No. Because rent is $800/month and they owe $60,000 in student loans and they jobs available are minimum wage jobs.
Takes good payin secure jobs, medical benefits to marry, have and raise babies, buy mortgages, insurance, cars and everything that goes with all that. Not happening.
Thanks to 28 or so years of total loser leadership, that’s no bueno in today’s America.
Your take is more likely the reason for young men’s arrested development.
The economy is R-e-a-l bad for a lot of people...

Nailed it. consider how old they will be when those student loans are paid off? Any chance of starting a family (the right way)? Saving for retirement? Nope & Nope. The American population is in for a major crash.
$800 a month is a bargain where I live for a good location. Rent in major cities is crushing. Many men and women in the city live 2 to 4 to an apartment. Some don't mind but that faced with that why bother?
Also, the moving out thing is a recent American thing. Most people around the world live in family compounds. This will become more normal as jobs decline and pay declines due to automation and globalization.
“No. Because rent is $800/month”
$800 a month? I didn’t think apartments anywhere rented for so little.

They owe $60k because they take out loan money for far more than tuition and books. They also use their loan money for personal expenses, beer, dope, pizzas, you get the idea. If these people would work while attending college, maybe attend community college for their freshman and sophomore years, double or triple up on apt expenses, etc, they could graduate from college with little if any debt. But, they think they’re entitled to free miney and have no intention of ever paying their loans back. Screw’em.
