I know failure to launch “kids” (mostly late 20s now), and none of what you said applies to them. Because they don’t care. They have no desire to enter into the adult world, they don’t have jobs, they don’t want jobs, the don’t care about the challenges of paying their own bills because they don’t have them. Yeah those actually entering the adult world have some extra challenges, but they will handle them because they’re becoming adults. The rest are just lazy losers who are going to get a rude awakening when their parent die and they find themselves pushing 50 with no employment history and nobody around that cares if they live or die.
I’d like to know how none of what I said could apply to these youth. It applies to all of our youth.
It looks to me like you have a certain mindset, and don’t want to acknowledge what today’s youth face.
22.8% unemployment doesn’t pertain to them? Really?
Another 25% working for half what they are qualified to make? Don’t apply? Really?
Housing prices are out of sight. This doesn’t apply? Really?
Job longevity doesn’t apply to them? Really?
Seriously, don’t you think you’re being a bit dismissive here.
But by that time the mortgage on their parents’ home is probably paid off and they don’t really need much more than a menial part time job to get by.
