[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn't "failure to launch" -- this is giving them a leg up to be able to save money so they have a little nest egg when they do move out on their own.

I've got 2024 college grads at home - both working and earning/saving money. They pay most of their own bills but are for the most part saving and paying down small college loans. This isn't failure to launch. Failure to launch is not having any job 6-12 months after college and living at home way past your mid to late 20s.

I'm sure there are quite a few 2024 college grads living at home doing the same thing. [/quote]

This sounds like rationalizing to me. What a strange post.[/quote]

No, I think it’s nice. Many years ago my aunt let me live with her for 6 months while I got established in my first job in NYC out of college and saved enough to afford rent (first, last and security deposit back then). It’s also not easy to find an apartment when you’re young and cheap. She passed away but I’m hoping I can “pay it forward” and help out another young person that way some day. [/quote]

(and BTW - I had to stay with my aunt because my parents wouldn’t let me stay with them … guess how that has worked out for them decades later?)[/quote]
