And even then it would be a last resort. I can't f*cking STAND these people who are lazy who just sponge off their parents until their 30s and never even offer to lift a finger or chip in for anything. I know someone in this situation and I have absolutely zero respect for him. Each to his own, I suppose

Yeah, but the parents from those cultures expect their kids to marry young. They probably wouldn't expect their 40 year old son/daughter to be hanging around at home, even if they live in their parents' basement or garage apartment.
