A quarter of them will get that kick near their thirties.
The other quarter will simply die or slide into that group that says yolo before covering themselves with newspaper for the night.

Kids these days are just let to be kids for too long.

+100 Trillion

SWAG doesn't pay bills!

It might sound horrible...but I think there needs to be a kind of Swag Holocaust. Natural Selection needs to hit these people like a brick wall.

No more Justin Bieber, no more racist rap music, no more saggy pants, no more flat bill hats...

NO MORE SWAG.

Blame it on technology. I think cops like saggy pants, makes the thugs easier to catch.

I read somewhere the average child stays home until about age 23. Heck, when we were kids we got out quick, if it meant living in utter poverty. People think they have it so bad today because they feel entitled, that life should be handed to them.

I seriously fear for the future of our country with this new generation.

Funny, my father said the same thing.

And his father the same thing.

And his father.

Which only proves the undeniable truth. The next generation will always be the downfall of our country.....Funny that we always seem to survive though.

My parents were wrong. My generation was not that bad, but this new generation!!

I wonder if my father told his father the same thing?

Actually, if I recall correctly, the sagging, drooping, pants is a fashion trend that started with inmates in the jail and prison systems.

And I was out of my house, working full time with my own apartment at 20 years old.

I'm 27 and still live with my parents.
Not a big deal, it's a big rural house, I pull my weight in chores and costs, employed and not dependent on anyone.
But my recent raise does give an option to rent a small apartment nearby.
Enough to be on my own but still be close to my garden and dog

Why pay rent? Your only paying the property owners bills.

If I had the choice I'd be staying with my parents and saving to own something of my own in the future.

Betonov · 08-18-13, 01:00 PM

Economic wise I'd be better off staying where I am until I manage to get a woman that will split costs in about 200-400 years.
A rent with costs on a small apartment is about €300 for my area, a quarter of my pay.

A price I'll gladly pay for the privacy my own place gives me.

Makes sense if that's how you feel

Living with parents fattens your purse, but dulls independent personal development.

Mine leaves but then returns. Don't ask. The upside is we get to see a lot of our only grandchild.

I'm yet to become a grandparent but I agree...that would be a big positive
