A record 25 million adults under 35 are living with their parents

That’s not too surprising, since the average first time homeowner is actually now 40 years old

Study Tracked How Three Generations Dealt With Adulthood: Millennials Showed The Most Fear

Interestingly, millennials showed the most fear, but also shrugged that fear off more quickly than previous generations. I went straight from college to moving halfway across the country for my first full-time job, so I didn’t really have a whole lot of time to be nervous about “Real life”

Also Worth A Look…

  • Does Living Abroad Actually Change Who You Are? Study Offers Nuanced Answer - I would imagine that this has more to do with getting away from your comfort zone than specifically leaving the country. When I was in college in Alabama, I did an internship back home in Chicago, which was a really important life experience for me. My mom worked at Yellowstone for a summer and that had a big impact on her life

  • No Matter Where In The World, Dogs And Their Owners Share A Similar Bond - More than 90% of owners in every country said they could rely on their dog and believed it would protect them. No matter where you go, everybody loves their doggo

  • Polls Show Americans Face Daily Scam Attempts, Few Report Losses - Daily doesn’t do it justice. It seems like I get at least half a dozen scam calls every single day

  • TSA finds hidden smoke grenades at Indianapolis airport - How does anyone either (a) Believe it’s a good idea and appropriate to put that in their checked bag? (b) Forget they had that in their checked bag?

  • Passengers restrain pilot during apparent medical emergency on ‘terrifying’ flight - They were having a seizure. Luckily the co-pilot took over, so there was very little danger. Although I’m sure many of their passengers needed a change of clothes after that

  • FEMA Official Who Claimed He Teleported to Waffle House Ousted From Agency, Sources Say - That shouldn’t be a problem. He can just teleport into a brand new job

  • Carnival Cruises Is Done With 16 Passengers After Brawl - I realize there are a lot of tasty adult beverages consumed on a cruise, but how do you end up with an actual brawl on a cruise ship?

  • Budapest Hospital employee arrested over stolen body parts - He was a cannibal trying to spice up his culinary activities at home. That sounds like a movie or a TV show with a vampire trying to live a normal life by stealing from a blood bank

  • ‘World’s most isolated’ tiny home is floating in the middle of the ocean miles from US state with television & AC unit - Just in case you’re looking to get away from it all

  • Large snake, massive spider found sharing space in resident's bedroom - This is just what we needed, the snakes and the spiders deciding to join forces against us
