Men, African-Americans, Hispanics and less educated young people are particularly likely to live

with their parents due to economic reasons not because they like free stuff

Thank you to who ever got that millennial DU put down post locked

Men, African-Americans, Hispanics and less educated young people are particularly likely to live wit
parents . They are not all hooked on just free stuff but believe what you want

Certain portion of a certain age group of a past large population boom that are
out of the employment sector, because they are retired now or in a good place with experience and /or 401 K and also those of any age in certain income stratospheres, are far removed and can not relate it seems .
Not the first time I have run in to that talk

...includes the word 'just', it's someone who hasn't quite understood their own levels of Dunning-Kruger.

"They just like free stuff!"
"They're just all criminals!"
"They just want attention!"
"It's just a joke!"

Now, every now and then you'll get a legitimate 'just', but darned if it isn't a good predictor about 97% of the time.

it has been shown some college betters your chances but it's a chance to work or a better job, not the free college they want as the goal

"Less educated young adults are also more likely to live with their parents than are their college-educated counterparts — no surprise, Pew notes, given the financial prospects in today's economy.

Black and Hispanic young people, compared with white people, are in the same situation."

Maybe that second point is another issue altogether where perhaps education isn't the key factor
