Move out. You're past 30. Living at home shouldn't even be an option except for in emergencies, like being kicked out of your house by a spouse, flood, severe illness etc. You are an adult, who make money. One of the many responsibilities of adulthood is to move out and make a home for yourself. Your parents also deserve to have their house to themselves - if you have been living there since you were a kid, they haven't had properly "alone time" since you were born.

I am 23 and I recently moved back in with my parents for a few weeks. I have a very good relationship with them, so it worked out, but we all prefer me living by myself. My parents have four kids and with the kids out of the house they travel the world, they can do the redecorating there was never time for, they can eat whenever they want, they can enjoy their privacy. I know they love all their kids but I also know they love living by themselves now - my mother has also told me that after about 30 consecutive years of having children living at home (I moved out when I was 19, I am the youngest, my oldest sister is 10 years older than me) it feels so liberating to make the home theirs again. They invite us all over, with boyfriends/girlfriends, children etc., each sunday. Perfect for all of us.

Do a favour for all of you - move out.
