As the recession looms, the the number of young adults ages 18-34 are returning home in increasing numbers. I find that this is not necessarily a bad thing since western society is one of the few cultures that look forward the magical age of 18, indicating the legal age of adulthood and where the kids "move out." Let's think about it. Although an 18-year-old year can purchase cigarettes, they can't obtain student aid for college with out a parent or spouse. I find the latter to be of greater necessity than the former. From a different perspective, perhaps the move back will allow young adults to rethink some life choices before venturing out into the world without solid landing gear. Hard times has a way of pulling us apart of causing us to stick together. Hopefully, many families will build stronger bonds as we weather this financial storm.
