one day you’ll find yourself graduating college. Resist the temptation to move home, even temporarily. Force yourself to find a job, live on a budget, and become an adult.
ok grandpa, you do know that most college graduates are now saddled with horrendous college loans that are impossible to get away from, and that living anywhere even remotely desirable requires paying increasingly absurd rents, and yes, that includes that charming town you settled in after your grandparents paid the majority of a tuition that was a tiny fraction of what modern graduates are in hock for, even after adjusting for inflation? You also do know that "leaving your parents and living by yourself" has only been the norm for a brief period of time, and that, in fact, living in the ancestral manse is a great way to accumulate and consolidate pan-generational wealth, as well as to share the burdens of caring for the young, the old, and the infirm?
