[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that's the downside to having a very nice UMC life and providing a nice comfortable home. They will never want to leave. I know my kids (13 and under) have no appreciation for how good they have it. But it will become very obvious when they are on their own for their first time trying to make their own way. Home will never look so good. Maybe that will light a fire under them to find their own success but it won't be easy.

Kids can’t imagine not living at home when they’re very young. By the end of high school they can’t wait to leave no matter how comfortable a house is.

[b]Unless the young person has some issues making it hard for them to be independent, they will choose a 6th floor walk up in NYC the size of a walk in closet to be with their peers. [/quote][/b]

That’s what we cared about as Gen Xers. a lot of Gen Z is perfectly happy living with their parents after college for extensive periods. [/quote]

But there’s a difference between living with your parents while working a decent entry level job and/or going to college, and living with your parents and being a NEET. I wouldn’t call the first failure to launch at all. [/quote]
