Why do people use the old cliche of "living in their parents' basement" as if, as soon as someone graduates from high school or college (in the US), they either move out of their family home or move from their bedroom into the basement? Most people around the world throughout history, and even to this day, and in the US until recently, have lived in the family home until they got/get married, some even after. And there's nothing wrong with that as long as the family dymanics are healthy. It's actually a good way to protect and preserve the family unit, culture and wealth.

Plus, houses are far more expensive now than they were. Plus, if you have a house, you will lose it in divorce.

@joejoejoejoejoejoe4391 True. Men need to put their house in a family trust to protect it from being taken away. Tom Brady has nothing, so he lost nothing in his divorce. He had already given everything to his mother.

They want you blowing $2,000/mo in rent, obviously.

"It takes a village to raise a kid" also is a saying that was from times where extended families lived together and helped newly married couples with the kids. I think the core family is already inducing a sense of isolation from the extended family unit, and even larger community.

That cliche is only used for lazy adults who refuse to grow up and instead mooch off their parents while they play video games.

Many women pursue vanity degrees that they have no intention at all of building a career on. They'll marry a professional, quit their jobs, and hobnob among a certain class of people who reject anyone who doesn't have a university education. I've seen it many times and it's a complete waste of resources better spent on more worthy individuals.

My wife and I have greatly reduced our visits to my parents because my mother is a narcissist who always chooses someone to be the "golden person" (usually someone trying to satisfy all her infinite desires out of naivety or with other intentions) and distills venom against everyone around her, especially against my wife, me and my father. She spreads a bad image of us to other relatives, neighbors and even strangers (like her bank manager). My father would only get to do a small part of the harm she does to us if he were physically violent, but he is not and he would not have the capacity to play the games she does to damage our reputation.

Typical academic mis-read going on in this video... Boys and men not going on to college or dropping out. Nothing to do with girls/women. How about asking some men why? The why is in most cases they have made the common sense decision that a degree isn't going to get them much but a whole lot of student debt and a seat warmer job. Why bother? Anecdote. I had a single guy about 30 come by to replace two roof flashings on my house a couple of days ago. Took him about an hour and I paid him 500 bucks. He said he had six other similar jobs to do that day. So making something like 3 grand with nothing more expensive than a ladder and the pickup truck to get him there. There is so much well paying trades type work around for independents/contractors/consultants that as a guy you'd have to be stupid to go to college.
