Well said my friend. This should be a basic 101 for everyone in 9th - 12th grade so they can hopefully learn from the errors of past adults and get the education they need to work and dig a deep hole that burdens them for life with debt.

....and keep people from moving back in with mom and dad when they turn 26....

I have mixed feelings about this as my son once he finished college moved out and never looked back. Successful Graphic designer and loves his life, productive and works fine.

My daughter also successful as a Benefits HR employee at Tommy Bahama but still lives at home. Has a great relationship with her mom and me and over all productive and successful as she pays her own way. 

We have have many discussions and she does not see the need to move out. She pays her own way, loves hanging out with us when she does not work out or hang with her friends. 

I think it really depends on the example set by the parents. You can have kids at home or out that are very successful or you can have kids that suck you dry and cause nothing but problems for you.

Really depends on how you raise them.

My son lives at home (my 23 year old) because he is saving money for a house.

I have no problem with them living at home, I have a problem with them doing so because they have no other choice.

agree, as long as people are productive and earning an income that supports themselves and pays the bills, if they choose to live with parents because they have longer plans, more power to them. My daughter is also saving for her own house while living with us.
