article posted:

For the first time on record, living with parents is now the most common arrangement for people ages 18 to 34, an analysis of census data by the Pew Research Center has found.

And the proportion of older millennials — those ages 25 to 34 — who are living at home has reached its highest point (19 percent) on record, Pew analysts said.

Nearly one-third of all millennials live with their parents, slightly more than the proportion who live with a spouse or partner. It's the first time that living at home has outpaced living with a spouse for this age group since such record-keeping began in 1880.

LOL, good job everyone.

edit: saving money is a wise choice, no hate here

they dont actually live with your mom. that is an excuse your mom makes for all the young people who rotate through her bedroom. also it is very strange that you call your mother mommy as an adult.

I wonder if the economy plays into this, at all. Or, perhaps it is because some Oberlin students are dumb. Take your pick.

there was a good study about how only 7 counties (yes counties) in the entire country now drive all of the jobs (down from like 50 in the 90s) and i thought to myself what pieces of poo poo the people outside of those counties are

Wrong! The economy is totally perfect and strong. It is strictly because millenials bad. Weak piss babies. Not strong like old people.

I date millennials. They're usually ok. I barely snuck into Gen X, or the Oregon Trail generation of you accept that as a real one.

ITT: people that thinks it's cool to pay rent. Real talk: it's not.

If I could spend 30 minutes with my mom without us yelling at each other and if she wouldn't charge rent because she is such a ball breaker I'd live free with my parents if I could.

Paying rent is for the birds. No rent payment is like a free zip of cocaine per month, nerds. Get your poo poo together.

Nailed it. It was a shame-based scam for rent-seeking republicans to get more money by telling Americans that each and every single one of them needs to have their own ridiculously priced mortgage or lease to have any self-esteem.

Sex with millennials is ok but as far as dating goes I have to stick with early Gen X or baby boomers to find someone intelligent and well-read enough to have a real conversation between naked lay down time. It's really hard to have a serious conversation with someone that thinks video games are a legitimate hobby or even a legitimate goddamned job.

Nah, living on your own is fun and cool. Just don't live outside your means. You can gently caress your girlfriend in the kitchen in the middle of the day and no one can day anything about it. Or watch TV naked while snorting coke off a NIN cd. It's just the way any young person should experience before the crippling reality of your mid 30's beats you to the ground.
