[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless they've severe health issues,[b] its rare for a young American to be living at home after 20 [/b]if they have had enough social, professional, logistical and financial skills to live independently. [/quote] This is not remotely true. [/quote] It is. Only people living at home after 20 are ones who can't physically, logistically, mentally or financially make it work. That doesn't mean they are doomed to failure but not able to launch like average young adult.[/quote] You are nuts. At 20, most who plan to obtain a college degree are still in college, and only a tiny % of them are self supporting. [/quote] At 20, they are on college campus and by 22, in first job or grad school. Even ones with longest educational journey of medicine are usually entering residency by 25 and earning. Yes, some parents may subsidize lifestyle but not by keeping them in basement at home.
