How can one master the art of being an independent adult nowadays?

With children living at home until 35 years old… how does one adjust to the new reality when money is short.

Best thing to do is get a job if you can. If you can’t, volunteer in a field that interests you. Develop yourself as much as you can. Try out new interests by joining groups in the community. Take classes at a local school. Do NOT sit around and mope!

I have to agree with @Sunny2 , it’s all about trying to get a job, then learning how to live on the budget your job provides. Short and simple thats what I think independance is about, being able to live and function by yourself.

Stand up for yourself and set some limits. Make you needs and expectations clear, as well as the consequences.
