Whats considered an "adult" ready to leave the nest changes as society does as well as life expectancy. Things gravitate to being later

13 year olds used to leave the house and have babies in older times

Then that age stretched until it became standard at around 18

Now that age seems to be around 22-24 on average. Considering how much society has rapidly changed since the early 1900s this seems natural, and not unnatural as you say

I can say definitively millenials are way behind on home buying and this pandemic shutdown along with massive government spending is making it twice as bad.

And a lot of Asian cultures have intergenerational living situations and Asians do better than anyone in the US.

I agree people should seek out independence but it's not all bad if someone decides to stay at home to stack some money for a little bit of time. Would you rather someone be homeless and living on the street or living in a car?

Not everyone hates their parents or in-laws.
