Participant[quote=JohnAlt91941]
Why don’t you research that?[/quote]
Do you think I really need to do a research on that? How many uber rich people out there vs poor/middle/upper middle class?[quote=JohnAlt91941]I don’t see those as the only two options, do you? To me it seems like leaving the house at 22-23 with a degree in hand or some younger age for those not attending college is ideal.[/quote]
No, those are not the two options, but reading this thread, one would think that anyone who stay at home past 18 are leechers. I personally think there is no ideal. What’s ideal for you wouldn’t be ideal for me and vice versa.[quote=JohnAlt91941]BTW, what’s wrong with “barely getting by”. I’ve done it and would rather do that on my own than be financially dependent.[/quote] Having a degree is hardly what I call “barely getting by”. What I would consider “barely getting by” is working minimum wage, living pay check to pay check with no end in sight, have no higher education, etc.
You fail to see the difference between being kicked out and leaving by your own accord. I can’t believe parents actually would kick out their kids, but I also can’t believe parents would spoil their kids rotten either.
ParticipantI wonder what’s the ratio of 30 year old deadbeat living off parents $ vs 30 year old who got kicked out of the house at 17-18 and end up doing drugs or barely getting by.

Participant[quote=briansd1]That’s exactly how I feel, Gandalf.
The Democrats and Republicans are the establishment. The establishment failed us.
But still within the establishment, there’s proportional guilt; and, for sure, the largest share of guilt belongs to the Republicans.[/quote]

Not sure when you went to college, but in order for wage to gone up only 40-60%, according to the minimum wage data, you must be going to college around mid 90s, correct? Here’s the historical data: http://www.thedigeratilife.com/blog/federal-minimum-wage-history/Back in the mid 90s, a 2/2 apartment in Mira was going for ~$1000/month. Today, that SAME 2/2 is going for ~$1350/month. So, income has gone up 40-60% while rent has gone up ~35%. I know the rent in mid 90s because I know someone who was renting that same 2/2 apartment in 1995.
