Here are just a few reasons the move back home can be a smart one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Paying down student debt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Between coughing up rent and facing the high costs of living, there may not be much left to dedicate to those looming student loans at the end of the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><i>Living with your parents may give you the opportunity to flex your financial muscles, build a budget, and start squashing your student debt right after graduation.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Planning your next steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ve got the degree in hand, but now what? Mapping out the future after school can be complicated, and jumping straight into a full-time job might not be for you. Few young Canadians feel &#8220;very prepared&#8221; to enter the workforce after school. If you&#8217;re able to move back home,  you don&#8217;t have to worry about keeping the lights on, and you may have the freedom to explore some other options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><i>Want to travel? Go back to school? Start your own business? If you&#8217;re still figuring out those first steps, &#8220;home sweet home&#8221; may be a great spot to do it.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pursuing the perfect job<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking for work can be, well, work. Annual data collected by Statistics Canada on the duration of unemployment among Canadians (ages 15 and up) showed that in 2018, it took candidates about 18.3 weeks to find a job.<sup>1<\/sup> That&#8217;s four and a half months of r\u00e9sum\u00e9 writing, interviewing, pavement pounding, and side hustling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><i>Having a solid base can help take the pressure off, and if the grind gets you down, Mom and Pop might be the perfect cheering section!<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Putting money away for a home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your parents purchased their first home right after graduation, you might be feeling a little financial FOMO, but today&#8217;s real estate realities are different than they were decades ago. According to the April 2024 <a href=\"undefined\" data-dig-id=\"LP-57590-ae8fbebf\" data-dig-label=\"RBC Housing Trends and Affordability report\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">RBC Housing Trends and Affordability report<\/a>, the average Canadian household would need to put 63.5% of their income towards home ownership costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><i>Living rent-free <\/i><i>not only allows you to set aside a more money for a down payment, but it can also give you more flexibility to enter the housing market <i>when you feel ready.<\/i><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re just beginning to strategize about your next steps, or working towards your goal, living at home may free you up to step into adulthood with a little extra confidence and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-border-color has-rbc-bright-blue-tint-4-border-color has-rbc-bright-blue-tint-4-background-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"border-width:1px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-rbc-dark-blue-tint-color has-text-color\">No matter where you are at, RBC is here to help you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/investing\/myadvisor.html?promo_name=LM_Personal-Finance_DNL&amp;promo_id=203318&amp;promo_position=body&amp;promo_creative=Home Sweet Home: Why Living With Your Parents Might Be a Seriously Smart Move\">start investing<\/a> for your future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p>Source:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.
