Fair enough?Fair enough. Maybe we can get you on here, see your PM....

I have never met a happy liberal. You certainly sound very unhappy.
To: george76
It is only fair, we have given them 80+ years of incremental socialism and corporate dominance over small and medium business!
Plus, we expect them and their kids and their kids kids to pay for our way of life now, so hey.

I’m not a liberal. I’m a conservative trapped in a liberal hell.

Now, they are living at home with parents or in laws or headed that way. "The Greatest Generation" produced "The Baby Boomers" who in turn parented "The Boomerang Generation".
Just sayin...

Our 20 and 22 yr olds are home from college for the summer. They’ve each applied for at least 20 jobs, but neither has gotten one. Seems a lot of folks with more experience are vying for the same entry level type jobs. But we’ve kept them busy, building a new two-level deck on our house. They’re wishing they’d gotten any kind of job, at this point. ;o)

The only thing I "gave" them was college and $50 a month spending money; anything extra, fine, get a part time job "and your grades better not suffer". They "launched" just fine.
Roots plus wings!

because when Im retired and my kids are making the big bucks, were moving in with them.Heh, we told our four kids that we expected them to do well in life, so that when Dad and I are old and retired, they can keep US in the lifestyle to which we've become accustomed. ;o)

You are preaching to the choir. I’m not only a reluctant SS participant but also an employer.
Since 2008 I have no employees and since unemployment has since been extended to the point that I pay 5.4% on top of employee matched benefits I cannot afford to hire any new employees. Can’t wait till I have to pay the penalty for non-insurance. Yes, that will help me employ anyone!
Please don’t blame me for being born between 19147 and 1964! If you do, you’re a real schmuck!

“”The Greatest Generation” produced “The Baby Boomers” who in turn parented “The Boomerang Generation”.
Excellent! Boomerang describes the adult children, who did launch into life only to return home to mommy and daddy.
So we have the Failures to Launch and the Boomerang Generation.

(ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION IS DESTROYING AMERICA-LOOK AT WHAT IT DID TO THE WHITE HOUSE!)
To: northwinds
Exactly....I did not have a single friend that moved back in with their parents. When we turned 18 we joyfully left for college and didnt look back. All of my friends worked in high school and summers during college. So many of this new generation seem so clueless. Many didnt work during high school...some of that is to blame on the illegals coming in and taking jobs traditionally held by teenagers. How is an American kid gonna get a job at a McDonalds where all the workers are illegals who mostly speak Spanish. But this new generation was just so darned coddled and had parents involved in every aspect of their lives. When I grew up parents didnt come to athletic practices...now its the norm. Kids just played amongst themselves and worked things out....now everthing is pre-programmed by the parents...its sad really.You don't learn about the world unless you see it from bottom up. Learning to survive can be rough but teaches you allot.

As long as I’m wanted at home, I’ll stay there. I’m not going to spend unnecessary money on an apartment in the middle of a total economic collapse, especially when I still need to get another degree.
Of course there are some 20 somethings who live at home and never work...well...they suck.

Did you start your own company? Isn’t that expensive?

Depends on the company you plan to start.
Tutoring business is 50 bucks for a business license, plus about a 100 in advertising to get everything set up.
