As a result, we have childhood extending up through the twenties, especially among those who want nothing to do except make a lot of money and recreate.

I'd argue that it's somewhat difficult for a young person to make a *lot* of money and have much time to recreate.

The operative word above is "want". Those who believe that there's nothing higher in this world than to extend their individual creature comforts are those who are perpetually locked in childishness.
