Last hope in a weak economy? Mom and Dad
After being laid off from her job as an events planner at an upscale resort, Jo Ann Bauer struggled financially. She worked at several lower-paying jobs, relocated to a new city and even declared bankruptcy.
Then in December, she finally accepted her parents' invitation to move into their home ? at age 52. "I'm back living in the bedroom that I grew up in," she said.

The online survey of nearly 1,800 people ages 19 to 39 also found 57 percent believed they were "financially independent." But in a separate question, 33 percent said they received financial support from family and friends.

The good news is that since many GFYers never left it, they won't have to come back. :-)

Parents basement is recession-proof. :-)

That's what happens when you don't invest and don't plan for the future.
