>Since their 27-year-old moved back home in early 2024, the mother, who asked to remain anonymous to protect her daughter's identity, says she and her husband are spending close to $5,000 a month covering all of her daughter's living expenses, including food, transportation and health care.

>Because of the increased expenses, she says they're no longer going on vacation this year, and her husband, a radiologist, may have to delay retirement.

>"We were not planning on this kind of expenditure at this point of our lives," the mother says. "The reason we do it is because we don't want to see her on the street."

>The couple join a growing number of parents who say their finances have been affected by children aged 18 to 35 moving back home. One survey published in May by financial services provider Thrivent found that nearly 40% of U.S. parents say supporting their adult children has impacted their savings goals — the highest percentage since the survey began four years ago.

they're lying unless they're thinking like jews and consider the rent she could be paying as lost income

NEET here living with my old man. I have ran the numbers and in total I probably cost him about $120 a month in utilities. That's it. And since he claimed me as a dependent on his taxes all these years, he said I was a net profit for him after accounting for tax returns.
The real question is how much does food cost a month to sustain? I'm provided food by large passive gain in the stock market. Around $850 a month. I have no car, I don't go out, just grind away on my PC using electricity and the internet (which is a flat fee every month so it's irrelevant how much I use.) With food apps and coupons you can get very cheap meals. I estimate that to acquire about 1500 calories a day you are looking at spending about $5-6 a day. If you cook you can make it even cheaper but then you're literally eating beans and rice. Boring.

Anyways if I can do that while being a worthless NEET, how is this cunt costing her parents so much money every month? $5k? $5k a month? I could live like a king for that much money. Steaks every day, always have the best PC money can buy, literally everything I'd ever want.

>>509524035
>cheap fuck and not a consumer
As it should be. Americans overconsume to a disgusting degree.
Even when i was making 8500/month I wasn't spending 5k

>>509524042
Jews don't want people to remember that families used to live together in an multigenerational home passed from parents to children. This is how humans existed for thousands of years, but in then 1950s suddenly kids were supposed to go to the loan jew and buy an unnecessary house for themselves.

>>509523914 (OP)
The truth is it makes them feel like failures as parents. Being boomers they will never admit this so it's easier to criticise the kid behind their back to a journalist.

>>509523914 (OP)
Millions of young people moved back home during COVID. The cities and economy are still majorly dogshit. I was making like 75k in an area where 45k is good. Basically 100k as I had some benefits too. Free food and all of that.

The business went under in 2023 after trying to survive COVID. Everything within an hour of my house is literally $15 am hour survive jobs/$25 an hour construction jobs that is riddled full of Mexicans, or a grocery store that still plays covid vaccine messages.

I bought a house with my family in 2020, literally signed the day COVID locksdowns were announced, and that same house has doubled in price and interest rates. I pay 2k a month for my mortgage. It would quite literally be 8k a month for this same property. In just 4 years. Mental.

I'm 100% sure a housing market collapse is coming.

Similar setup, except I'm a millennial, and both my parents are home-bound and need assistance, especially my 9/11 first responder dad who has Parkinson's disease and needs help with basic stuff like dressing & washing and getting into/out of bed.
I don't mind taking care of them, and I'm trying to keep them alive and out of nursing homes, which they don't want to goto, and I don't want them going to one.

>Why are zoomers turning their parents into paypigs?
Because those parents created a world run by kikes filled with shitskins of every creed and colour to suppress wages and holding high losing jobs they're not qualified for due to D.E.I. policies and corporate nepotism bulkshit.

they're enabling some absolutely extravagant bullshit given they did the little cunt a favour letting her move back in with them. If they're going to allow it then I have no sympathy for them. Also, does the little bitch not work?

>>509528895
that's how much mine spend on me in a year and i'm in maxed out credit card debt and need auto insurance

>>509524035
i can only imagine they're counting every expense on their daughter
like they were probably spending less on food, and utilities before she moved back in but now slightly more and they're counting that against her, but also everything they paid before as well to sensationalize

i only spent 300 bucks on random stuff last month, 0 this month- yesterday lunch was free at work, haven't gassed my car in a week. i still feel like it's all too much, i'm neurotic like that, i want to see if work ill let me work a lot of overtime. then i could earn double each month, and spend less. my mom canceled my insurance during covid (lol) and refused to pay my car insurance (even though she pays for my brother, who is an actual parasite druggie). mom goes on lots of vacations after she retired early, is worth millions.

what the fuck is this girl buying to spend 60,000 a year? some people are so spoiled, and some are just fucked. it's crazy.

I live in an extremely expensive part of the East Coast. I pay 2200 for rent, which is my major living expense. I'm looking to move to a cheaper location because my current apartmentis terrible for the price. I can spend $1000 on food/cleaning for myself a month, which is, again, exorbitantly overpriced compared to the general lay of the land in the US. I paid off my last car but then it got stolen, so I had to buy another, more expensive one using the insurance money. That costs me $500 a month or so, because, again, nice car (security features+long term durability). Anything above another $300-500 for misc expenses and $100 or so for utilities is pure luxury spending. My job requires I spend money on my appearance and clothing, but I also make enough that I'm not going to complain about it.
$5000/month living is basically a decadence lifestyle. Eating out every single day. Even I don't do that, and I could probably afford to. I don't because I've only recently come into this very lucrative job, and I've been trying to build up my net worth.

What a kiked article. I'm pretty sure "Natalie Wu" is a pseudonym.
Most Gen X parents don't mind their Gen Z children to live with them. However, the Zoomers have to do chores and buy and cook their own food. I do that myself while living with my ma.

>OMG WHY ARE THEY PAYING $5,000 A MONTH?!?!
Because she's a modern woman, guys.
She's greedy, demanding, entitled, lazy, and utterly shameless.

You know what'll happen if mommy & daddy don't keep her in the upper middle class consooooomerist lifestyle she's grown accustomed to?
Daddy's little girl is going to start selling pictures of her asshole online.

That's what having a daughter is nowadays.
A lifetime of extreme financial obligation to (maybe) stop her from becoming a literal pornwhore.

How on earth can you spend 5000 dollars a month? If I had that kind of income I don't know what I'd do with it.

>>509523914 (OP)
Boomers destroyed their childrens futures, it's only fitting that the money they sold that for goes into supporting those children.

I just came to say that zoomers can't have elderly parents.

>>509523914 (OP)
$5000?
alot of expenses are covered by being at home.. that's why kids do it sometimes. what could possibly contribute to this total?

5k a month... She moved back to her old room and they think she owes them extraorbitant rent at market prices, hence they are "losing" money. You hate gen xers.

? On fucking what?
I pay my parents $100 a week for board.
Their philosophy is the less I pay, the faster I can move out. Not that they want me to move out anyway.
So this covers electricity, water, food.
Food would be the big killer but they just add a little bit to the recipe.

I could see this being somewhat true if she has a shit ton of credit card & student loan debt (she 90% chance does) and on top of needing to pay for her health insurance. Then a car payment (retards have been getting 700-1000+ a month payments) then insurance on that. It could easily be 5k. They live in Cali Wali which is retard over priced central so I believe it
