Nearly 1/3 of 18-34YOs live w/parents

The kids may not be alright, at least when it comes to one traditional mark of growing up: moving out of their childhood homes. More young adults are now living with their parents than with a spouse or partner, marking a tipping point for the first time in modern history, according to a new study from the Pew Research Center. About 32.1 percent of Americans between 18 to 34 years old lived in their parents' homes in 2014, edging out the 31.6 percent who were married or living with a partner in their own household, the analysis of Census data found. The remaining 36 percent either live alone, are single parents, or live in dorms or with other relatives/CBS Money Watch. More here.

Question: How old were you when you left home?
