Are Situational Economic Realities Keeping Families Together?

The other day, I was at Starbucks, and I heard a familiar story. I was talking to a retired couple who had a couple extra rooms at their house, and they were kicking out their renter because one of their kids had lost his job, and had been foreclosed on, and his family was coming to live with them. Many kids who it went off to college now have their degree, along with student loan debt, but they cannot find a job.
