[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I tend to agree with much of this. The millennials I know almost all live with their parents because (supposedly) they're saving up money, but they lack for nothing (new iPhones, clothes, cars) and take ski trips to Aspen. I have a hard time imagining that their bank accounts are flush.

[b]One is actively looking for an apartment -- with his mom, of course -- and has turned down every option for some reason: too small, too dark, the kitchen isn't updated, too loud, too close to public housing, too far from mommie and daddy.[/b] He wants to get a roommate, but he refuses to share a bathroom and his mother agrees that sharing a bathroom with "a stranger" is unacceptable for her snowflake.

Can't exactly weep for them.[/quote]

A number of the bolded are legitimate concerns.  If he's staying with his parents and saving money, and has his parents' support in looking for an apartment, where is the negative?  He's a lucky guy, certainly, but there's nothing wrong with what he's doing (I must admit I'm under the impression that he holds a job and is choosing to stay with his parents to save his money and find a first apartment he really likes).[/quote]
