When I first lived by myself without roommates my apt. was $250 a month. 1 bedroom apartments cost how much these days? Depending on where you live, at least $1000 right?
The 25-29 year olds should have a career by then, but I understand the younger ones not being able to afford it by themselves. Need to find a mate to help with expenses.
Nah..they’re just unwilling to live in a less than modern apartment....or according to their means.
$1400/month when I looked back in 2014. Admittedly that was NYC, but I was horrified.
Children living with parents doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re lazy. Sometimes it does, but every case is different.
All of my kids are gone and on their own. Some have roommates and rent houses. All modest places at reasonable prices.
One son rents a whole house with three other guys.

In Southern California or a North East city, $2,000 - 3,000+/month.
So to live by your self you need a serious job. If you get laid off for any length of time then you probably have to move back home or get financial assistance from family.
This is not good, it delay’s family formation and adulthood for many responsible young people who are trying to do the right things in life.
