One of the primary benefits of living with an extended family is that it reduces the family's financial strain as it's more affordable option. Usually, adult children move back in with their parents as soon as they start earning. They also help their parents save money so they can buy their own house. In an extended family household the adults can share their worries, stresses and responsibilities with other family members like their parents, who genuinely care for their wellbeing. This often forms a close family support structure which in turn reduces individual stress and promotes happiness.
