Exactly: In the 1970s, you wanted ‘to leave home for a life of your own, even if it meant living in a hovel’

March 17, 2014 By Kathy Shaidle

So very true.

PLUS: I hate kids these days…

One of the reasons 80% of Gen Y live with their parents after college is that their Baby Boomer parents are living in McMansions. The next generation will not have so big a house to come home to.

And the unemployment rate for Gen Y is high, but it’s artificially high. They were raised to accept only a job that’s a dream job, so for Gen Y, going to their parents house is better than taking a bad job. And now they are unemployed.
