There is currently a growing phenomenon in Australia where young adults, known as ‘boomerang children’, return home to their parents after moving out, according to researchers at the University of Melbourne. The competitive job market and high cost of living has made it difficult for young adults to thrive away from home, and moving back in with their parents might be their only financially viable option. If your adult children are about to return home after a stint away, you’re going to need to reorganise your home and storage space to make room for them. Using Self Storage in Adelaide from Self Storage Australia Holden Hill can help make the transition easier.
