    More than half of people under 30 live with their parents now.

    And I’m not saying that’s necessary a bad thing, that’s a norm in most parts of the world. But we aren’t really socialized that way. People are living at home with parents who harangue them daily about not getting a good enough job and who aren’t planning on leaving their home to their children.

      My dad would constantly call me “loser” and other deprecating shit when I was still living with him and my mom in my early 20s. Even when i was making pretty good dough (but still not enough to live on my own) and was paying them a few hundred dollars a month, buying all my own food and paying 100% of the Internet bill.

      I don’t miss that at all. I feel for people who have no choice but to be in that predicament.
