Proud to be in the minority for six more months.

As a 29 yr old who actually has a liberal arts degree and student loan debt but does not live with their parents this is a depressing stat.

To many people my age and younger want the big city life while working in jobs that are terrible for the degrees they are getting.

I work in sales at Salesforce and the road I took was definitely difficult and had it's up and downs but I'm happy where I'm at financially.

We have coddles society so much and it's not stopping it's getting worse. So many people in my age group just living in bubbles and microagressions.

It's actually two different generations, the older 20's are millennials, while the lower 20's and below are gen z (1995-2010 birth)

I’d prefer to see the break from 19-21, 21-25. Those are ages that I’m guessing closer to 80 and 60% respectively

I wonder how this is counted. Do they include college students living in a dorm as "living with parents?" That's kind of a grey area to me.

I’m not trying to insult your career choice but being in sales is considered a truly terrible job and quality of life by a lot of people, and that’s basically the only viable high-ish paying job for young college grads other than owning a business or working for EY, Turner, Deloitte, etc. in today’s job market.

I’m all for working hard and being successful and pulling yourself up by your bootstraps, but I know very few young people who are living good, healthy lives of their own merit in the current state of society and it has nothing to do with their work ethic

18 is a terrible age to include in that stat. In our society and 18 year old usually cannot move out. That is a loaded statistic.

It would suck if those kids vote at a higher rate bc they’re home and their parents take them or order ballots for them

It’s not a loaded statistic that’s like saying that the heart disease death rate is a loaded statistic because everyone in our society is obese. The fact that 18 year olds can’t move out is a symptom of our unhealthy society, not a cause of it.

The second I graduated I kicked the tires and lit the fires. Didn't even stay in the same city and I hadn't secured a job yet. I just knew I was out.

not to brag but my 25 year old son is a software engineer with a fortune 100 company in NW arkansas , they hired at the start of his spring semester of his senior year at the you of A, he's now married and just bought a house.

that's what happens when a university indoctrinates you in mathematics instead of social justice!

That was very nice of you, but very few 18-29 year olds have elderly parents. Their parents are likely 40-65 years old.

I see this so often now and don't quite understand it?

I couldn't wait to get out of the house and move into an apartment with 4 irresponsible friends have a couch off the street we had to staple sheets over and have a $1000 dollar stearo set up on "procured" milk and coke crates...

Maybe a few choice street signs as decorations?

Mattress on the floor and a frick fan from grants.

How does one learn about life today?
