most are weaned from such support by their early 30s.

Society is in deep, deep trouble if most "kids" are still receiving parental support into their 30s. Clearly, something has gone terribly wrong.

Yeah, cost of living is at an all time high. Very simply math.

I don't know -- now a lot of times, people need to have Masters degrees, so end up being in college until they are 25/26. Then loans to pay, so 29-30 is a break-even age. early 30s is too late, but remember that many couldn't afford houses as the prices shot up like mad

Also, in the 50s and 60s, what was the life-expectancy? 60? Now it's mid-70 for whites, meaning people have that much longer a life.

...or still spending hours daily playing video games instead of working, marrying, and having kids.

Frankly, wasn’t multi-generational households the norm not that far back ago?

My dad recently ‘lost’ his house (sold it to pay for repairs of the sewer line and foundation), and is now living with my family.

My in-laws (in their 60’s and 70’s), have had my grand-mother-in-law move in with them, as she’s in her 90’s.

You take care of family. Period.
