    It was that way in the 90’s too. It’s not a new problem. I didn’t have parental support and ended up couch surfing for a few years while putting myself through college, despite working the entire time. It’s hard to establish your place in life when you don’t have odds stacked in your favor. I couldn’t even get a credit card because I was injured without health insurance at 18, which led to medical collections, which meant bad credit and no credit card.
