Here's how I fare on that. Each checked box is something I have.

[X] "The trick is to have parents",

[ ] who are alive,

[ ] "who aren't homeless",

[ ] who have housing that is safe and functional,

[ ] who have room for you not already occupied by other family members in greater need,

[ ] who "had a sofa",

[ ] or if they're dead, at least left you with enough money as an equivalent

Who live nearby. If you're an immigrant and your parents live another continent, hard to live on their sofa and then get a new visa to come back.

I'm never sure what to do with this class of comment - it reminds me of guys who say they can't get a girlfriend because they're 5'8".

(Also, you forgot people whose parents are able-but-unwilling. This also sometimes makes some things harder than they would be, compared to, say, being given fistfulls of cash each weekend by your rich parents who have a sofa AND a bed.)
