I don’t know what I think. My oldest just “gave up” cable because it was costing he and his roommate too much money. He’s only a senior in college but we don’t give him extra money for cable or internet only rent, food and cell phone. I guess it’s a matter of kids prioritizing what is important to them…living independently within whatever budget they are able to muster or coming home. We’ve stressed that we don’t expect them to come home hoping that they will attempt to live on their own before “calling” home. Our friends are going through that with their recently graduated offspring who wants nothing more than to live in NYC. Lots of “giving” up for a while has to go on…
