enraged_camel posted:As a millennial, my reason for not buying a house is simply that I find it dumb to tie myself down to one geographic area. I really enjoy the freedom of being able to move where jobs and opportunities are. This. I remember reading an article on The Atlantic that wondered why millennials are so "cheap" and unwilling to buy houses. It's as dumb as it sounds: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2012/09/the-cheapest-generation/309060/ Anyway, anchoring yourself down somewhere in the suburbs is my idea of Hell. Maybe that's my self-righteous way of convincing myself that I have a choice over it, but the economy is definitely making millennials more of a nomad-like generation. Bouncing around to your parents, shacking up with friends or roommates. Etc. An interesting thing happens when millennials like me realize they can't buy a house or have kids any time soon: there's way more awesome poo poo to do without those things anyway. Life isn't over. I'm not living less of a life than prior generations. Let it be different and interesting.
