So sometimes "tough love" is needed, like this recent case of parents evicting a 30-year old. A "safety net" can become a prison when you don't have to face your fears or bad habits head on. <br />http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-44213623<br /><br />Maybe the simplest solution I've seen by empty-nesters is to downsize after all the kids are out of college, although many parents actually want to keep space for holidays for kids and family to visit and gather.<br /><br />OTOH for the nonaffluent, given there are a large number of baby boomers retiring with mortgage debt and minimal savings, live-at-home adult kids with jobs can help stretch retirement dollars. It really does seem terrifying to try to retire at 65, and hope you can live on SS for 30 years, even if you have some retirement savings and no debt.Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.com
