Band 7

More and more adults have continued to live with their parents for many years after they have completed education and found jobs. Do the advantages of this choice outweigh the disadvantages?

#adults #parents #years #education #jobs #choice
There is a trend in many countries that many young
adults
 continue to live with their families after they have stable work and life. It is a controversial topic and some
people
 believe it
benefits
both
 generations. In my opinion, I agree with these
people
 and I think
this
 tendency has more
benefits
 than drawbacks.
First
 and foremost, living with the elderly could significantly lower the living cost for
both
 young
adults
 and their
parents
. To be more specific, young
adults
 do not need to pay rent and other basic living costs individually.
Instead
 of paying more than half a portion of their salary on rent, they could use that money to share the electric and gas bill with their
parents
.
Therefore
,
both
 parties could benefit from living together and save money for the future.
Furthermore
, the advantages of living together not only focus on the economic area but
also
 improve living quality for each other.
For instance
, the elderly may have some medical conditions and need help from their child. Living together could ensure they have
people
 to count on if they have an emergency.
Nevertheless
, young
adults
 need to learn to be independent as soon as possible. Living with
parents
 may lead to a continuous habit of depending on
parents
 when they face some difficulties, which is not an ideal circumstance for them to start their own family after years.
Consequently
,
although
 living with
parents
 has lots of
benefits
 for
both
 parties, there are still some drawbacks that need to be avoided. In conclusion, the younger generations choose to live with the elderly even if they completed their education is a trend in some societies. And it certainly shows more advantages than disadvantages and its
benefits
 for young
people
 and their
parents
.
