So what's this book we've been hearing so much about?

 

"When you quarterlifers move back home - and you will - make sure you have 
this book by your bedside." --  Abby Wilner, co-author of Quarterlife Crisis

 

"A life-saving resource for anyone young, broke and contemplating the unthinkable." -- Jason Anthony, co-author of Debt-Free by 30

 

The eagerly awaited survival handbook for helping twenty and thirty-somethings cope with the practical, economic, emotional, and psychological realities of moving back in with Mom and Dad.

 

Boomerangers are on the rise. Named for the (nearly 18 million) eighteen- to thirty-five-year-old Americans currently living at home, this rapidly growing phenomenon is becoming a way of life for many college graduates (and young adults) looking for a rent and, hopefully, hassle free way to get out of debt and strategize their futures.

 

Written by Elina Furman, who happily survived living at home the second time around, this timely, information-packed guide offers fellow Boomerangers wisdom gleaned from her own front-line experiences. Furman debunks popular myths, such as that college graduation marks the beginning of domestic and financial freedom, and offers dynamic action plans, proven strategies, and practical advice on everything from:

  • Taking the plunge: Are you ready to move back home?
  • Coping with the stigma
  • Setting a financial plan, and sticking to it
  • The hidden benefits of living at home
  • Who's your daddy? The three types of parents
  • Dating under your parents' roof
  • Redecorating your childhood bedroom
  • Ka-Ching: Getting out of debt
  • Day-To-Day: Setting the rules of the house
  • Dealing with sibling rivalry
  • Moving into a single-parent or step-parent home
  • Career Rehab: Landing your first job and career transitions
  • 5 sure-fire exit strategies

With special chapters on brainstorming new career objectives and dating under your parents' roof, and featuring inspiring tales from the trenches by independent and successful Boomerangers, Boomerang Nation proves that not only can you go home again, you can survive and thrive.
