Here’s an interesting tidbit from a British survey: The credit crunch now means we may never have an empty nest.
A story that ran recently in a British newspaper reports that "67 per cent of all potential first time buyers are
being forced out of the market due to tightening lending criteria and
are having to arrange alternative living arrangements. The
research from Abbey coincides with a recent study by Prudential which
found that more than 80,000 UK households have three generations all
living under the same roof. As the credit crisis takes hold, Prudential
predicts that the number of families forced to live like this will grow."
