Living at home isn't embarrassing

A lot of zoomers seem to be embarrassed about living at home, I think society emphasizes "independence" way too much. I think families are meant to be close-knit, and even though you give up independence by living at home, you save so much money. It's not shameful at all, the government just wants us to be ashamed of it because they want everyone to be living alone so house prices go up

Society expects young people to have their entire act together soon after high school. That is not even close to practical though. Especially because most jobs don't pay jack squat.

Of course older folks (my age and up) talk about how right after high school, they worked three jobs while raising a family and going to school and taking care of some sick relative. In most cases that is BS. Even if someone were trying to do that, it would not be sustainable for real long. Maybe a week?

Also, the "powers that should not be" want us to feel ashamed of everything we do (or don't do).

I hear a lot of 30 year olds talk about how they thought they would be rich and have traveled the world by now. A few have, most have not.

All I am saying is - don't let anyone try to BS you.
