So ATOT was just a trend setter...

Millennials need to live at home with parents because they already have another home with mortgage. It's called student loans and sometimes it's much as a house payment. And with rents so expensive now, I don't blame them. After paying high rent and student loans, they would have nothing. That's shitty way to live for 20 years.

I see this trend with almost every young engineer we hire these days. It is a normal thing to move back in with mom and dad until marriage. And marriage seems to be something done at a much later age now as well. Early/mid 30's seems to be about the new normal.

I guess I can see the benefit. Sock away a bunch of cash for a few years until it is time to move out and start a family. Still, I hope my kids aren't planning on this!

Everyone I know living with mommy and daddy aren't socking away money. They are lucky if they are even working. Usually they are just blowing money going to the bars every night.

Wow that's sad. I fully understand people living with their parents later, because cost of living is through the roof while job market is stagnant and so are salaries unless you get really lucky. The average person that does not have fancy education (ex: more than just college) under their belt does not stand much chance. So they need to stay at home longer to save up, or even find a job.

But a pro sport player making millions? That just seems so absurd. He can buy a house cash.

I moved out at about 23ish if I recall. I graduated, then worked full time a few years to pickup money then bought my house.

i don't see the problem with it, if neither party minds. everyone saves money that way.

shoot, one of my friends used to live in india in a big house with 70 close and extended family members.

he said that could get annoying at times

You know who says living at home is cool?

People that live at home.

(The rest of us, especially women, think you just don't have resources to be a good provider and are too dependent, making you a poor mate)

Reading the article, Jeff Teague owns the house (under his name), he just let his parents live there while he was in Atlanta. Since he was traded to Indiana, he's just moving back in his own home. His Buckhead condo in Atlanta was recently listed for around $5 million I believe.

not a problem if you don't care about finding a mate though

So you live in your parent's basement?

Oh that's different then, it sounds more like he's helping them if anything. Letting them live there on a more or less permanent basis, so it's kinda like he's "moving back" with them but not in the sense they make it sound like.

Hipsters are a subculture characterized chiefly by the categorical rejection of anything that material, pop, or mainstream culture tells them to value. They then value the opposite thing as an expression of "irony".

Sorta like in my anti-conformity slash punk days where we did the opposite of whatever was trendy/fashionable to the majority then engaged in same thing establishing conformity to our way of things and diminished everyone who didn't, even deeming anyone "posers" who half-way were into it but not really as much as we were. We were really full of ourselves for maybe a year but I did figure it out.

I mean, I'm still anti-conformity in a way but it's now rooted in critical reasoning and scrutiny of each and every question on it's own merits. I don't try to create overly broad generalizations connecting things that aren't really related.
