Adults still living at home is causing a luxury boom

[daemonova]

If you’re in a shared living situation and you don’t use it to stack money, you’re a bum. Male or female.

What are you stacking up for? To squeeze into a condo. To buy the picket fence you can't afford to keep up.

We need to lose these archaic ways of thinking.

What if a man bought it for her?

That’s perfectly fine, and in time if she feels it’s the right move then they can live together to start building if they wanted, but you not up in my fkn house as an adult being a non contributor unless you’re still getting an education in undergrad or post grad

You can choose to go into the workforce right after high school, but you paying bills just like every other adult in this world earning their way

My parents fkd up with my little sister. She’s 36 with 2 kids and her husband and just moved out their house about 5 months ago and she wasn’t paying for shyt under the premise she would save her money to buy a house. She went and bought a 2015 Audi q7 instead and still struggles to keep up on payments on it and juggle her rent so she might be headed back to living with them even though her husband makes decent bread as a plumber

It all depends frfr....for 80s Millenials, our parents are mostly Boomers...at least among my friends and fam. Our parents were pretty much all born between 1945 and 1955.

The younger Gen Xers born in the 70s might have older Boomer parents too. 90s Millenials seem to lean towards Gen X parents.

I always say, if your parents were like "wtf is this" when rap music hit big...probably a Boomer (especially older Boomer). If your parents knew who was hot and poppin in 80s hip-hip at the peak, probably Gen X or a very tail end Boomer.

Yeah I'm an early 90s millennial and my parents are late boomers. I was born in 92 and my parents were born in 58 and 62. And my mom is from Brooklyn so obviously up on 80s and early 90s rap lol

Add all the travel and brunch nikkas do

Most materialistic time ever

Nowadays, it’s completely normal to see someone rocking an LV jacket that cost ten bands or a fukking North Face Gucci bubble coat like it’s nothing. The flex era is making people crazy flamboyant with it. And it be the squarest looking people sometimes. You had to be cut from a certain cloth to rock certain shyt back in the day. Hella folks be looking like a lick waiting to happen nowadays. People used to know their lane. Now geeky Indians rocking authentic Louie varsity jackets and shyt. Dorky cacs rocking exclusive Nike SB’s that resell for $4k. This post lockdown era is bizzaro world.

I thought you knew? All these young nigs riding the bus wearing the latest Dior, Prada, Balenci, LV shoes with Moncler coats with brand new $1800 iPhones not having cars in an area where you basically need a car, not having jobs and if they do have a job it’s at a high turnover rate no security job like Amazon. I be thinking I hope all that shyt is fake. But this is the everybody is rich era. I’d wager anybody who calls everybody a “broke boy” is broke themselves. Jeff Bezos ain’t calling y’all negropeans for financial advice. shyt, Bob who owns the home improvement company ain’t asking your horrible credit having ass for advice. Ol imaginary player ass era. We need the with the army suits and Timb boots movement back to counter all this suspect pedo gender bender Eurocac fast fashion garbage anyway.

Living at home over the age of 25 and not contributing financially, and/or blowing your money on bullshyt, should be called out and frowned upon. Ultimately though, if the parent(s) are okay with that set up, who are we to judge? Not my thing, I think it builds irresponsibility in your grown ass children, but people do what works in their families. Some parents will allow children to stay with no financial obligation because they need the companionship...

Everyone's situation is different...

I do feel strongly in something I've mentioned before though, that black families should get more on board with allowing their kids to stay at home as adults instead of rushing them out. We don't even fully develop as adults until 25 or 26, and too many of us aren't actually ready to live alone when we actually start doing so. shyt creates a bunch of other issues...

Allow your kids to stay home as long as they need, while also reinforcing responsibility in the form of household tasks or paying a bill. You can do all of this and help build most people to a point of comfortability and financial security to go out on their own. Also, life happens, we should be willing to take our kids back in if they need us (divorce, incarceration, lost job, etc are all reasons adults move back home). It's okay; I'm not saying the child who just can't get right at 30+ should still be allowed to stay at home unless there's a mental issue...

But shyt happens and many black parents forget that no matter how "grown" your kids are, they are still YOUR KIDS. There are still times they'll need you in their lives at 19, or 24, or 30, or 37, or whatever. And if you can afford to bring them in you should do so, as I get older I realize how many of us ran out befire we were ready and bear the signs of it to this day...

I made a whole thread on this so I got to speak out... Stop mentioning that shyt

Statistically, black people keep their kids home the most and the longest.. And also statistically, kids staying home has zero positive effect on home owning.
