I attended a family funeral this week and had a chance to catch up with some cousins I rarely see. I was surprised to learn about the number of cousins who have had kids come back to the nest due to the economy. While the kids have jobs, they are not the jobs they once had. Not only are the boomers taking care of our parents, we're also taking care of our children, and even some grandchildren who have moved back too. WOW.

I also learned of a nephew who may be moving home because his roomie lost his job and he can't afford the rent on his own. He's just out of college, has a great job, but can't afford to rent a whole house alone.

Anyone have 20 or 30-soemthings living with them? OUr daughter is 23 and lives with us. She's in college part-time and works part-time. I'm thinking she'll be here for a few more years.
