Video on net neutrality and how big corporations like AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast want to make internet access and speeds tiered, like current cable service. I am SO against this, it’s not even funny.

The first, BIGGEST, reason for young adults postponing all those things is money and finances, which is a direct result of TWO main things. The first one is the outrageous cost of college that imposes heavy responsibility on so many young people. Instead of saving money for a down payment on a house, or a new car, or for a wedding, or even for their future children to go to college, they are shelling out hundreds and hundreds of dollars a month to pay back student loans.
