I read statistics of how less and less people are getting married and how a lot more kids are moving back home after college or still living with their parents after the age of 25. Now that makes me wonder if this means that once a lot of these people hit their 30s and get their financial/economic situations worked out, a lot of them are going to want to spend a few years just living it up by drinking, enjoying nightlife, occasionally partying at nightclubs/bars, and doing the sorts of things they might not have experienced in college or right after college.

I'm 29 and I've lived on my own, or with boyfriends, after college. I've never had a great job. However, if I were to get a really good job, I would rather buy a home or condo. I can't speak for all 30 year olds, but even as a poor young person I did enough partying in my college and early adult years.

There was a similar thread like this a while back, it got closed. This sounds very similar.

If they did not experience this while they were still at home they only have themselves to blame. I did my thing in college. Did not have to wait until I left college to experience these things.

So no, because most are going to have these experiences in their twenties. Those that did not, have other issues they need to work out. Perhaps they're just not that outgoing in the first place.

Everyone I regularly associate with is in the 30+ demographic, and for us "living it up" is more likely to happen before 10pm and probably at someone's house rather than at a crowded bar. Lots of people of all ages still go out, but staying out all night getting wasted and indiscriminately sleeping around is generally a young person's game.

Isn't that what your college years are for?

NO need to do it all again in your 30s.
Besides, the vast majority of the 30 something I know are married homeowners, and many are starting families

God, I hope not. Nothing more depressing than a 35 year old who acts like a spring breaker. Grow the f@#k up.

Where I live, quite a few people in their 30s like to party

I think of people as being young until their late 30s

Why would you imagine they wouldn't be doing it just because they're at their parents' house? I know mine wouldn't have objected to my being out.
