I know people who live on the east coast and I can say living there is a guarantee that young people cannot launch until age 30. Who has money to pay for a 1200K/month rent crappy apartment? Don't even get me started on what liability only car insurance is like. If you're able to get married before the age of 30 these days, live independently, and lead a relatively stable life, I say kudos to you and all of the naysayers can go f^ck themselves.

Okay, so what happens if they're in their 40s and never "launched"???
And their mother, who allowed them to stay home and work only intermittently, dies?
What happens then? There is no disability for someone who fails to launch.
The OP says "kick them out?" but doesn't agree that someone like this should be kicked out (objects to the comments to the article).
So what's to be done? How would you advise the sibling who is 10 years older and "launched" at age 18? Is this sibling expected to provide shelter, food, medical care and all other life needs until the sibling dies?
