Well, it's not mom&dads basement, but it will have to do. Seriously, do I detect in this article a slight bias against "boomers and xoomers"? A slight avoidance of issues? If I come home from $job 6-7 days a week, which thankfully pays for the apartment, why the !@#&%* would I want to leave if I didn't have to? Like it's turning condominiums next month?


Well, moving from apartment to apartment increases the rent and millennials aren't earning like boomers or xoomers.

So the strategy of staying longer in a place might play well for them, Especially if they are already in some big cities where jobs could be easily found.


OT, 2 comments, and both mentions "xoomers" which I hadn't read before. Are we splitting gen X into xoomers and xennials?
