Nolte: More Adult Children Living with Parents
Breitbart ^ | 12/16/2022 | John Nolte

Posted on 12/16/2022 3:54:32 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

It doesn’t get any sadder than this: “19 percent of men and 12 percent of women in the 25-34 demographic cohabit with their parents.”

Nearly a fifth — a fifth! — of men aged 25-34 live with Mom and Dad?

What?

At least the parents aren’t happy about it.

The Hill reports:

Wow.
I moved into my first apartment when I was 20.
Of course that was 38 years ago...

The Student Loan deadbeats. All they want to do is poke at their cellphone all day and all night.

>>>"It was 1985; I made $5.00 an hour; I made it. Barely. But I made it. My own apartment (no roommate), a bus pass every week, phone, electric, groceries… I made it."<<<

Back then, rent was $350/month, and you could buy a used car for $300.

My high school graduation gift was 2 suitcases. My clothes were in them.
My Mother said I should attend summer school.
By the way, I paid for all my college working at Safeway.

I had my own apartment in my senior year of high school, for a while I had to rent my couch to a Bandido to pay the rent, until I had to kick him out for insulting a girl and being cowardly.

The 1950’t0 70’s was an aberration in the sense that corporations and businesses only had America to go to, because Europe was rebuilding and the third world wasn’t sophisticated enough to attract much in the way of investment. Now, America is having to compete and wages are falling and qualifications, for good jobs, are rising.

That’s what we are seeing is a return to older style family unit and clansmanship.

I like this. The silver lining?
Unintended consequences?

Truly depends on the mindset of the young adults. In America in the 2000’s kids are ‘supposed’ to move out of the house shortly after high school.

Other cultures they stay home and be productive and enjoy family. My oldest left right out of high school, my youngest graduated from HS and while still a teenager is living here.

Very productive, moving ahead with promotions at her work, in a committed relationship with her boyfriend and saving money.

I can definitely see the upside of a society where families investing themselves becomes a norm again.

I suspect they never figured on this.
F’em !

That is a great graphic.

A lot of people don’t get it. They just remember that they got the American Dream with a bit of good old fashioned hard work.

Today, it’s very, very different. I feel bad for young people. They do drive me crazy with their stupid SJW BS, but young people have been handed a rotten deal. I was a teenager in the 70s. I was very lucky.

Yeah, I'm Gen-X so I get it.

I'm between the Boomer and Millennial generations.

The generations of affluence, where the hospital bill for a child's broken arm after he fell off the swing set was $50 without insurance but a new color TV cost four months wages.

Where a meat-cutter at the grocery store could buy a house in the suburbs and send his kids to college.

And the generation today, where the nicest 85" 4K TV costs about a day's wages but a broken arm will bankrupt you.

Where a college degree in transgender basketweaving costs five figures but you need that degree too work at Starbucks making coffee.

Weird times...

I actually have no problem with cohesive multi generational family units, per se.

The Waltons come to mind. Of course it was the depression.

Especially once a man marries he needs to establish his own household if possible, which usually means physically moving.

Your parents were like mine. My mom said she wasn’t going to take care of me and I needed to be out on my own. I rented a small efficiency apartment for $100.00 a month. Worked my way through college working on cars and doing construction work.

No natural. Give the parents some space.
