Not that we don't love our kids, but hey, who wants adult children moving back in? 

I realize the rules are easy to get around, as when an adult buys a controlled substance for an underage accomplice.

Gallup shows that as of last year, only about half of American adults owned stocks.

Female investor here!! 

Started as a call from an agent about a homeowner facing foreclosure (Dad is ESL, abusive/predatory adult child [other kid, not our borrower]) that didn't want to sell and just wanted to retire in place. 

Then I pointed out that one of the families at our church has an adult child with Down’s Syndrome who is very precise on being on time.

Will lay out all the negatives: premium gas only, mileage is God awful, very expensive repair costs (even if you DIY, which I do), eats through performance summer tires, needs winter tire set-up for sure, increased insurance rates, back seat is not good if you got a kid in a carseat, or adults for long trips.Believe me, it’s not pretty at times!

It is their first place and they are young, but they need to understand they are adults now (say it that way).

This deal would have put me back in the race to play with the adults. 

Well, having a diversified set of skills is just as important, and for the same reasons--it allows you to be adaptable and better able to offset losses--which allows you to succeed where others fail. ...college is one of the most time-efficient ways for a young adult to acquire a highly diversified set of skills (almost regardless of their major).So, as long as you're able to keep your college expenses reasonable, and you don't have to go into large amounts of debt for college, a college education can be well worth the time--even if you don't end up pursuing a career related to your major.But, just like most things in life, what you get out of college often depends on what you put into it...students who don't put in effort toward learning, gaining new experiences, self improvement, etc. won't magically pick up the aforementioned skills just because they're enrolled in college.
