[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is misquoting the article which does not say that Michelle Singletary has 3 adult children living at home.  The article is an online conversation with a financial planner psychologist who says she has 3 adult children living at home.  Please read folks.  [/quote]

Please re-read. The "My Take" answer is Singletary. And I'm not surprised. She is cheap and thinks she has to be controlling everything in her family. Easier to do when the adult children live at home.[/quote]

Yes, and in that section is a link to this article by Singletary.

"My husband and I have taken a different tack with our children. We have begged them to live at home. We want them here at least until their 30s. Hear me out before you claim we’re just coddling them.

A year after getting her master’s degree and doing an internship in Texas, our eldest moved home and is saving the vast majority of her yearly income. At 27, she’s plowing 15 percent of her gross pay into her 401(k). She’s saving up to pay cash for an electric vehicle in about three years.

Our son graduated from college last year and is still living at home. He’s working two part-time jobs while studying to enter the actuarial field. We are in no rush to see him go. He’s lovely to have around — plus he’s the main dog-walker."[/quote]
