No matter Peter Pan, which is what this article is about, has a choice.
He can sleep on the couch at mom’s or he can strike out and make his own way.
Try as Peter Pan might there is no changing reality.
BTW A younge man who moves home for a few month is not necessarily a Peter Pan. If he is working and saving in order try again. That is not the same thing. If he does chores around the house and pays for his own food and maybe a few dollars for rent.
Just like someone who needs food stamps for a few month is not the same as someone who makes a liftstyle out of being on the dole.
You mention respect. How about a young men having some self respect? If they are not then start paying their own way.
Also, this is KEY, IF a young man can barely take care of himself perhaps he should not seriously consider having a family for a few years. Maybe he needs to work harder and save more money?
Back in the day people would save up 20%, not 3%, in order to buy a home. People actually invested in their homes. Today they have taken the commitment, and motivation, out of everything by making it seem easy.
Its not always hard either. But it is a never ending struggle with moments of joy and even contentment and sadness and hardship along the way.
Loved ones get sick or die. People get cancer or some crippling disease. Get laid off right when they could use the money the most.
But what choice is there? You either choose to live and be a fully functioning adult or you live in lala land with the commies and deadbeats.
Excellent summary of reality.
