    I’d rather not live anywhere, penniless and in insurmountable debt, than live with my parents ever again.

      You wouldn’t have to live with your parents if the people who still have a good relationship with theirs stayed there.

      I literally won’t be able to live “with” my parents because my father was taken from us by covid in 2022 and my mother is on her last leg after a stroke, furthermore I don’t plan on becoming a parent myself - BUT I do entirely plan to fill this house with found family.

      If you’re a loner who doesn’t want to live with anyone, ever, then that’s great for you. The majority of people are generally more socially connected to one another and naturally gravitate into tribal groups. If more people embraced that instinct, that’d mean more potential places to live opening up for loners like you.

        TIL not wanting to live with my parents makes me a loner.

        Re-reading, it sounds like you want to live on shared land with some sort of multigenerational found family.

        That’s … that sounds like a cult. I’m not knocking cults, I think starting a cult would be cool as hell. Pool resources, buy land, build a compound, and start doing cult shit? Fuck yes.

        But, like … most people don’t want that shit. They want to live with the people they love and can cohabitate with.

          What do you think a found family is if not people you love and can cohabitate with? I don’t have to be related to people to care about them and want to be around them.
