I have seen in many US shows where they portray guys who are living with parents as losers, or there are jokes or memes about it, I never get it.

    I think folks are missing a huge cultural point of moving out with roommates. It’s culturally acceptable to move away from parents but live with like 3+ roommates starting with college / university and then well into establishing your career. I did this and most folks I know did this in Canada. Honestly some of the greatest times of my life. I and my roommates moved out at 18 to do this and I wouldnt have done it any other way. So many great independence skills came up during that time and just a great sense of freedom (even with working and school being a huge part of everything)
