The modern family: 18% of Americans live in multigenerational households. For this N.J. family, it was ‘a lifesaver’ during the pandemic

"The number of household with two or more adult generations has quadrupled over the past five decades, according to a Pew Research Center report based on census data from 1971 to 2021. Such households now represent 18% of the U.S. population, they estimate."

(Almost coincides with...drum roll please...Trickle Down economics that just never did...Yup, here we go with 1980 again...)

“Clearly, for some adults there are favorable aspects to it,” said Richard Fry, a senior researcher at Pew."

(They even try to spin that as positive these days)

"However, finances are the No. 1 reason families are doubling up, Pew found, due, in part to ballooning student debt and housing costs. Caregiving also plays a role in the decision process."

20% of the adult population can not afford their own homes due to high levels of student debt and housing cost, 

but the economy is strong and inflation is on the wane, and Ukraine is kicking Russias butt...

(sarcasm BTW)

When exactly did we fall down this rabbit hole again?

Oh yeah, I forgot...around 1980.

Interesting number in the bible.

40.

As in years, a generation, etc...
