Young adults face myriad economic challenges in 2024 America. College costs and student debt loads are rising. House prices have soared. Mercurial inflation and interest rates have vexed consumers.
Parents, for their part, seem ever more inclined to carry on with parenting well past the age a child exits childhood, removing every obstacle in their path. Some researchers call it “snowplow” parenting.

This sounds a lot like they’re blaming parents. And not the fucking backwards concept of life in this country.
“Parents are giving up retirement to keep their kids out of crippling debt. Have parents gone too far?”

Haha we can’t afford kids, many 30 years are still relying on parental help or living at home.
