A third of young adults between the ages of 25 and 35 – 25.2 million people – were living with their parents in 2025. Of those, 70% had jobs, and many held college degrees, highlighting that the increase in at-home living stems from high housing costs rather than labor market conditions.

    My best & oldest friend died of a brain aneurysm in his parents basement a few months ago.

    Not young, but not old. 43.

    So at least those of you who didn’t get kicked out have that to look forward to.

      I’m sorry for your loss. I’m never kicking my kids out, I don’t look fondly on parents that do.

        I have always felt this way but I have known some people who did awful things to their parents stealing almost anything of value for their substance abuse issues and stuff like that.

        I want to say I’d never kick my kids out but if theu grew into people like that then I wouldn’t see any other choice.
