Are You A Boomerang Kid?


A Boomerang Kid is someone who moves back in with their parents after graduating college. The stay can last several months to years. Government figures show that more than half of male Brits in their early 20รข€™s live back at home. The numbers are similar here in the US. Free food, free rent and relative autonomy make it a pretty sweet deal. But piqued parents are having trouble coping and are even turning to helplines for advice.
The study cites massive student debt, difficulty entering the housing ladder, later marrying, and general fear of failure particularly for males as the main reasons.
