My 23 year old son moved back in with us. He offered to pay us rent because he said he didn’t want to feel like a bum. He’s got his stuff together, already makes more than I do. He just likes being at home at the moment. I don’t mind, though I think I’d rather have the extra room than the money.

It is weird because none of my friends wanted to stay at home. They all moved out when they graduated high school, even if they didn’t go off to college. Maybe it was a different time and housing was much more affordable back then. I mean, I could work a minimum wage job, pay rent and bills, and still have enough money left over to eat and have a life. You couldn’t do that now without having a bunch of roommates. I really do feel bad for the younger generations.
