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.

Not exactly what I'm saying, but there should at least be an attempt at independence. We have a family who's kid is in his 20's and living at home (not in and of itself awful) but he makes 0 attempt at getting a job and it's causeing serious problems for the couple marriage and well-being in general.

I'm not saying you should get a boot in the arse on your 18th birthday but there should be the attempts to move toward independence. You graduated high school...now go to college, or trade school or find your first job. No reason that within a few years you can't be at least somewhat independent.

Staying home for a few years to build money and a good base is one thing, but some people are living in a state of childhood well into adulthood, and that's just not healthy... I don't care how you spin it
