I was definitely only an emerging adult in my 20s. If that. I'm still not a real person, at age 30.https://twitter.com/DavidMDrucker/status/895633320297582592 …
Good dad. I was informed at age 18 to go find a place to live & pay rent.

Oh I stayed with them for three months between jobs -- paid rent and had chores. No help with rent when I moved to DC/NYC.

Sounds familiar. Good parents.

The hard part is you're competing for jobs against people who have the financial edge. I don't miss the 20s.

I don't agree with the notion of "kick them out when they're 18". It's very modern and these days unrealistic.

That doesn't have to be the benchmark but there should be some modicum of 'go do it on your own.'

If you go to college, you're generally either getting financial support from your parents or loans. I don't think it counts.

For three years after college I was at home to support my mother because my father was very ill, and I was saving to pay back loans.
-
Very different situation.

Is it? I've moved out we still help each other a lot. I'm still getting financial suppt from her -- her mother died & it's inheritance.

I know a lot of people in their 20s who live in apartments fully paid for by parents. That's their choice; it wasn't that way for me.

It's not my apartment, its graduate school & savings...
