#2Till they decide to have kids, or some privacy. I know having kids is not en vogue like it used to be, but still plenty of folks want and will want them, plus you cant erase biological needs of women that easily.

#3There was some article I remember about how the Millennial generation was choosing not to buy houses or consumer goods at at large of a volume as previous generations because they preferred things that way. It was like this one, a bunch of statistics + one or two anecdotal examples.
It's nonsense, it's economic circumstances, and coping.

#4The fastest path to these "milestones" is to skip the traditional incremental steps. If you want to own a home, living with your parents and saving your entire paycheque is the fast track. Not to mention how much cheaper retirement is if you purchase it with younger dollars.
That is what I am doing and a lot of my friends are doing. Skip the roommate/renting phase of life in exchange for faster ownership of property and an earlier/richer retirement.

> choosing not to buy houses or consumer goods
There were two studies that bore out less == happier.

For some, it is a choice (and one I'm very happy with, having lived in a household full of 'stuff' which upon reflection, was overwhelming and depressing). For others, I understand it isn't.

#8Now they should do a article on parents who move in with their children.

Multigenerational households make having kids easier. People do it in the rest of the world—the aversion to it is a distinctly Northern European thing.

Especially since homeless encampments keep growing.
No one's personally choosing to be homeless or living with their parents out of personal freedom.
