What is about 20 something

This article in particular was quiet long and it was difficult for me to pay attention to the text. But it was really interesting to read, and helpful. I felt like it was talking about me and what I am going through at the moment. Having to rely on my parents for support since I'm full time student. It's really hard to do things that are fun, since I only work weekends. The article talks about different struggles of students 17-24 years old, and how not a lot of us are mentally, financially ready to live by ourselfs as well as just being independent. Others are more of the provider so they are not able to finish school quicker than some people. The statistic shows a small percent of  young adults moving around, and more moving back in with their parents because of financial stability. In my opinion I'm staying home till I have money to actually pay for my monthly payments and out of debt. I didn't even know that there was an issue of young adults not being able to be successful fast enough. Some cultures tend to nurture their child until who knows when. In addition the most interesting part of the article is that there was a housing available for young adults that needed help growing up. We should actually have a class like that in high school so that teenagers are aware of what is going to happen when they graduate .
