decline in real wages? job instability?

not sure if that’s entirely true…wages are there if you’re qualified as is job stability…

my friends and I are mostly 81’ers and most of them did move back home, but not because of those reason… more so because they’re cheap bastards/mama’s boys

shit I moved out at 18, and have been on my own ever since. Infact at one point I had a nicer place than my parents, and their place is far from shabby
