Thanks for your answer Jordi! Yes I have heard about some young people who take advantage of their parents - refuse to leave home, treat the place like a hotel and don't contribute anything. Pathetic.. maybe the parents should kick them out? And if they refuse, change the lock while they are out :)

I changed 2 words in your text: becouse* and redundant*. See above.

Obviously we have to take into account the instability in the jobs. This problem plays an important role and is the main reason becouse* why many young people don't leave their parents' house. But we have to bear in mind that some other people have all the freedom they need at home and are redundant* reluctant to renounce all the privileges they enjoy by living with their parents.

LOL! True enough Jordi, nobody can stay young forever. But I imiagine that a lot of the 40-year-olds living with their parents don't do this because they want to, but because they have no choice. Don't you think?
See you,

We can find many social groups in our towns and villages but I think that one common feature to nearly all them is the refusal to grow old. It is not strange to meet people in their sixties training for a marathon, some others wearing as teenagers and an increasing number of them riding bicycles, segways or skates on the streets. Young men and women going to university at thirty or even forty years old and still living in their parents home is not uncommon. In my opinion, everyday more and more people try to refuse that the time goes by and they cannot be young forever.
