Millennials Are Sharing What It's Like To Have Their Broke Boomer Parents Move In With Them

An intergenerational living arrangement that isn't like some funny '90s sitcom.

Contrary to ~popular belief~ not every millennial blew their money on avocado toast, and have actually been able to buy homes (despite it being a tough housing market). And, also, contrary to the popular media narrative of millennials moving back in with their parents, recently Fortune published a story about the opposite: how there has been a growing trend of boomers not being able to afford to live on their own and having to move in with their millennial children.

Well, Reddit user LightRobb shared the article on the Boomers Being Fools subreddit, where it was met with TONS of comments. While there were lots of positive comments from millennials who had let their parents move in or said they would let them move into their house, there were also lots of not-so-great comments from people who had let their parents move in and it ended up being a less than ideal situation.
