[quote=Anonymous]My kids are early 20s - one is financially independent in a big city and the other was independent in another big city for a few years but will be moving home to take a few prerequisites for a challenging grad course they want to pursue.  Moving home makes sense for young adults in many situations - they want to work or intern for a non-profit that is low paying for the experience, they want to return to grad school and one of the local options is best (and don't want loans for living), they are saving for a house, they are having trouble finding work and need a home base for the job search, they hated their job, and want to make a career change etc.  My DC knows quite a few kids that are home for various reasons that make sense.  I also know of other young people living at home because they dropped out of college or have mental health issues that prevent them from holding a job.  Severe mental health challenges are a bigger issue and something you cannot easily anticipate or remedy.    I don't know of many kids that just want to loaf around and have mom cook dinner every night because its easy street.  [/quote]
