She isn’t a kid anymore, but working full time, she kicked class butt and topped off taking Anatomy and Physiology, 3.5 hour classes after work.

Prepping her next career step into research or medicine, tbd

Well done , Abby...wave from the parking lot!

That’s great!

We are at a year as empty nesters and the parenting dynamics of young adults is sure interesting. Great when they figure things out and hit their stride.

Many of my generation question why young people can’t break out of the nest.

It’s real simple. Rents are astronomical. As a society , we have decided to let housing be a financial instrument vs a societal need. In civilized societies , it has to meet both. We are failing here.

It makes much more sense to live home and bank retirement than paying some investor $3500 a month

Way to go with your "kid". Must be good parenting since they don't come with a manual and you cant connect them to VIDA DICE to figure it out.. It ain't easy. Great job to both parents and kid!
