Lot of dumb fricks in here that think the job market is the same as it was in the 80s.

Most good jobs now require a year or two of apprentice, unpaid work. So now you're 24 or 25 when you make your first full time salary. Not exactly easy to get fully on your feet, financially, especially if paying off student loans.

Maybe people got better jobs in the past because they worked harder in the 80s than now.

Anyone with half a brain cell can walk into a construction company and get a job with insurance working on the side of the road.

But but but today things are harder mommy...make others pay...wah wah, I hate obamacare except my snowflake self benefits.

So would 24 be a more reasonable age? Does it even matter in the cost of things?

Another point I didn't make in OP was that we are seeing adult diseases in children now... at younger & younger ages so there is that to consider.

That's about right. Student loans, tough job market, starting salary incredibly low.
