may i ask a dumb question here , but why is that seen as an issue for some people , because it was common decades ago to be living at home at near 30
Its a great country. If only we could export the problem.
As a 26 year old, this certainly tallies with my experience: over half, maybe 2/3. The rental crisis across the entire country is arguably the worst in the developed world. An astounding lack of availability of places, never mind the cost.
Spare a thought for us culchies who don’t have the option of living at home due to our jobs location 😔
Is this 62% of 25 year olds live with parents or of those 25 year olds that do live with their parents 62% do so due to finances
I emigrated 3 times for a couple of years at a time to different countries. Came back each time and back again now, but no way in hell was I living with my parents.
We’re not ready for the fallout from this that’ll come in the next 10 years or so. I was in this position till earlier this year when I was lucky enough to get a job that paid way more than my old place. Living with your parents holds you back in so many ways, even if it is good for your finances.
*”Ah shur look best to have the kids around for as long as I can, not like they’ll visit when am in the nursing home anyway, they’ll live to far away”*
The way things are this doesn’t even seem that mad. 25 has become essentially a college student in the eyes of society whereas 20 years ago you’d have been a fully fledged adult forever better and worde
Im between my sisters and parents house and I work full time. Just didn’t think I’d be in this situation at 28
“Ireland is the old sow that eats her farrow”…as true then, as it is now.
It sucks just a bit. I was out at 19 and I was already behind my mates who left earlier. They’re missing out on so much drinking, smoking and riding. It’s a scandal!
and I wonder what percentage are currently in temporary shared student accommodation who will have to move straight back in with parents at the end of the college year?
It’s the parents I feel sorry for.
Although this is mainly due to government, this also comes down to how lazy some people are, everyone knows by now a low paying job will not be able to house you anymore and you need to obtain skills to get you paid more and get into the housing market, yet few actually bother to obtain skills that will get them paid well enough to do so
So glad we have the government that tanked the economy last time in again with the biggest landlord in the dáil getting a special boy position so we can finally fix this issue
31 tomorrow, still at home. Very thankful to have a roof over my head but endlessly frustrated over how stunted my adult life has been with one global crisis after another. All feels very half lived… love my folks to death but can’t help but feel having us all under one small roof past its sell-by date is damaging our relationship for the long term.
Is it any wonder? Wages don’t match the costs of living here, they don’t build anything because everyone complains it will wreck their view and the government do nothing. It’s ridiculous, the attitude of “well I’m sorted” has ruined society.
Graduating college this year and the harsh realities of what lies ahead is startling. Realistically you need to be earning 60-70k in Dublin to be able to rent and still be able to save something for a deposit.
I never really minded living with my parents. My child can live with me long as it’s convenient to him. I’d rather he had the money than some random landlord. I’ve had to live in house shares with other people lots of times and I’d much rather my own family to all of them. More people in the house is always preferable than living alone to me.
It’s horrid. I’m nearly 25, studying a masters at the moment but will definitely be emigrating. I’ve little chance otherwise and in the country I’m looking at going to, I’ve better chances. The rent is much cheaper there.
It’s an absolute disgrace there’s going to be real social problems rising from this. I live in the family home it’s 5 grown adults and a toddler crammed into a 3 bed house, we are all working full time and none of us have a chance.
Going onto 27, left last year to try to find a job abroad and wasn’t successful due to my limited experience, came back to grind up a bit more career exp points maybe get promoted to senior on paper, not even bothering to look as the best I could squeeze out of a mid software position was 40k a year and last I checked a studio/1bed in Dublin is 2k a month…No point in moving to a house share as it’s just more stress living with strangers.
It’s simply not feasible for majority to rent…. unfortunately the way things are,
Their best investment in their future would be to save up and move overseas,there’s no future here for most young people that will see them prosper
An article was on RTE there recently basically trolling about this. It said the younger generation shouldn’t bother trying to own and just wait to inherit from parents. Also suggesting that having a mortgage was too complex and you’d have a much simpler life by waiting to inherit a home. I’m expecting to see that narrative pushed a lot more in the next few years as RTE exists only to appease the establishment
Living abroad and regularly check Daft.ie due to homesickness. The absolutely horrific state of the apartments that are available. Disheartening but a good soother for the sickness.
The house I could barely afford has just gone up in price again. I’ll never break this cycle and I’m in my 30s. Fuck this place
Now give me the breakdown of these who still vote FG
