The boomerang kids won’t leave

“..And 60 percent of all young adults receive financial support from them. That’s a significant increase from a generation ago, when only one in 10 young adults moved back home and few received financial support.”

 

While reading this article I came across this section where a piece of factual information caught my eye.  In the current situation that I find myself in going out of state for college, I will ultimately find myself fresh out of college moving back into my parent’s house working to pay off my student debt.  What I did not know though was that 60% of young adults still receive financial support from their parents.  This makes me really want to try my best in school so that by my senior year I will have a job set up for me to take off after school and start my career while paying off my loans and hopefully not having to have no choice but to be dependant on my family. This also makes me think if people don’t see a problem with moving back in after college. Also thinking about how last generations students 9 out of 10 went onto start their lives on their own in their own living space while that 10% will go back home and move in with their parents.  Especially in today’s day, I see that being a problem with covid as well.
