Yes- as long as you are in school and/or working. If your sitting on your butt doing nothing- no.

If you and your family are comfortable with each other then why not? I'm 24 and live at school during the school year and on breaks I live with them. At 20 years old you are just a few years out of high school and either in college or working at a job. If you need to take the time to get on your feet, then use it. Your family is there to catch you when you fall. Just don't be the kid who doesn't ever leave...our parents are probably looking forword to retirement with out kids in the house.

In India joint family system is still popular.The family is huge which gave children a good supporting environment.You can share your problem with grand mother,grandfather,uncle,aunt.Your cousions are with you for playing.So their is a bond of love lifetime.We enjoyed the festivals together and share our joy and sorrow.Where as in foreign their is a huge generation gap between parents and their child and a happy relationship ends as children reaches teenage.They want freedom and parents wants their security.They started disrespecting their parents whereas we can't utter any word when our elders are talking.So children should leave with their parents through out the life if they can give proper respect to them.In age of 20 teenagers fly in their dreams .They do not have the expirence of this world and what to do.In such time parents can guide them of face the adversities of life.

That depends on the culture you are from. For example, I live in Hawaii where many young adults (21+) still live with their parents. Not all of it is because it is expensive but rather strong bonds with family members (aunts, uncles, grandparents too in the same house). I am positive that other countries have similar cultures as well (just to lazy to look them up at this second lol).
Aloha.

I didn't move out until I was 20 and I have several friends who are 20-21 still living at home. They go to community college though and are just trying to save money until they get their career started. If you are going to school or lost your job or something then it is cool, but if you are just lazy then get out. You will love living on your own or with a roommate. it is great freedom

in australia the average age people are leaving home now is about 25.it has become normal because young people these days have less responsability.they dont have to work to support their families like when our parents and grandparents did.most people still living at home at this age are still at uni so they just study and work part time.having said this i wasnt one of these people.i moved out at 18 and have been independent ever since.i find it kinda strange when people are still living at home in their mid 20s or older.but 20, 21, 22 is fine.anything older i think is strange.

I see no problem living with your parents as long as you want. I am 30 and still living at home to get my bills paid off and be able to afford to get a house and stuff. It is more finacially sound for some people to live at home. As long as you have your freedom and are trying to better yourself, I don't see why not. If you are just freeloading then no it is not ok. Good luck.

i was 21 when i moved out of my parents house due to the conditions ...the house was getting smaller and i was getting bigger ...yes i was living under restriction and i didnt like that ...but once i moved out i discovered i wasnt sheltered anymore you need to pay rent, utilities and water and trash...ahh the price for freedom...took me awhile to be on my own but i did it and 3 months later I got married..how nice? so bottom line if you are still happy living at home and no one is denying that right ..why not milk it for a couple more years til you find yourself?...but if you want freedom theres a cost when you go out into the real world ...scary very scary i know ...

I did when I got out of the military till I finished my Degree and saved some money, I think I was out about 8 months after I graduated college. so I think I was 27 when I finally got out, but again I was also in the military for 4 years. so I would have to vote for normal

I wonder y not
20 is not a matured enuf age to get your problems and your future secured out. once you are matured enough you may move out of your family, dont forget about the insecurity of your parents what they are gonna suffer if you dont take the right steps and they wont be able to forgive themselves if you land up in any of the problems.
So better be sure before taking such a step.

I was at my mother's house until I was 23 years old...Off and on. I moved out a couple times, but moved back in due to circumstances. So, of course it is normal. Just make sure that you are not overstaying your welcome and welching off your parents. Contribute.
