And, the price is right.
When I first moved out of my parents’ home, I didn’t live in the lap of luxury (I still don’t) but I accepted responsibility for myself and I had my privacy.
I did without a lot of ‘things’ and conveniences, but I made my OWN way... like you’re supposed to do if you are a mature individual!!
I suspect a lot of these immature and spoiled idiots wouldn’t know how to set themselves up on their own... maybe they wouldn’t even know how to read a rental lease, pay for insurance, have utilities laid on....etc.
ALSO, and I think this is the real key, they are way TOOOO attached to their BS luxuries... like, cell phones, 500 chanels on the TV, mom’s and dad’s insurance, spending all their disposable income on beer, movies, cool clothes, a ‘night out’... EVERY night...etc.
You have to cut corners somewhere if you want to be independent. They don’t want to prioritize and save for what is important. They can’t learn how to do without their ‘toys’ and silly fun until they can afford it!
Some, not all. My 19 year old works full time, is being groomed for management, rents a room in a friends house, is trying to save and replace her bomb-car, pays for her own health insurance, is paying off her one year of college loan, and has been able to save for a mission trip to Nicuragua. She is trying to figure out how to rent an apt or efficiency on her own, but prices are high here and I expect she will need to go into a roommate situation.
I dont suppose that anyone remembers when roomates shared the same bedroom (usually three to a room!) back in the old days.
