In some countries, more and more adults are continuing to live with their parents even after they have completed education and found jobs. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

It is true that there is an increasing number of school leavers who prefer staying in the same house with their
parents

parents
can be seen as primary merits for
this
tendency, I strongly believe that the drawbacks regarding their ability to be self-sufficient are more significant. On the one hand, by living with
parents
after graduating, young
people
do not have to worry about their living expenses and could save the money they have earned from their jobs. They may wish to buy or rent their own house before getting married or some of them need to keep paying for their academic loans after graduation. They make a calculation
