[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is also 24.  He graduated from college in Dec 2019 and we suggested he live at home for a year and see where his social life was compared to his job.  Plus, he could save some money.  We said he could if he put $3k a month into a savings plan- over and above the 15% he is putting into his 401k.  Covid hit and he is still living at home.  He works here too as and not had much of a social life since Covid.  We have set next June as a target date for moving out.  He is still working from home, but I expect that to change in Jan.  A bonus of Covid for him is that he has saved more than the $3k month. He just got a promotion and last Jan started a Masters through his employer - online first as a result of Covid. So, he should be set.

I am glad he did not have an apartment from the get go because he would be alone in it and working from home alone.  [/quote]

Do your neighbors know how old he is? The main reason I want him to move out is because I just don't know what our neighbors are thinking....   I am pretty sure they are asking himself why is  Andy still living at home when he graduated college etc... [/quote]

?? Where are you living? We live in DMV and I know many well-to-do people who are from other cultures and they are fairly comfortable with their adult kids living with them.  I guess the main difference is that their children ae making 6 figure salaries, so no one feels that they have not launched. [/quote]

We're in McLean.  Our neighbors have all three of their now college graduate kids living at home again, for various reasons.  They are all smart, nice, young adults who don't seem to have "failed to launch" in any way.  They just like their parents and have various reasons for being there again.  They will leave soon enough, I'm sure the parents don't need to rush them.  For the record, I didn't think anything of it one way or the other--why would i?[/quote]
 Is this just a Covid safety and work remotely thing? [/quote] I am a different poster from the pp, but also live in McLean. It is not really covid safety, but they are WFH and who wants to WFH alone in an apartment and then be alone at night.  One was WFH for west coast FAANG  in, he left in Sept after more than a year at home.  The others are WFH but with local companies.  I expect most will move out by next June.  [/quote]
