Your best friend William tells you that he is thinking of moving back in with his parents now that he has graduated from college. "If I do that for a year or two, I will be able to save my money and get independent much faster than if I try living on my own right away.". Since you have read this chapter and know the research into this sort of thing, what would be your best response?
a. This is a good idea, because men who move back in with their parents become financially independent faster, while women who do so take longer to establish such independence. b. The research really supports that idea, because both men and women who live with their parents for one to three years while establishing their own career can become financially independent much faster than those who live on their own. c. This is a bad idea, because women who move back in with their parents become financially independent faster, while men who do so take longer to establish such independence. d. This probably isn't a good idea, because it will actually take you longer to become financially independent if you move back with them than if you live on your own.
