The Boomerang Generation


The Fullerton Sentinel
 25- to 34-year old "kids" are moving back in with Mom and Dad at a record rate.  

By The Fullerton Sentinel

The Huffington Post reported on a study in the Transitions to Adulthood titled "What's Going on with Young People Today? The Long and Twisting Path to Adulthood".  Just reading the title will make you feel old! 

ScienceDaily wrote a great synopsis: "Despite living in an age of iPads and hybrid cars, young Americans are more like the young adults of the early 1900s than the baby boom generation: They are living at home longer, are financially insecure and are making lower wages."

So much for retiring, selling the house, and downsizing into a condo while you tour the country in your RV.  The bottom line for Mom and Dad, don't get too comfy; the kids are coming back!
