Michael Restiano writes on Huffington Post: “Why do we never assume that living at home means a person is saving for a house down payment, supporting one’s family, or curbing education costs, rather than ‘getting on their feet?’ How has something that is so clearly financially prudent become synonymous with failure and stagnation?” Michael urges to to stop shaming millennials living at home and that independence causing maturity is just a myth. “A 20-something living at home that goes out of his or her way to try new things is not much different than a 20-something living on her own in a big city. Except one probably relies far less on $1 pizza than the other, and perhaps has to try a bit harder to feel the necessary lack of comfort to change. Experience is attainable for either–the difference is in how hard the individual must work attain it.” (huffingtonpost.com)
