If that ever happens imo it’ll be bc most Americans are really stupid with their money.

If we ever go to war thats going increase casualties quite a bit.

This was happening well before costs were an issue.
Vietnamese villages would have multiple generations living in the same household and this was back when it was people out working in the rice paddy.

Only way to afford it given wages vs housing prices. I feel America isn’t far off. Average household income is 70k and average house is well over 400k. This isn’t sustainable. Grandparents and parents all under one roof going forward
Yeah but I got mines, so sucks for everyone else!

Did no one else here grow up on family land? Everyone had their acreage and maw maw/paw paw aunts and uncles/cousins were all right there. No one in our family has gone in a nursing home.

Nada. Had to go to University and graduate or risk being cut out of the will. Went for my 3 siblings as well. Everyone has a degree and advanced degree now.
High School didnt even count for us.

The key is to have land and you wont need everyone under one roof.

you could still go to college and still live on your family's land.
Did they completely kick you out at 18 and say dont ever come back?

If you sell a two story house in suburbs north of Dallas such as Plano, having a full bathroom and at least one bedroom other than the master bedroom on the first floor are almost a requirement for Asian homebuyers. The older generation lives on the first floor.

i was coming here to say that. Lots of Indian (dot not feather) families live multigeneration together.

The best memories of my life were spent under my grandfather's wing, growing up learning important life skills I carried into adulthood.
Paw Paw was a blonde haired blue eyed German who married a coonass and 100% committed to being a coonass. He retired early. And then spent the next 40 years acting dirt poor.
I was crawfishing with him when I was still in diapers. Cutting firewood and loading it as soon as I was big enough. He taught me every single valuable thing I know.
He could break and fix damned near anything. And now 35 years later I can look at almost anything and spot what will fail, how to fix it, and how to fix the new weak point as well
Makes me sad he never got to meet my son.

My mother grew up on family land. Three of her siblings stayed and built houses, and my grandparents were cared for by them. Several cousins also stayed and cared for their parents, too. I lived there for 25 years; it was nice having family nearby.

My mother grew up on her family land too. When she was in junior high her parents divorced and she moved to San Antonio.
Now her generation of siblings and cousins (who grew up in another small town) all live in San Antonio except her brother who inherited my great grandfathers land.
I’m hoping to buy or get some of my grandpas land some day

Well my grandma, and 2 aunts all lived one the same piece of land. 2 of the 3 grandkids have college degrees.
My mom and dad moved 10 minutes away until I was a freshman in high school when my oarents bought 13 acres from her uncle across the highway from my grandma and aunts. They built a home and raised us all together. I also have a college education. My brother who had learning deficiency doesn't but still makes a great living.
Ida took her home so my wife and I built our home where there's was and they live behind us in a smaller mobile home.
Living together has no bearing on what education you can get or will get

My wife grew up in a house with her parents and grandparents and, for a while, I did too, after the grandparents moved in with us.
I don't think it is that uncommon, nor do I think there is anything wrong with it. I enjoyed the few years my grandparents lived with us.

There was lots of communal living after WWII in the US also
