“The 20s are a black box, and there is a lot of churning in there. One-third of people in their 20s move to a new residence every year. Forty percent move back home with their parents at least once.

Because you have to drop $100 on insanely boring purchases, like a shower conversion kit for your bathtub in your new apartment, which won’t have a shower without one. At least I get a neat old-fashioned looking tub.
