So much of this comes down to questioning what we are systematically told will make us [happier / richer, etc.] and instead following our own wisdom and lived experience. This also feels like a distinctly though not exclusively American dilemma, where multi-generational housing is uncommon (and the idea of cohabitating with parents / grandparents into adulthood is seen as some kind of failure of maturity). Then COVID comes along and what do people do? Move back home. For as much as it’s torn apart it’s interesting what the pandemic has illuminated in terms of us re-evaluating our true value systems.
