Independence is the adventure.  I was a college graduate, but got a low paying job, shared a 1 bedroom apt and wouldn't have changed a thing.

Young peoples expectations today are ridiculous.   They expect the same lifestyle they grew up in, that took their parents decades to acheive.

I don't agree with the authors definition of success.  And I really don't believe that you can become an adult while living with your parents.  From laundry to a sex life to meal prep... 

This reminds me of all those young children you see in strollers being pushed about by their parents when they are perfectly able to walk.
