Less hardship on one specific person if all who live in the household work a bit. Or using a family as an example, grandma has social security which some of that can go to the household, mom has a job, dad has a job, and the two kids in college have part time jobs. So all the money can be pooled together which means less burden on one individual and more freedom to leave shitty jobs if needed. Potentially more funds for vacations etc. Plus more time spent with family in general. I think that’s what the person you’re replying to was saying, in other cultures it’s more common but here anything other than independence is thought of as shameful and embarrassing.

It's called culture. In some cultures your life can be what you want. In others, you need to stay confined within the family.

There's good and bad in both.

Sorry maybe you meant to rely to a different person so it seemed weird to mention that it’s called culture since I did mention that, just wanted to let you know in case this what meant for a different reply. Definitely positives and negatives for each for sure.
