Of the places I've lived, it's only the US where that's seen as a "failure" of some kind rather than completely normal (that includes a lot of Europe, too). In south Asia it's even more pronounced "You lived by yourself? What the hell? Does your family hate you? My God... you didn't kill somebody did you?"

...(except for the cheeto stained basement dweller part.) In the rest of the world, families share domiciles, with mutual respect for each other and none of the belittling 'basement dweller' bullshit condescension.

love my parents, but a person needs space

...but hey, when in America... do as the Americans do and "Get the hell out!"

Really.

He and his wife take money from shady for-profit diploma mills and banks that provide guaranteed student loans. You can be sure college tuition and student debt will continue to explode under another Clinton WH guaranteed.

Neither does Chelsea. Refinancing does nothing to solve the problem. Like reducing a gushing stab wound to light bleeding.

I will take Bernies solution instead.

they are allowed to stay in their own rooms. Where did the basement come from? Is the economy so bad that parents have to rent out rooms for profit?

What an idiotic and Bubba-headed statement.

'Keyboard commandos', who hate women and minorities.

Didn't you get the memo?

it's because of some of YOUR policies that they are still stuck at home.

adults from leaving home. It has a lot to do with crappy jobs at crappy wages. When a young person is underemployed and barely scrapping by, paying for an apartment and food is a stretch, never mind a student loan payment. No one should graduate from college many thousands in debt in the first place. I was fortunately able to foot the bill for my daughter's college education. She found an ok job and is making her own way. However, as I watched the new graduates at the ceremony last June, I couldn't help but think how many of them will be saddled with debt they might never be able to pay off. It's just wrong.

Two sacks of walking fertilizer.

and count your money.

Yeesh.

Just wondering.

Keep talking, Bill.

that is some cold shit he is shoveling

I bet he had a big smile on his face when he was feeling their pain

Tone deaf.

does this come with it?




how utterly condesending.

go away, bill. just go away.

NOT!!!!!

So, no she isn't dreaming of moving out of the basement. She is dreaming of buying her own house like her sisters did. Who the heck makes their kids stay in the basement anyway? A finished attic is usually nicer.

...your family's collected resources so that you can pay someone out of resources you don't have for a place 'alone' that you are only told you need (You're not an adult if you don't live alone like an idiot!) by a group whose very existence is built on making sure you spend your money constantly. You do this, so you can work separate from your family (no vertical integration here, that's not adult! Only corporations need to vertically integrate!) in a career that you'll pay a ginormous amount of money to enter while your family, now in a house they don't need to be so big, continues to overpay for space that isn't used.

That way you won't need to feel bad when you don't have time to take care of your parents as they are dying (gots ta pay that mortgage!) and/or their house is sold (nursing homes aren't free, natch!), thus liquidating the very last of the combined family resources that, in a sane society, would be kept by you and built on like the wealthy do.

Nice plan, Hill.

Need I remind you, the military that you started fucking up, and the military that Bush finished fucking up.

but he does not get enough in disability. And they are talking about cutting it.
