so many young adults living with parents

Boomers...

I heard on news of parents taking their son to court because he wouldn't leave their house-think he was 30

 

[Nithavela]

what do you mean?

What he means is that soon the boomers will be outnumbered by the younger generation and will loose their iron grip on the political and cultural landscape.

Except for the wealthy and the aristocracy, throughout human history this has been the norm rather than the exception. Living in larger extended families and pooling resources has been the way humans throughout history have been able to survive.

One should take care never to hassle the Hoff.

Did you check out the rock in the photo at the top? That's gotta be north of 7-8 ct.

That's a situation where it sounds like there wasn't an agreement and the son was taking advantage of his parents. Realistically with the covid economic damage and the long term health problems it could incur, families might have to live together past the current cultural norms just to make it.

Diamonds are worthless.

I mean that Boomers have no idea how much Millennials hate them. And pretty soon, we'll be making healthcare decisions for them.

Sleep well, Boomers.

While I appreciate the thought, there's no need for boomer death panels. Just push them to the sidelines and ruin the future for your own children.

I mean.. those few of the new generation who still have children.

The lifestyle and standard of living in which a lot of my generation was raised is out of reach to my generation. This isn't happening by choice. The economy that once supported a fairly stable middle class no longer exists. Neither do the resultant career opportunities. During the tail end of the George W. years and through all of the Barack years, a lot of my generational cohort had to survive working multiple part time jobs.

The end result is less wealth owned by my generation. But the upshot is that most of us are sincerely not greedy. Because we've never had an opportunity to be.

The reckoning due for Boomers is the stuff legends are made of. Their day is coming.

That's right. The Lord sees all that happens, and nothing is hidden from Him.

Sleep well, Boomers.

Hopefully any millennials you know of that actually hate will find Christ, and be born anew! -- 1 John 4:8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

The REAL reason grown women like me won't leave home. And parents beware: it will make your blood boil | Daily Mail Online



"But it's a little more complicated than that. The truth is that living in the comfortable luxury of my family home, a warm, cheerfully decorated, four-bedroom, semi-detached house in North London - a property way beyond my means as a single woman - means that I have no impetus to leave.

Why should I? Where could I live this well, with three meals a day, a laundry service, full use of the garden and all utilities - all completely free? Where is the incentive to strike out on my own?

I know my friends feel the same."

why not?

I disagree because any employment is better than no employment

christine,

The whole point of higher education is to pursue employment in the area of interest or training. Otherwise, there’s little need to fund it.

Most young adults aren't facing the situations you've mentioned or dealing with parents who are unsupportive and demanding they leave. Some parents want to help their children and are willing to defray expenses to do so. There's nothing wrong with that.

maybe I have a different mindset than others but I did not want to stay living with my parents forever

often worked more than one job at a time while going to college and also when first married

With all due respect, you seem to be ignoring the fact that it is incredibly more difficult to afford a home, or even rent, than it used to be.

“Median home prices have risen in recent years, growing at four times the rate of household incomes since 1960, Clever reveals, adding that while median home prices increased 121% nationwide since that time, median household incomes rose only 29%.

Renters have been hit hard too. Median gross rent has increased 72% since the ’60s, surpassing adjusted incomes two-fold, Clever points out.”


Wages aren't keeping pace with home-price growth, and it's putting a dent in the housing market - HousingWire

I've asked what state you live in twice, just to try and get an idea of what you’re talking about in the context of costs there, but you haven’t answered. So it’s hard to know if things are really that affordable there or if what you’re saying applies to many people.

You somehow seem to be terribly afflicted by adult people making decisions you wouldn't make.

Have you looked at the "student loans" pointer beneath each picture in your link?

one can't always get a job they "want" right out of college

so a graduate can sit at home for years waiting for that perfect job or get any job while continuing to pursue the perfect job


it often takes many years to even get the perfect job....working your way up

 

[mama2one]

sorry but I purposely don't post where I live because of other forums where I saw forum members make it their mission to discover who people are & then harass

christine,

Or skip the ladder and work for themselves. Your option isn't the only one. Things have changed.
