Having my kids at 34 and 37 I may not empty the nest until I'm over 60. And if my kids wait as long to start a family as I do I'll be in my 70s by the time I can hopefully still help them as a grandparent. So they'll be as tired as I am now, and I'll be even more tired than my Dad is!

The other thing is...with the cost of housing, those kids are going to be living with you for longer.
A lot longer.
I had to go over this...living at home into your mid-20s? It happens. Because living expenses are outrageous.
