Shows you what great jobs the Boomers have done raising their children.

I like how the compress all the graphs so that any decline looks like a collapse

[George K]

"Living on your own" From 90% to 65%/

"Ever been married" From 75% to 45%

"Own a home" about half the number.

"Live with a child," also about half the number.

Sounds "collapse-ey" enough to me.

How should the data be correctly interpreted?

They call that a 'gee-whiz' graph, although the compression isn't really that extreme.

I agree with @George-K and @Aqua-Letifer

The deceases are pretty big.

Thanks a lot, internet. I also blame the hippies.

The marriage shift is interesting. IMO it has a ripple effect on those other 3 charts (living on own, child, owning home).

[Jolly]

I had done all of those things by 25.

[89th]

For me it was

• living on own (23)
• own home (condo at 27)
• married (31)
• have a kid (tried for a while, eventually 35)

Lived on my own - 22.
Married - 24 (and 27)
Child - 32
Home - 30
