I'm 25 and I've lived in my parents basement for the past 3 years while working a full time job to try to support myself and be financially stable enough to move out and not move back. It's not easy to afford apartments and my parents help lend me money and I make payments every week to pay them back for my bills, etc. Don't know where I'd be without them! ❤

[@sidneyboo9704]

Nothing wrong with that and I think its smart. In this economy, its expensive!

[@nightshade8445]

@Liberals are Mentally ill I pay rent lol I wouldn't be able to live there if I didn't. I also have other bills I'm paying off to them from them loaning me thousands of dollars. I could give you a detailed run down if you need that 🤣😛

[@kootiblu113]

I think it goes both ways. People are having a hard time affording things on their own regardless of age. They gotta pool resources in these hard times. Elderly people need help too you guys. Social security isn't cutting it.

[@arthurbrumagem3844]

Welfare pays better then social security in many cases

[@sidneyboo9704]

Agreed. If parents are well off and their children can't even get a home, I dont understand why parents can't lend a hand.

[@MaryJane.007]

Aren’t there millions of jobs available right now - isnt there a shortage of workers?

[@babygamer405]

The free loading generation IMO.

[@kevinklein9565]

@@babygamer405naw bich, as a boomer myself, we screwed these kids over. We were lucky and experienced a great economy, affordable living, easy career paths and wages… they don’t have that luxury

[@jadude119]

Must be nice. My generation is pathetic.

[@babygamer405]

This is not that bad. I know parents who have grown adults living in the basement free loading and don't work or go to school. Now that's sad.

[@PBRstreetgang88]

My utilities are like 25 dollars and rents 750, that dudes got it made.

[@Michelle-ez9hs]

You got it made. 775 in monthly expenses is unheard of

[@zanoubas9111]

It must be nice.

[@waynewilson4336]

Who’s gonna help you?

[@misterpsych3804]

These “kids” better be working 60 hours a week!

[@arthurbrumagem3844]

So boomers are helping their kids but boomers are evil. 😂

[@melissamelissa1796]

Yep yep my mom helps me out a lot. I am so so so grateful I thank her all the time.👏👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌.

[@fullmoonofass2895]

I don't blame these parents I'd do the same love them support them until they can on their own which they will.

[@jonathanbuko1748]

Must be a slow news day

[@Kellimocha]

Houses are to expensive 😅 families living together to make end meet. Grandma 👵 kids and Grandkids

Give someone a fish, they eat for a day. Teach them to fish, they'll eat for the rest of their life. It's good to bail them out, but teach them money management, teach them frugality, teach them how to invest.
