Over the years, you've seen some of your friends move out with the promise of freedom and excessive partying only to be met by the harsh realities of sharing bathrooms with strangers and damp bedrooms.
During this time, you've been practically living like a member of the royal family with your parents.
There are never worries about the heating, or random house mates stealing your baked beans.
And then there are hidden perks, like the free taxis and well-stocked food cupboards – all good reasons to simply stay put.
1. No bills
Yeah you may be paying rent or helping out at home, but whatever you're paying is pennies in comparison to other people.
And you have no issues about paying a little bit because you still get your laundry done.
2. Sneaky washing up
After gorging on a big bowl of cheesy pasta, which you sweated over making, you can probably still avoid washing the dishes because you know someone else will do it for you.
Perfect excuse for a cheeky post food nap.
3. Luxury food
No horror stories of eating porridge until pay day for you, because there's never been an occasion when you've opened the kitchen cupboards and not discovered an abundance of delicious food.
Sometimes you get lucky and discover a few cheeky M&S treats too.
4. Cooking, what cooking?
Your investment into cooking for yourself doesn't really go above a sandwich, because your parents are always on hand to whip up a tasty spaghetti bolognese.
5. Perfect temperature
Your parents aren't fussed about the excessive cost of heating, and therefore will not bat an eyelid at putting the heating on full blast during the winter months.
None of this sleeping in three jumpers malarky for you.
6. No need to be adult
When it comes to making an appointment with the doctor, the dentist, or sorting your post, there's no need to fret or consult Google.
There will always be someone on hand at home to assist so you can continue to be a teenager, in the body of an adult.
7. Numerous holidays
Thanks to all that extortionate rent or mortgage that you're not paying, you can really afford to splurge on the good stuff and not feel guilty.
The good stuff being a few holidays, every single year.
8. Everything is there
There will never be a situation where, at 10.45pm, before you decide to pop to your mate's house for their birthday party, you're unable to find a gift bag for their present.
Because of course, there will be an entire drawer dedicated to these.
If you didn't live at home, you would be sheepishly handing them that new hip flask in a Tesco bag.
9. Taxi service
Shout out to the parents that have ferried us to and from numerous parties, airports and train stations. You're the best.
10. Never scary
You can watch the worst horror movie on Netflix and never be scared because there will always be someone at home.
And it probably wouldn't be that weird if you got into your parents bed after a bad nightmare.
11. So cosy
Chances are, you've lived there for many years and therefore it has that feeling of warm fuzziness and happiness that you can only ever really get from home.
12. So clean
There is no living in squalor for you where flat mates leave the shower in a state or their leftover food in the sink.
Because at home, the magical fairy known as your parents do it all.
13. Comforting
It doesn't matter how terrible your day has been, because you're guaranteed that as soon as you step into your parents' home there will be someone to pick up the pieces and make you feel better right away.
