' properties. The spouse who posted about it on Reddit makes close to $100,000 per year. The couple is maxing out their retirement accounts and is saving money to buy a house. "We're aiming to save $200,000 or more," the Redditor stated. Don't Miss: 'Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — However, the couple is deciding if they want to save enough to pay off 50% of the property or make a cash purchase by living with the parents for a little longer. It is a private space, which is more accommodating than most set-ups, but is it still a good idea to drag it out? Redditors shared their thoughts in the comments. The benefits of free housing are undeniable. You can save money without having to worry about a mortgage. However, it can get more difficult when you want to start a family with a partner, and that's where the personal element of personal finance comes into play. "You are the only person that knows your parents and your partner. If you think you can live with them and not cause a rift between either the relationship with your parents, your partner, or with your parents and your partner then go for it," one of the top commenters stated. However, the individual also mentioned that housing prices can continue to go up while the couple waits. It's unlikely that they will go up higher than the amount that the couple will save each year by not moving out right away, but it is a factor to consider. Trending: Nancy Pelosi Invested $5 Million In An AI Company Last Year — It's a significant decision to move out of the house or stay put, and it gets more important when you throw in a partner. One commenter emphasized the importance of making sure everyone is on the same page before making a decision. "If you get along with your parents, your spouse gets along with them, and everybody agrees on what is expected then this is the best approach." Right now, it seems like everyone is on the same page. The couple and parents should regularly monitor the situation to see if it still works for everyone. If you agree on responsibilities, when the parents get to hang out with the couple, when the couple gets private time, and other details, it's easier to make it at home is quite beneficial if you can make it work. Not only will you save money, but the responsibilities may also be split up between the couple and the parents. For instance, it's easier to perform tasks like laundry, grocery store visits, and cleaning if there are four people involved instead of two people. "Living at home and keeping my costs low is what gave me the flexibility to choose my path in life," one commenter explained. This arrangement can make homeownership more feasible. Right now, the couple and parents seem to agree. The Redditor may want to re-explore this conversation if things are no longer working out or when the couple hits their target of $200,000 in savings.

I love my mum but living with her at 38 was awful
Like many older millennials, I have left home a few times. The first time was going to university, with a car full of rah-rah skirts and boob tubes. The second was at 25, after a three-year stint moving back in with my mum as I completed various internships. And the last time was this year, when I, my one-year-old daughter and my husband moved out of my mum's bungalow because the house we'd been renovating for months was finally ready. Honestly? That moment couldn't have come soon enough. Let's get the pleasantries out of the way first: I love my mum very much. She's lived alone since my parents divorced years ago and sold our family home. However, the past few months have taught me
