Kids are living with their parents long, getting married later, and choosing not to have kids because cost of living has gone up so much while wages have stagnated.
My dad supported his family (My mom, sister, and me) while earning minimum wage. That is unheard of nowadays.
Youth is being used very broadly here. Apparently I was ripped of as I had to grow up and obtain my own benefits at 18, which I am thankful for. I am not in my 40’s residing in my grandmas basement. We just keep on enabling. Shameful.
Youth is 16-17
