Also: we're paying Russia's bills + meetings suck
The proportion of 25-34 year olds living with their parents has more than doubled since the 1970s. In the past, people delayed marriage - a typical catalyst for household formation - to invest more in their education and careers (particularly women, who previously didn't have the opportunity).
Going forward, I expect more young adults to live with their parents, but this time constrained by prohibitively expensive homeownership costs. This means parents need to prepare and manage their lifestyle expectations accordingly.
We continue to pay Russiaās bills by purchasing its oil and gas. Are we our own worst enemy?
Unfortunately, demand for energy is inelastic and in many respects a case of life or death. Russian natural gas heats European homes during the winter. Russian natural gas is used to produce nitrogen, a critical fertilizer used to grow food to feed the world. Food and shelter - two of Maslowās most basic needs.
As long as we buy Russian energy exports we continue to fuel their military machine.

The chart below shows the impact of fewer meetings on worker productivity and performance.
