Are people seriously justifying mooching off your parents at 30? some of us where signing leases/ carrying our own health insurance, paying our phone cellphone bills in our teens.

and eating ramen every night as a result.

generally, Millennials, as a group, are both treated like, and act like babies

I gave eddie Reps.
One of the reasons Chelsea became so expensive was because of the gay population.

What household earns more than a woman and man both who both work? TWO MEN both working with no kids.

The irony is feminism in a lot of ways has shot women in the foot.

You need to make **** money to qualify for those apts (i always made too much). I hope you are applying for the 130% AMI apts not the 40% AMI apts.

You should buy instead of rent.

The city is expensive and if parent's have $$$ to spare, why not help out here and there? Does anyone else have the opposite situation (partially supporting a parent)?

I do believe women working has led to a higher cost of living, particularly with housing. The 2 income household standard was set and now everyone must live by it. Not to mention obesity levels as there is no one home to cook home made meals. I think it was better with defined gender roles. Nature has defined gender roles, humans though are going against it.
Sure was 100% better. FOR MEN

I think it would be nice if both members of a couple didn't have to work. Or if both could work part time if they wanted to.
