I moved back in with my parents at 28 to save money. The financial benefit is great, but I feel like a teenager again. How have others navigated this increasingly common living situation?

Initially it was really awkward. But laterI started stepping up.

It's for the people who stay away from their parents for work.
How do you deal with this guilt of leaving your parents behind when they need you the most? Also, if you have done something regarding this, please mention.
Hey folks, Coming from tier-2/3 towns, how do you manage to live away from home for full time in-office roles.
Most of the people have decent set of responsibilities back at home ranging from parents healthcare to various documentation...
Is it difficult to live without a partner or find the right one, especially when you are introverted, at the age of 29?
Stay single till you find a right match, not having a partner may make you feel lonely sometimes but having a bad one...
