I think it's possible if you can find a woman who would date you. Many women don't look favorably at someone who still lives at home with his parents. Many of your parents friends probably talk about that situation behind your parents back and wonder why they would allow a child to live with them. If you live in a third world country that is to be expected, but if you live in the United States it brands you as a looser in the eyes of some people.
I don't agree with your statement that only in third world country adult children live with their parents.
In other civilized cultures ( not particular countries ) there are 2-3 generations that live under the same roof. And yes, adult children still date and get married.
Maybe those people have just different values?
I guess it also depends on what country your living in. Here in the Philippines, it's pretty normal if you live with your parents. It doesn't mean they're the ones taking care of you, most of the times you live there because you're the one who's gonna take care of them.
You're just 27, it's never too late to date. You should open your mind to a lot of possibilities instead of over thinking things. I think it's time you take risks.

He just need to go find an apartment and be done with it.
What's the use of that money if one fails to have a life?
You know, I really don't care how they do it in Asia or Italy. In the United States, the cultural emphasis is on moving out of the nest and being self-sufficient at the earliest possible age, which is why men who continue to live with their parents after graduation are considered to be less than fully adult, semi-dependent guys with Failure To Launch issues. I mean, if the poster lived in Milan, I'd say, "Sure. Knock yourself out. Live with Mom until she drops dead of exhaustion from cooking and cleaning for you." But he's not, so I don't.
That is an idiot way of thinking, no ofence. Seriously. I'm still single, I'm 27. I have saved up decent amount of money and am still saving. I'm living alone now and only because I had to travel to another place.
Like i said, if he lives with his parents AND has a job that he can travel to in his vicinity, he shouldn't waste hundreds of dollars on mere renting, plus all other expenses. That's STUPID. By the way, you know that both men and women do earn same amount of money in their 20s. Any woman who expects you to live in your own apartment is either aiming too high for her own taste of she's renting an apartment herself... I doubt that she bought it YET. And that, my friend, is another wasting of money in my book... unless she moved out to another town. Now, be stupid, rent a flat, pretend to be someone, chase women around and that's all cool. OR.... save at least 10,000 of those extra expenses each year and accumulate wealth.
If you want women who go after cars and stuff then we're talking about completely different personalities, of course.
I personally don't think it s a big deal and each circumstance is different. As long as you are making at attempt to better yourself and plan on moving out then its no biggie.
If you live in a third world country that is to be expected, but if you live in the United States it brands you as a looser in the eyes of some people.
People who can't spell are losers also.
This is absolutely not true. He is doing the right way and saving up money before OP plans to move out if OP's parents let him. If OP plans to move out at the age of 40 then that's a different story.
I personally don't care if you're 25 or 30 living at home with parents. It is their life and if they stay positive then that's great!
Being positive is the key.
