(Source: Pew Research Center)Recession over as defined by Obama/media? Remember they had to 'redefine' recession at the time? When it didn't work, the Obama admin went to work cooking up all kinds of data nobody bought into?
That recession?
The “height of the recession” as defined by whom?
NO JOBS?...................
They were raised and educated by the government and believe in socialism or as I like to call it, mooching.
Just a guess...it is cheaper to wait until the older generation passes and leaves you property. That, and it is hard to finance a home (a matter of 15-30 years)when you have to change careers every 3-7 years.
What sets us apart, I believe, is that we never made it too comfortable for our children at home. Rules and curfews had to be obeyed. Participation in chores was mandatory (yard and home). Only one TV is allowed in the house, in the common room. No video game systems ever. Not that our home was ever unpleasant for them but most young people would find it rather boring and constrictive.
When they became adults and got out of school, we charged rent. Not just a token rent either. What they didn't know at the time was that my wife and I put that rent in a separate account to use for them in case they ever needed money (such as repairs on a car or security deposit on an apartment).
So even the few times they did come to us for money, we simply took it from the money they already paid us for rent.
They love their apartments because they can have television and video games wherever they want it, stay out as late as the want and not have to pick up after themselves. They would only move back in with us as a last resort. But we get along just fine and when they come to visit us, we treat them like kings.
I think parents in general make it too comfortable for their adult children to live at home. Why would they ever move out?
Because their parents indulge them.
Uh, because you are all delusional and it just takes some eyeballs and rudimentary math skills to see it just is getting worse.
Are they Americans?
Are they Muslims from Obama's favorite war torn Muslim countries?
Are they illegal aliens?
Look at the level of debt most college age mill’s have. Then look at the starting job market.
I am surprised that more of them aren’t living at home.
Considering everything, this is really a stupid question.
Because Obama lied. End of discussion.
Somehow I don’t consider this an important issue -—we have other things to worry about.

Once mom and dad let you smoke dope in the house and bring girls to your room, what reason is there to ever want to move out?
Because tolerance.
Grief, who edits this drivel?

Because it’s hard to afford your own house when, after 4 years taking Womyn Studies, Oppressed-by-Republicans-People Sociology or Jon-Stewart; Political Genius courses, your most common phrase on the job is “Do you want fries with that?”
My liberal friends think that they should simply forgive all student loan debt.
To which I replied: “so you want to punish savers?”
I explained how a saver student that compromised spending, during his college years, examples: expensive schools, traveling, automobiles, parties and drugs. They missed out while the deadbeat gets it all.
My liberal friends are regrouping on the idea.
I have a theory this situation arises because of the reduction of family size along with the increase in the size of many homes. The overall increase in wealth in the baby boom generation means in many families, each child had their own room, and there was generally a bedroom or two that had no one living in them.
In the past, as one child moved out (either to college or just as an adult), the space left behind was quickly absorbed by crowding and was not available to move back into. The last child in houses like that generally left the home later than the other children because they had plenty of room, comparatively, and they were more comfortable. But they also had the example of older siblings to lead them away from home.
Now, if you have two children in a five bedroom house, the oldest will always have “his room” to come back to. The house is large enough that there isn’t pressure to take over his room. Even if he were to get married, the house would likely be big enough to accommodate a spouse and maybe even a first grandchild.
In some ways, that’s a throwback to the 19th century where two or three generations would live in a sizable house.
