While I certainly don’t advocate for victim mentality, I can’t judge all 30+ somethings living with their parents for their situation. This generation didn’t get many breaks: lack of employment opportunities post 08 crisis (their prime years to get started on a professional path), rising costs of living, unaffordable housing, lack of long term employment security, bleak climate outlook, growing totalitarianism and lack of hope, Covid, rising cost of education, unpayble student loans, ever-growing skillset required for good positions, more inflation.
Ya, you could pull yourself through all of these and be fine if you worked hard enough, made smart decisions and were ahead of the curve, but previous generations had it much easier.
You’ve got to play the hand you’re dealt, but we can still have some sympathy and reserve judgment at an individual level. Not everyone is a lazy couch potato.

Ask him if he’s dating anyone, he tells me it’s hard when you live at home with your parents.
