    Of course you're right, but I have also observed, and read about in
    the paper, that (some) people in their 20's are reluctant to live
    without the comforts of their parent's home.  Cable, cell phones,
    high speed internet, student loans, new cars, etc.  Expectations are
    higher.  The minimum to get by is quite a lot, for some people. 

    I just read an article about this -- about boomerang kids moving
    back home and the problems it causes for their parents.  If I
    remember where I read it I'll post.
