This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I forgot to mention, this is in South America. As far as I know, cross-gen households used to be the norm here, and mortgaging your home isn't common, because there's simply less social pressure to leave your parents' home if you can't afford a house.

And historically, that was expected and normal, and having your own place was unusual. The oldest usually took care of the parents and the rest moved out. That's SL still very much a thing in Korea, a very developed country where people could probably afford to live separately.
