My son graduated in May, landed a job in town before he graduated and is living at home while he builds up his savings a little. He really doesn’t start making real money for probably another month when his training is complete. He’s not in debt except for a small amount to his university and a small student loan. Besides, he mows the lawn and does other jobs around the house. His plan is to be out by next summer. I see nothing wrong with kids returning home upon graduation until they get on their feet. Besides, I enjoy his company.
No, there’s nothing wrong with it at all...I remember I did it for 2 months after grad school in 1980. Jobs were easier to find then, even in a Carter economy. Most 20-somethings abhor the idea living with the parents and want nothing more than to have their own place. And that’s a good thing.
