Grown Men living at home (Generation Y)

I'm not sure if this is a phenomena in my community or just people that I come across, but does there seem to be a lot of grown men (labeled as anyone older than 24-35 and in the parameters of the Generation Y or Millennials and latter births of Generation X) still living at home?

Actually a bit mixed, 1 black, 2 Hispanic, 4 white.

Been self sufficient and on my own since 17. Couple short term stays in between college. Here is one case.

32 years old. College grad. Has worked up to assistant manager at a movie theater restaurant. A couple DUIs did him in and back with the kin folk. Finds it acceptable to live in parents place. They actually had a man cave room he would host get togethers. A chill place to have a fantasy draft or watch a game. Word is that parents have put their footdown and no longer allow visitors.

I considered that before I posted this topic Randis and aside from one of these "helping hands" the other guys are just bums who cant seem to get their act together. Most of these men are in 30s and live a lifestyle of a 20 year old. How some of them pick up women with no bachelor pad just baffles me. Some are still under the parents cell phone plans, car insurance, etc.,

My mom pushed for me to stay but by the time I graduated I was already earning and felt a sense of pride getting out and having my own spot. Been thru a dozen roommates, never really having many issues. Learned a lot about home economics that way.

Idk what the point of the thread is, I just noticed too many people mooching and that irks me.

Hope your luck changes on baseball ad1260. I'm taking a break from gambling. I do play my buddy's WNBA picks time to time but Im gearing up for football. Trying to read up on as much info as I can. Really going to hit the fantasy props hard this year.

Your situation is one I can reason with. Our generation are the unfortunate ones. Maybe its the culture that suggested that we go to college and that guarantees us a solid job and middle class life. I'm glad I went to business school, degrees in Marketing and in Finance, but all I could find were sales jobs. I lucked out and got into management. I enjoy it and that's where I've chosen to focus on.

Cost of living is high

Many of our youth is drowned in student loan debt

Jobs aren't paying enough, especially entry level

And these people are accustomed to a standard or living at home with parents that they wouldn't be able to match out on their own.

I wonder how this issue will affect future generations. It could be positive. Parents and their children stay closer for a longer period of time.

Actually the black men are too busy living with the white moms.

Amazing what they will do for some black schlong.

You nailed it dear sir!

But we have to coddle this generation. They make excuses for everything.
