That stat about how many people move back home surprised me
I was just reading an article from the Pew Research Center (stumbled on it while waiting for a doctor's appointment) and it said 1 in 5 adults between 25 and 34 live with their parents now. That's way higher than I expected, especially since my own move back to my mom's place in Denver felt like a weird failure at first. I packed up my apartment in June after a breakup and a job loss in the same month, and I figured I was just unlucky. Turns out it's pretty common these days. Anyone else here ended up back at their parents' house for a while and felt weird about it?

Dude, honestly I see it totally different. My brother lived at home until he was 30 and saved enough to buy his own place outright in cash. The whole "moving back home is failure" thing is just an old school mindset from when rent was like $400 a month. It's actually smart if you've got a solid plan to stack cash and get ahead.

@taylor.reese you're right, I call it "aggressive savings with free laundry.
