The Twixter and My View.

Definition:Twixters are typically young adults who live with their parents or are otherwise not independent by other means, primarily financial. If they are employed, they often have unsteady and low-paying jobs. They may have recently left college or high school, or recently embarked on a career. Living with parents represents a cultural shift in Western households. Historically, whenever a member of the nuclear famity became an adult, he or she was expected to become independent.

             I know a lot of people that are in this category. These people are kids in my generation that decided to go to a four year university right after high school. Whether they graduated or not, one year can cause up to 25,000 dollars in debt. After 4 years? A 100 grand. Right out of college they may realize that not many people hire young adult’s right after college into high paying starting positions. A lot of competitive jobs start with an interning position, which most of the time has no pay at all. With this large debt and little to no money, moving in with your parents is sometimes the only option. Hopefully the twixter will not digress and become financially dependent on the parents and never get a job. These kids are not financially stable to start a family for years, sometimes decades. In my opinion though, that isn’t the worst aspect of being a twixter. The generation with the most Nuclear families, also had the highest divorce rate which suggest that if time were spent choosing the right partner, then maybe they would have ended up with a higher success rate. The twixter generation has more time to weigh and consider their options. Maybe this twixter generation isn’t so horrible after all.
