There is a pretty good chance they ain’t leaving the nest after high school. Wage stagnation, increased housing prices, limited junior job roles. People stay at home forever these days.
I was out of my own by 18 simply because I wanted to get the hell away from my family. However, I would have happily stayed longer until I got more financially secure if they’re weren’t all hateful dog shit people.
Bright side is that they’re out of the house by 45. Still though, I’d rather be relatively free of responsibilities at 25 than 45.
