18 is when legal parental requirements end, but like … only shitty people do that.

Its prevalence in media belies how little that kind of thing actually happens IMO.

I get it for Americans, most go live at the college, and then they don't go back to their parents.

After college, which some people go away to, most kids end up back home unless they found a job or established a life elsewhere.

Is it so hard to find a job?

In Venezuela they just raised the montly minimun wage from 0.13$ to 240$ for the first time in YEARS and basic food for 2 adults and a child is like 800$ a month.

We are VERY unprepared.
