Stop buying play stations and Iphones and your own fricking place to live.

Thank the baby boomers and some of gen x who refuse to retire and will keep working until they die.
Worst generations ever and it's not even close.

Yet they went for Obama by margins that make your jaw drop. Our young generation is absolutely atrocious. They take the bait on fake, ridiculous social issues

If someone is uncertain about his financial situation in retirement why should he fall on the sword for a Millennial he has never met? Particularly when most of Gen X is going to get completely screwed on Social Security.

Skewed data, most college students still list their parents address as their permanent address. Probably 80% of undergrads still "live with their parents", which skews the 18-34 stats.

Did America have a baby boom that I didn't hear about that led to huge increases in college students from 2007 on?

Disclaimer: I didn't read the article, I didn't fact-check the chart. It might be wrong, but I also don't really care enough to make sure it's right
edit: actually it shows a pretty steady uptrend for the past several decades. The "spike" could just be normal variation. Meh, whatever, take it FWIW

College attendance does rise about 10% every five years, but it's mostly due to the inconsistency with how these numbers are calculated from source to source and year to year.
Kids are living at home longer for sure, but it isn't nearly so dramatic and isn't entirely their fault. As Sentrius said, the job market is saturated due to baby boomers increasing the average age of the workforce every single year for the last 40 years. It also doesn't help that many universities are becoming useless degree factories.

Damn the baby boomers fricked this country financially.

I would really like to see someone do a thorough investigation on how how higher education is affecting the overall economy these days. Maybe it is out there and I haven't seen it, but it seems a touch unethical to me for some institutions to steer college students into worthless programs and consequently saddle them with real debt for years.
Not everyone is meant to go to college.

Because they won't retire. That screed would place you in the worst, most self-entitled generation, whatever generation that may be.

Tin foil hat time (probably not, though): I believe "household income" stats will rise because of this shitty situation and Libs around the country will end up touting the "increase" in "household income" due to "progressive" policies.

Who cares. Most successful I Italian and Spanish men live at home until they marry. The American culture teaches us that this is a bad thing. Live as long as you can at home.

This really is non-issue to me. The age 18-34 is way to large and are widely different lifestyles. Living at home can be the responsible decision for many people and shouldn't be shunned simply because. I believe marriage and/ or children are obviously a tipping point that's not shown within the graph. There is truly way to many factors to simply look at this as some negative indicator.

Looks like at the end of the Carter era it was similar percentages as now.
It's all economical...people can't find good jobs and the shite economy/over regulation stunts new business creation/growth.
So these young people take what mediocre jobs they can get and live with their parents rent free to help with costs.
I'm 23 and most of my friends aged 22-25 still live with their parents, and the ones that don't are struggling bad. I'm just now moving into my own house now that I'm getting my own farm going finally.

You can say that again

As long as someone over 18 still lives with their parents I will consider them to be someone's child and I will address them and treat them as such.
