[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is Michelle Singletary. I object to the headline. If you read my columns, you will see our children's choice to live at home is not a failure to launch but a financial triumph. As a family, we discussed what was the most economical way for them to launch. And living at home rent-free in exchange for saving thousands a month will be a game changer for them. One daughter is saving 15% of her income for retirement while also investing in a non-retirement account. She plans to save most of her salary for a downpayment on a home. Our son is on the autism spectrum and he's saving for the time he will also be able to leave and go right into home ownership. The same for our youngest child, who is an educator. Right now, all three of our children have more saved than many people we know who are making six-figure salaries. They are very money-savvy. In many cultures, it is not a sign of failure to live at home. It's being money smart.[/quote]

YES.
