I know a few people living with parents to help the parents out in non-financial ways, because the parents' relatively poor health makes it easier for them if someone is around. But that should be a relatively constant factor, so can't really explain a trend.
- hga 12y agoIt won't be a constant factor due to the first of the Baby Boom hitting the age when many of them get chronically sick (if they're lucky). I thought of mentioning that while an act of god (2011 EF-5 tornado) forced me to live with my father, that he's now 80 and starting to decline a little, and had a medical emergency last year, is one of the reasons I'm staying with him. That the cost sharing we've worked out saves, oh, as much as half on my cost of living is of course another reason, but duty is a lot stronger motivator.
