Dave Ramsey said it best. He said a parents home should be a safety net not a hammock.
He and a caller were discussing this exact topic.

Of course I would, why wouldn't I For all you know he makes good money and is saving to buy a house. Sorry, I see nothing wrong with that because my daughter did it. She moved out when she got married at age 25. She paid her bills and saved the rest. She had well over 20,000 when she moved out. So tell me what is wrong with her living at home until she was 25.

Obviously when making such a statement thats untrue you shouldn't follow it up with the morons comment........
There actually isn't that much inflation at least not since 2008.

Historical Inflation Rates: 1914-2014, Annual and Monthly Tables - US Inflation Calculator

The issue is that people are morons and associate price changes in a few visible commodities based on seasonal or supply variances as "inflation"

I'm still wondering why you would be so anxious to get married in your mid 20's, let alone concerning
yourself with why a guy in his 20's is living with his parents or not.

Maybe they don't believe in premarital sex.

Actually the answer is a resounding no. If you go and talk to immigrants or are descended from more recent immigrants such that you have a living memory of their experiences you will know that they generally move to places where they have relatives, folks from the town the are from in the old country, or other folks they know for a support system so they can get a job. I suspect that even among illegal immigrants they generally know someone who will set them up when they get here.

You got exactly what you wanted, so why aren't you happy?

I seriously doubt many people actually wanted that. I tend to think such view are more about the bitterness of the person spouting it, generally relating to an election or policy loss, rather then an actual reflection of what folks want or wanted.

Excellent.....the Laws of Economics are working exactly as they should be.
Yes indeed, now if only folks advocated low cost re-location could understand this concept.

I was too homely of a guy to be able to date women. They would say that I looked like an abortion that lived. So I lived with my parents for a long time. Since I couldn't get sex, there was no need for me to have my own home for privacy. But I eventually saved up a lot of money and decided to invest in it by arranging with a contractor to build my own home. That was an enjoyable experience. Now that I'm older, it's even harder to get a date, but I'm too old now to complain about it. I'm happy enough sharing my home with a black cat for companionship. My mother didn't like cats, anyway. So didn't adopt one, until I moved out.
