Pearl - When Women Refuse To Leave Home

00:00:00.000 What up guys! Welcome to my reaction series. Today we're talking about modern women still 1.00

00:00:04.540 living with their parents. The narrative is in 2025 that women are doing better than they ever 0.73

00:00:09.760 have. They have all these degrees, make all this money, but that couldn't be further from the truth.

00:00:14.960 Modern women make less than men, spend more, and get laid off more than men. This has led many of 1.00

00:00:20.200 them to move back in with their parents because of their financial situation. Let's look at the

00:00:24.700 women that still live with their parents. I don't know why some girls trying to make me feel bad 1.00

00:00:32.480 about living with my parents. Yes, I'm 25. Yes, I live with my parents. And honestly, it's the best

00:00:38.360 thing for me mentally, physically, and also for my wallet mentally because I cannot stand being alone

00:00:44.400 all day and not being able to talk to anybody. I love when my parents get back from work and we get

00:00:49.920 to talk about our day. I love spending time with them. They're amazing. They're just humans. Like

00:00:55.020 if you think about it, they're just humans. Yeah, a little older, but they're humans just as me.

00:01:00.640 It's like having roommates. It's literally the same. I do pay bills in my house. I do help with

00:01:07.720 groceries. So it's literally like having roommates, but I have my own room and they're my parents and

00:01:13.460 my brother. So I get to have more like, I don't know, like connection with them. If we get mad,

00:01:19.640 if we get angry, we know that the next day we will be completely fine. In Colombia, where I come

00:01:24.780 from, it's extremely normal, like completely normal not to get out of your parents' house until you get

00:01:31.820 married and you go and live with your husband. Like it's super weird people living with friends.

00:01:37.420 There's pros and cons to this. I'm going to say women that live with their parents. They tend to 1.00

00:01:45.020 be less of hoes, right? Especially if they're younger. I mean, they'll still glut or whatever, 1.00

00:01:50.480 but it's going to be a little more, it's just a barrier to entry, right? They'll find a way,

00:01:55.880 but they'll just be a little bit, it's a little bit more difficult. However, the downside

00:02:01.640 is at times, um, they've made some bad decision and that's how they ended up in this situation.

00:02:12.160 A lot of times it's debt. Like that's not something that happens in Colombia at all. If someone moves

00:02:17.860 from their parents' house is because they are actually getting married or some people don't

00:02:22.600 get married, but actually go and live with their partner. So no, I'm not going to feel shame about

00:02:29.140 living with my parents because I'm 25. Age is just a number. We support each other in this house,

00:02:35.240 mentally, physically, with literally everything. And I love it here. The environment is the best

00:02:40.680 thing for me. And I have zero shit. It's just the only thing that also happens is it just, 0.99

00:02:45.220 they don't like, we don't mentally become adults at some point. So when you get like the women that 1.00

00:02:50.520 are like 32 and they're mentally still teenagers, it's because they haven't really had to solve their

00:02:57.440 own problems ever. Same. Also my mom, she has been my biggest supporter, my biggest rock and

00:03:05.380 motivation to keep going. Everything. When I was deep, she was the only one there for me. Literally

00:03:11.680 the only one. My mom, when I was at the hospital sleeping in that bed, she was there for me. She

00:03:18.700 will go for work and then come back every single day. She'll have to drive an hour every single day 1.00

00:03:26.260 to do that for me because she loves me and I love her. So yeah, she's my best friend. I tell her

00:03:31.740 everything and I don't care. I have zero shame. I understand it's not the same for everyone. And

00:03:36.940 I understand that some people don't have this type of connection with their parents, with their

00:03:40.960 family, but I do. All right, let's see who's next. Let's face it. Our generation is in a testosterone

00:04:57.080 Living with your parents in your 20s, it's totally normal. It's really not that bad. But something

00:05:01.760 that's never talked about is dating in your 20s while you're still living with your parents.

00:05:06.900 My parents are always up in my business. When am I going to meet him? When is he going to come over?

00:05:12.600 He's not. Also, if he doesn't live with his parents and you go and stay the night at their place

00:05:20.920 and then you come home the next morning, it's just really weird walking into your parents' house

00:05:27.920 after spending the night at a guy's house.

00:05:31.100 Yeah, you're going to get a million questions and half the family's going to know.

00:05:36.840 Yeah, you got to afford an apartment as a woman if you want to date. 1.00

00:05:42.780 Because then the other issue the guy is going to have is she's going to be getting information

00:05:51.460 from the parents. You're going to have the parents in your relationship. It's trust. After 22,

00:05:59.320 she's got to go if she wants to date. 0.99

00:06:01.900 I'm 26 years old, I'm unemployed, and I live at home with my parents. That's not true. I'm 27.

00:06:08.880 When I moved off to college, I thought I was done with living under my parents' roof for the rest

00:06:13.660 of my life. I thought when you flew the nest, you flew the nest for good. I remember my aunt telling me,

00:06:19.360 just you wait. And since graduating, I have moved home twice. Once during the pandemic and once

00:06:26.940 recently when I got deported from the UK. Life throws crazy curveballs and you never know what's

00:06:32.580 going to hit you. And it's hard sometimes to come on this app and see 18-year-olds making hundreds of

00:06:37.300 thousands of dollars and seeming to know what they're going to do for the rest of their life.

