“At 26 my kids were graduated from college and owned their own homes.”
That was in a long-time ago an in a galaxy far, far away. Now, for the most part, 26-year olds are buying their first xBox game with their own money. Still gotta plug it into Ma and Pa’s outlet in the basement, though. It’s a combination of lack of opportunity, lack of motivation, and a bit “too much” of a support system. Even worse, I can’t even see why any young person would buy a house these days, with jobs (and even entire industries) so transient and tenuous.
I know what you mean but they are 30 and 33.
