As children grow up and venture out into the world, the transition from a bustling household to an empty one can be difficult -- so why not skip it all together? That's what millions of families are doing, not just in the United States, but in many other developed countries as well. In Italy, the culture of "mammismo" or mamas' boys, is widely accepted: Today, 37% of men age 30 or younger have never lived away from home. In Japan, "parasite singles" are chastised in the media for depending on Mom and Dad, but having few other options, they do it anyway.

It is. It will likely be worse than the one in the 1860s, and the aftermath will be more like France in the 1790s.
You could always take out one of those multi-generational mortgages they have over there.
Indenture your children, get a house.
This is the weirdest damn Recovery I’ve ever seen!
I already told my kids, that when they're in their 30s, I expect them to support ME.
Don’t tell the Democrats it’s a recovery, they will think that they can take more money of the economy and create more debt.
Shhhhhh.
Your absolutely correct; a plan writ large by the Democrat Fascist party; they’ve been guiding things this way for the last 30 years. It’s designed to work just this way to ensure that every year there’s fewer and fewer new “households” formed in the U.S.; households meaning a couple gets married, buys a house, raise a family, etc. Its all part of the game plan to reduce “Born in the U.S.” population..........and its working quite well!
When ‘mommy and daddy’ die, these ‘kids’ are in for a rude awakening... and life as street bums.
I thought my friend told me it would have cost him $800k to buy a lot in the area of the city his family home was in. Just the lot and it was no bigger than the house. No outdoor space at all. a couple feet to the next house.
Italy => “mammismo” or mamas’ boys
Japan => “parasite singles”
United States => Democrat Underground posters
Hell, it only costs 89 dollars just to fill their gas tank...After the high costs of rent, sky high food, insurance, utilities etc etc...
Hells bells, so what in their in the hole, -900 per month!
They all must be lazy.
I left home at 18 for college, bought my first house at 24
Oh sure, go to work at chicken licken for 8 bucks an hour, put yourself thorough college and then run out and purchase $180,000 to $400,000 home at 24 years of age...Riiight.... Sure buddy.
All this while millions in the 30s, 40s and 50s are losing their jobs, businesses, homes, retirements ...While young 24 year olds are doing so great, they're buying homes!!
Thanks for that obnoxious attempt at humor.
You could not be any further detached from reality.
This isn't your parents America.
Ya better get used to it
Nothing wrong with having multiple generations under one roof, as long as, everyone contributes. My Mother-In-Law has lived with us, ever since we had our first....no better babysitter in the world.
You bet....It's the damn landlords charging $975 per month for cheesy flop house apartments, who are pissed. Screw them.
I told those in my tribe, they can stay as long as they want, as long as they pull their own weight!
I have no problem with that.
Extended families are becoming an economic necessity.
I will do anything to have my kids avoid paying interest, and allowing them to save more money when they’re young, so that they’ll have much more in their old age, long after Social Security has been put on the ash heap of history.
You’re about as dilusional as they come. I actually went to college. And finished because I worked hard, and when I got out I got a decent paying job. I wasn’t flipping burgers, I wasn’t a liberal arts major, I was an engineer with a bachelors degree. And I busted my hump to get it, and oh by the way I graduated with a ton of school loan debt because my parents couldn’t afford to pay my school bills for me. And I don’t live in San Diego, or NYC so home prices were affordable. I got where I am because I was motivated, worked hard and was smart with my decisions. So quit your whining.
Absolutely.
Ya add up what it takes just to live in some flop house apartment, then throw in gas, utilities, insurance, food....And most of these young people have *zip* chance living on their own. Fact is, most private sector middle class adults in their 50s are barely making it.
Those that can't seem to understand this, are either stooopid and simply detached from reality.

And ya did all this, rented an apartment/home, paid for rent, food, utilities, insurance, nearly 5 dollar gal gas, at 18 years old, working at a good paying job, and bought your first home a couple years later?
LOL!
Ya think some private sector, 18 year old kid can do this in today's America?
Most private sector adults nowadays are struggling just to fill their stinking gas tanks!
You're totally, 100% detached from reality.
I’d like to know what was considered normal before the socialists have us Social Security.
Didn’t the son become the head of the family and take care of his parents until they died?
Didn’t the family unit remain strong so people could take care of each other rather than having the federal government as a father?
I think it’s good for sons to live at home if they step up and become the man of the house when their turn comes.
At 18 I was in college. I worked through college. I paid for my living expenses. My loans paid for my education.
I don’t understand why you think this is so difficult.
You sound alot like my wife’s office mate who complains about not being able to make it on his salary ... while he does nothing but overspend money on credit cards and fills his non-work time playing video games. Sorry bub, some of us make good decisions.
