What is? The proctor and gamble layoffs, or ‘what’s coming with AI’? |
+1. We've decided not to downsize or move to a different city in retirement. This spring we put in a new hvac system, which we had been putting off in case of a move. |

oh lordy.. I do not want to retire here. Plus, my kids will probably find jobs in other states. |
It really upsets me so much. And I am so upset about not being able to have children in light of this. |

The LA Times has been running interesting articles on homeowners building nice ADUs to accommodate different living needs such as adult children, seniors, and renters for extra income. We have the space and might add an ADU if our adult children move back to this expensive area. |

If you're right, it will be brutal for real estate in high cost of living areas. If people are jobless and finances get tight, people will need to reevaluate if it makes sense to have an expensive house in an expensive area.

They have been warning for years that there will be a shrinking labor force as the boomers retire, there’s a demographic cliff coming for colleges since GenZ and Alpha are smaller than the previous generations and many colleges will close and we will have fewer college graduates.
I am hopeful that this shrinking of our population will help us shoehorn into the new AI, low labor, force participation world, and have jobs for those who want If you have seen ready player one, I worry that is the future where we basically live subsistence lives, plugged into the Internet for entertainment |
I'm sorry, OP. |
I’m sure it’s nice to have my kids living with me, but what about when they are married or dating, do I really want to hear my three daughters and their husband’s in the middle of the night? Not to mention having three families of grandchildren who has a house that big? |
^^ I mean PP. |
DP. It would be out of necessity. Those with the financial wherewithal,like a previous poster, will help their children afford a separate place. |
