This is a different time than even eight years ago. Job stability is decreased. Natural disasters have made home ownership seem less desirable. Expenses of owning and maintaining a home keep increasing. There's no guarentee anywhere that house prices won't decline. Better to rent, maybe in a shared environment, and try to save some money and have mobility if an opportunity comes up somewhere away from home.

Maybe what this is showing is that generation is more sensible than we give them credit for. They did, after all, grow up seeing their parents struggle with housing and car payments, and they're already saddled (in many cases) with stupid college loans.

You can stop at the second bolded comment. Wonder how many put in a hitch with the USMC and came out dependent on anybody? Some I know still insist that a Universal Draft would be the best thing this country ever did; check with the Israelis and see how it is working for them.
