[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, it's a thing. College was a rude awakening for me. At 45, I'm finally back to where my parents were when I left home.[/quote] Weren't your parents probably about 45 when you left home? Where do people get this idea that their 22 year olds should be living the same way as their parents are in midlife?[/quote] Like most problems in modern society, I blame social media. Our friend's daughter moved back home with her parents after college not because she couldn't afford her own place, but because (and I'm serious here) she couldn't afford an apartment and furniture that she could boast about on social media. Gen X and older Millennials didn't have an expectation that their first apartment could be featured on an episode of Cribs (to give an age-appropriate reference). [/quote]
