If you're going to do yourself in, this is the way to explain it

I'm 27 and still live with my parents.
Not a big deal, it's a big rural house, I pull my weight in chores and costs, employed and not dependent on anyone.
But my recent raise does give an option to rent a small apartment nearby.
Enough to be on my own but still be close to my garden and dog

Why pay rent? Your only paying the property owners bills.

If I had the choice I'd be staying with my parents and saving to own something of my own in the future.

Economic wise I'd be better off staying where I am until I manage to get a woman that will split costs in about 200-400 years.
A rent with costs on a small apartment is about €300 for my area, a quarter of my pay.

A price I'll gladly pay for the privacy my own place gives me.

Makes sense if that's how you feel

Living with parents fattens your purse, but dulls independent personal development.
