My two sons (30,28 years old), had to move back with in becasue they simply could not replace the income they were making after their companies shut down last year.
Both are working in fast food and pay me rent. 25% of their income, which currently ain't much.
Both are looking for better paying jobs in their respective fields, but in Florida, it's been real, real tough.
Yeah, you're right, I'm at fault / S
Please don’t think we are implying parents shouldn’t lend a helping hand. There’s a pretty healthy distinction between over-indulgence and general assistance during tough economic times. The article mentions “kids” who are still living high on the hog while those providing basic necessities are scaling back. These so called “kids” need to learn how to live within one’s means when finances are limited. This is an opportune time to teach these young adults how to be...adults. Thorough financial 101 lessons begin with the word “NO”.
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)
