Having trouble coming up with your $4k/month rent due to "unexpected expenses"? Get a roommate!
"Millennials living in their parents' basement is a somewhat tired trope, but the idea of doubling up — moving in with a roommate (or a family member) because incomes are stagnant and rents are rising — is a real phenomenon.
A new report out from Zillow shows that the number of adults in doubled up households increased to almost a third of all households, from 25.4% back in 2000. That's a loss of 5.4 million potential household formations.

She should be able to live with her parents for as long as she needs to, like to finish college, to get a career which will give her a living and a future, or at least until she has a husband who can provide that.
But for some reason she feels she needs to get away from her parents, so she is crossing lines still considered taboo. She makes enough money to live and to build up a nest egg. But she has also abandoned most of the things young women have always wanted.
So were are not only DOOMED, things are already going very strange. A large portion of young people have no future. And many older folks don't either.
This economic boom you are boosting for will solve nothing as it will only widen the gap between rich and poor.

So that you would see young women turning to sex work as a first career already tells us that our society has broken down.
