[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]the going rate for a bedroom in DC [/quote] They can't afford to live in DC. Maybe not many places in the DMV area. Or they think they can with roommates and expect their salary will increase before too long. "I will need to make X, to live in Y area." I might be able to/not likely to. Or I don't want to change my academic/career path. I'd rather live in a lower cost area of the country. They live where they can provide for themselves. Relying on their parents is not a strategy longterm.[/quote] Living with parents should not be the new normal. These kids are focusing their job searches on HCOL cities because (a) they’ve been told that career advancement is more important than family or QOL, and (b) they want to have fun. They should look at cheap, midwestern cities and build their lives there, independent of their parents. Taking a job offer in a HCOL area that can’t pay the rent is a losing proposition.[/quote]
