Good news! America is about to rejoin the rest of the world in having multigenerational households, because we can’t afford to all have our own places for much longer. This has been coming for a while. If you have a home large enough to support that, this is probably a good thing. In fact if that becomes the norm (again) it would probably support future development of the country in good ways, having a higher population within a given area and having a significant percentage of that population be both children and grandparents incentivises walkable communities with accessible shops. It could go a long way towards decreasing car dependence.
But that’s all long term. In the meantime we’re all broke as hell so get ready to possibly live in the same house with your grandkids too.
People have kids that can move out? And they have money for retirement? I’m guessing this isn’t in America…?
My kids are still young, so it might change, but I hope they stay with with me forever.
I love them so much and I will be sad when they will leave home.

Yes most people have this experience… Which is why I said on average.
