I am not so sure this isn’t somewhat true.
Look at all the single “adults” still living at home.
Why buy the milk if the cow is free.
And why bother to leave the farm if you arnt really expected to work for your keep?
Many of those adults living at home pay rent to do so; it makes sense when they have no need for a home of their own (no wife/kids) and their parents have the room (along with the security/safety it brings as parents age).
