re: More 18-34 YOs live with their parents than not. 1st time in 130 years.

Live with your parents again? Chances are you're not lazy nor a loser

Wrong.

I'm assuming young people today are just afraid of a declining lifestyle.

What? No. Unless you are thinking of your stereotypical Brooklyn hipster.

It's the simple fact that wages are low and living expenses are high. Not to mention the student loan debt.

To be honest it's the babyboomer's fault for ramming the economy in the shitter and mortgaging the future of the current generations.

Literally never, met a single woman who wasn't in a serious relationship who didn't live with their parents still

Sounds like you either need to get out more or up the quality of your "acquaintances"

Trickle-down economics is the greatest lie ever sold American. Our system creates plenty of wealth but it stays at the top.

Just like "trickle up" economics created Walmart?

Government action in the market is the problem.

I'm 31. Wife is 32. Neither of us have lived with our parents since we were 18.

My generation disappoints me.

It's mostly women not men. I have.....Literally never, met a single woman who wasn't in a serious relationship who didn't live with their parents still. A good friend of mine, 28 year old female, just got married and still lives at home.


I don't know one guy that lives with his parents


Women get to stay home stack chips and wait for Mr right. Men gtfo

Funny you say that. My sister is 4 years older than I am and to this day her room is still intact at my parents house. When I came home after my first week at Auburn when I was 18, I had to say in my sister's room because they had already thrown out all the furniture in my old room and painted it yellow. within 3 weeks it had become the guest room and none of my things were still in it.

Not to mention with a flawed healthcare system, pre obamacare and current healthcare, combined with the 2008 economic disaster we are seeing more older folks opt to keep working. Even those that have the means to retire are staying at work to have their healthcare costs covered at whatever % their employer pays.

she's #8 in the Flora-Bama bikini contest thread. go check her out. we were proud that she got up there but disappointed everyone pointed and laughed at her and that she didn't win anything.

Renting costs MORE than buying a house in a lot of areas and buying a house is fraught with risk. This is zero surprise to me.

---

Oh no, not risk. everything is a risk. Marriage, kids, driving to work, flying. That's life. Deal with it. I don't know if living at home is a good or bad thing. I can't imagine it being healthy for those involved. I appreciate the tough times we are having, but this isn't something new. One of my problems with the subject age group is their apparent lack of historical perspective. You're not the first to experience all these things. Quit acting like you're the only ones to ever face a bad economy or debt, uncertainty, risk, and a bleak future. You ain't the first.
