Young Men Living with their Parents

According to the Census Bureau, 19% of men aged 25 to 34 are currently living with their parents, up from 14% before the recession.

I have three sons. I think that means the chance that all three will be living elsewhere when the youngest hits 25 is 53% (0.81*0.81*0.81), so the odds of a quiet retirement are still (barely) in my favor.

Of course, I also have two daughters, and the Census Bureau says that 10% of women aged 25 to 34 are living with their parents. So my chance of having an empty nest is really only 0.81*0.81*0.81*0.90*0.90, or 43%.
