Why American millennials may never get to live alone

Once upon a time, 30% of your income was the maximum you were supposed to spend on rent, but these days the median amount renters spend across the country is almost 40%. As MarketWatch reported last month, many renters of all ages spend north of 30%. On average, renters in the Marin County/San Francisco metro area will spend over 77% of their salary to pay rent in 2017, according to a study by Attom Data Solutions, the parent company of real-estate website RealtyTrac. 

More than 20% of millennials lived with a roommate as of 2015, Trulia said, but many others are holding off on rent and still living at home with their parents. “Young people today are increasingly living with a roommate — whether it’s their parents, siblings, other relatives or friends,” said Ralph McLaughlin, chief economist at Trulia. “Many are saddled with college debt and struggling to find good paying jobs that will enable them to form their own households. Until they do, many will continue to rely on roommates to save on housing costs.”

It’s worse than you thought: Americans are drastically under-saved for retirement

Many experts urge millennials to take note and begin saving as soon as possible, though many have trouble putting money away for such a distant goal and struggle to envision themselves as retirees. Younger workers may also question how to balance their paychecks: saving for retirement is important, but some place higher importance on saving for a home or another financial goal, said John Scott, director of the Retirement Savings Project, part of Pew Charitable Trusts, a Philadelphia-based nonprofit non-governmental public policy organization.

NASA weighing risk of adding crew to megarocket's first flight

NASA is weighing the risk of adding astronauts to the first flight of its new megarocket, designed to eventually send crews to Mars.

DYI:  NASA how about putting a man or women on the moon first.  Any enlightened citizen already knows Neil Armstrong along with the subsequent astronauts never reached the moon.  I’m not going to get into who, what’s, and why’s as all you have to do is go to YouTube enter faked moon landings and all of the evidence is there.  So overwhelming it has become comical.  The faked moon landing is the GOLD STANDARD for fake news.  The Apollo programs MASSIVE FRAUD conjured up against the American public – an attempt to beef up the failing Nixon administration and win the propaganda war with Russia – to the tune of $24.4 billion in 1973 or in today’s dollars that would be 144 billion.

So what’s going on NASA (Never a straight answer)?  Attempting to rip us off again?
