    Pro tip: neither of these things are monumental. Money can be made, and women can be gotten, by almost the entire population.

    And to answer you OP, its because its become commonplace for kids to move back with their parents or stay there into their mid 20's. Back in the day they kicked you out and expected you to fend for yourself

    Money can be made, sure, and it's easy to make ANY amount of money. The thing is that you have to make a large amount of money (about $5000 or more) to move out, and that takes a fucking while, even if you only spend money on rarely eating out and paying for gas/insurance.

    Moving out for me was really easy. The best possible situation is to rent a home that's owned by someone you know. I'm in my second pad now with new roommates (still all friends) and even making the move here was pretty simple. I could imagine it's pretty tough though if it's just you. But even then, you can find roommates.

    Because the chances are that you'll get a job right after college with a wage high enough to afford all the necessities by yourself gets smaller and smaller every year.

    >$5000

    Not where I live. Rent is like 400-500 on average. One could easily make it on 2k a month.

    Also, I don't believe it's a bad thing to be living with your parents past your early 20s if you're actually trying and applying every week to try to score a nice paying job. Maybe if you're in your 30s, it's time to try a little harder.

    People need to get over themselves with this whole deadline for moving out. Not everyone makes it at the same time in their life. Everyone is different and is living a different life, it's like people are too autistic to understand that.

    Was that back when the fundies had control over America? I can't think of any other reason for such blatantly anti-social behavior.

    prolonged education periods, trends of internships replacing paid entry-level positions, shift from manufacturing economy to service economy, decline of many media-centered job areas

    essentially, you can't just graduate high school, get a job, and buy a car and a house anymore

    The younger generation, as a workforce, is highly unemployed. The majority of jobs are taken by immigrants. The cost of living has risen, and will continue to rise. Student debt. Wages are stagnant.

    And so on.

    If only those youngsters would just shake a couple hands.

    Sure it's tough, but OP if a lazy fag like me can do it, anyone can. I'm working a boring ass job that pays pretty much minimum wage and I'm not worried. Sure I have my friend and his cushy job to take a lot of weight off of my share of the rent but that's what you've gotta do sometimes.

    Do you mean it's difficult finding somewhere to go or that physically moving out is too difficult?

    The first is because the economy is rekt and the boomers want to regain muh youth and fuck hundreds of people in their 'pad' without the burden we've been shouldering for each other for millennia.

    If you mean it's difficult to move as an action then it's because you have too much stuff. My rule is never to own more than I can fit into a Peugeot 106 (the old one) and still safely and legally drive.

    Its just how society was. You turn 18 and the social expectation was that you had a job, a career path, and were making enough to support yourself. The popularization of degrees changed that, and the economy too.

    Some buddies want to move out and rent a place, but they don't have jobs, and one's an erratic spender. Shit sucks. I'm stuck in my stressful-as-fuck house it seems.
