Is it embarrassing to live with your parents at 21?

I’m a 21yo guy and I still live with my parents vecause their house is absolutely amazing. It’s about 800 square meters so with 3 stories. We have our own pool and everyone has a bathroom and shower attached to their room as well as a balcony.

    It’s a blessing to have a root over your head be thankful and show your parents your gratitude many people don’t have all you do regardless of age if it’s ok with your parents for you to still be there at 21 years old being so young still stay put it’s not already a bowl of cherries in the outside world as the saying goes cherish your youth and time at home it’s plenty of time to be a real grown up soon enough. Stay humble.

    Adult children may come and go for some time and for various reasons, such as economics, convenience, and even because everyone still enjoys it.  I wouldn't worry about it, unless your parents are concerned that you still need to be launched and the time may be overdue.  Your description is lovely. I wouldn't mind living in such a home, myself.

    No, not in this economy coming out of a pandemic. But, hopefully, you are going to school and working, so you can provide for yourself one day!

    Embarrassing is subjective. But you shouldn't squander the opportunity you're being given. Make sure you're saving a lot of money or working towards a well paying job so you can be independent one day.

    If your parents are letting you live at home consider yourself lucky and avail of the opportunity as long as you. Start putting away whatever money you are saving on food, rent, and utilities and start investing it. Go to Schwab or similar company and put your money into a broad Mutual Fund or ETF.

    Makes sense to me. Living alone is expensive and lonely. Having room mates is often hellish. If you have family you get on with quite well and that family has room and wants to share a home, then why not? Why you lose in privacy you gain in money and convenience. OK so the 22 year old me can't bring a gentleman friend over for an afternoon of sexy fun and games. But the 22 year old me can do camping weekend away from home -- or check into a hotel for a weekend now and then.
