Summary: <a rel="NOFOLLOW" href="https://ultimateradioshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/MBFLP-219-Adult-Kids-Back-Home-FB.jpg"></a><br> What do you do when the adult kids move out ... and then come back?<br> It's not uncommon - the Census Bureau reports that more than one out of three Millennials (ages 18-34) are living at home with their parents. (In some states, it's nearly 50%!)<br> <br> * <a rel="NOFOLLOW" href="https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2017/08/young-adults.html">"A Third of Young Adults Live With Their Parents"</a><br> Jonathan Vespa, U.S. Census Bureau<br> * <a rel="NOFOLLOW" href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/percentage-of-young-americans-living-with-their-parents-is-40-percent-a-75-year-high/">"Young adults living with their parents hits a 75-year high"</a><br> Aimee Pichi, CBS News<br> <br> This is not unusual historically - when we look back in our family history a hundred years or more, we see it was common for adult children to be living with parents and sharing the work of farm, forge, and kitchen - or for newlyweds to be living with their parents or in-laws for a time, too.<br> <br> But this has become more common in recent years. Why?<br> <br> Young people are getting married later - age of first marriage is approaching 30 for men and 27 for women<br> <br> * In 1976, 75% of men and 93% of women were married by age 30<br> * In 2014, it was half that - 32% of men and 46% of women<br> * More Millennials live with their parents than with a spouse<br> <br> Student loan debt is a serious burden to many, too. The average college graduate with a bachelor's degree left school with nearly $28,500 in debt<br> <br> * <a rel="NOFOLLOW" href="https://www.nerdwallet.com/blog/loans/student-loans/student-loan-debt/">"Student Load Debt Statistics"</a><br> Brianna McGurran, NerdWallet.com<br> <br> And this all happening in the midst of a long, sluggish recovery from the financial crises of 2008 and beyond.<br> <br> So it's not surprising or rare for parents to find themselves with a twenty-something son or daughter moving back into their old bedroom.<br> The question is, how can we make this work for all of us?<br> <a rel="NOFOLLOW" href="https://ultimateradioshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/MBFLP-219-Adult-Kids-Back-Home-P.jpg"></a><br> <br> <br> This episode is brought to you by<br> <a rel="NOFOLLOW" href="http://www.craftsmancrate.com/"></a><br> <br> The subscription box that builds your skills!<br> <a rel="NOFOLLOW" href="http://www.craftsmancrate.com/">www.CraftsmanCrate.com</a><br> <br> <br>