00:06:41.560 When for most of us, that is just not the case at all. I mean, I don't know what I'm going to be doing

00:06:48.060 five years from now, let alone next week, let alone what I'm having for dinner tonight. But I like to

00:06:53.000 play this game where I think of my life as a movie. And if I was watching all the events unfold on the

00:06:58.540 big screen that led me to move home, I would be sitting there eating my fucking popcorn, having the 0.99

00:07:05.000 best time watching things unfold. All this to say, comparison is really fucking easy and it's hard 0.98

00:07:11.740 sometimes to feel like you're behind. Yeah, whenever we take an L in life, like men take L's and they just 0.91

00:07:16.220 have to eat it. But women always say don't compare. But like people compare you, you know, people are

00:07:22.520 going to do that for you. So it doesn't really matter. But everyone's on their own timeline and

00:07:29.080 you know, you just took an L. Just eat it. It's all right. It happens to the best of us. All right,

00:07:33.360 let's see. We got Lindsay next. I'm 36 and I still have my parents. Here's my story and how I came to

00:07:40.320 be living with them. Went to university at 18, moved out of home to the full experience. Graduated in law and

00:07:45.760 2008, which was obviously a pretty crappy year to graduate. In September 2009, I saw for Australia

00:07:50.500 and New Zealand for a few months by myself. Had the most amazing time. And then I came back to work

00:07:54.840 for a British ski company in France. I then ended up doing four years of summer and winter seasons,

00:08:00.580 back to back and lots of solo travel in between. I love Sydney so much. And she spent all her money

00:08:06.180 on travel. That's how. 2009, I decided to move there in 2013. These never happens. So I'll move back to the

00:08:12.460 UK in 2014. And I got myself a job at a bank in London. In 2017, I then had the opportunity to

00:08:17.940 move to Singapore. Life in Singapore was fantastic. And this is also the first time I ever got to

00:08:22.460 afford to live by myself too. In 2020, COVID hit. And thank God I had my dog to live with me because

00:08:28.000 it was pretty tough living alone, especially in the country with such strict rules. It would also

00:08:32.240 help me realise that despite the successful career I'd created for myself and the amazing lifestyle I had,

00:08:36.660 I was actually pretty miserable. I hated my job. I was pretty lonely. And thanks a lot. So I just

00:08:42.940 wasn't enough. So in 2021, I took the big leap to move back. I'm not hot enough to get the attention

00:08:48.380 I used to. I came to the UK. So now I can't afford my lifestyle. So I got to move home. I intended to

00:08:54.260 still be living with my parents. As I'm still single, I'm just not in a hurry to move up by myself

00:08:58.040 anywhere, even though I can, I can afford to. So my reason for staying here is... Oh, I was wrong. I was

00:09:03.160 wrong. I guess she says she has the money. Just because I want to. And that's reason enough.

00:09:07.760 All right. Let me know what you guys think. Yeah. Well, that's translation. I like my parents

00:09:11.820 and I like men better than I like men is what it is. Ready with me? Why?

00:09:18.100 Talk about how I'm 25 and I still love my parents. Like I said, I'm 25 years old and I still love my

00:09:22.680 parents. Graduated college in 2021. I got a college degree, basically everything that you're supposed to

00:09:29.000 do. I lived by myself in college. So after I graduated, I moved back in with my family.

00:09:33.400 Definitely grateful. I have a good relationship with my parents. It's also hard because I like

00:09:37.080 my own space learning from when I was in college and I really valued my space. Let my friends live

00:09:41.400 by themselves or with their partners. And so sometimes I feel like I'm behind because I'm

00:09:48.240 still trying to figure out life and I'm still living with my parents. A year or so, I criticize

00:09:52.140 myself a little bit more than I do now because it's not bad to live with your parents, especially

00:09:57.440 you have a good relationship. The amount of people I talk to, we talk about life and

00:10:01.360 things that's going on. Women. And sometimes. See, the thing is men actually live at home

00:10:06.380 to save money. Women live at home usually because they took an L. Like the men I know living at 1.00

00:10:10.980 home, they have enough money saved to buy a house. The women I know living at home, including 1.00

00:10:17.260 me for the past year, I mean, it was because I took an L. Yeah. I feel really embarrassed.

00:10:23.300 I lived with my parents. I don't anymore and I don't need to be because it's normal.

00:10:27.100 It's normal to live with your parents, especially in your twenties. I used to think in my teens

00:10:30.800 and my early twenties, people would be like, Oh my God, like you still with your parents,

00:10:33.940 but it's completely not it at all. Now we like to compare ourselves and like what other

00:10:38.020 people are doing in their lives, but you can't compare yourself to anyone. Like the only thing

00:10:43.180 you really need to focus on is you, your life. That's it. In your own life, you're figuring

00:10:48.340 yourself out. I'm 25 years old. That's still a young age. I don't have to have every single

00:10:53.460 little thing figured out. The shows and movies and even YouTube videos I watched when I was

00:10:57.340 younger didn't really help my mental process about like my age, because I would see people

00:11:01.940 be like getting married in their twenties and having a house and all these tired things.

00:11:06.660 But that's not reality because rent prices are ridiculously insane. Don't feel bad or embarrassed

00:11:12.740 that you're still living with your parents. So if you have a good relationship with your

00:11:15.760 parents, this is a great like golden time that you have with your family.

00:11:19.420 I also take care of my grandparents. This is a time that I take in every single day.

00:11:25.300 I can't imagine being without them. The amount of time you're with them that you are never

00:11:30.860 going to get again.

00:11:31.540 All right. Um, that is actually a plus is you get to spend more time.

00:11:37.020 Um, okay. Well, let me know if you know a lot of women that are living with their parents 1.00

00:11:41.460 and what their life is like and why they're living with their parents. From what I've seen,

00:11:45.100 it's usually a lot of debt or bad financial decision. Um, anyways, guys, make sure you

00:11:50.380 like the video on your way out, subscribe to the channel and I'll see you next time. Bye.

00:11:53.540 Bye.
