By now, Karen Wilk thought she would have sold her five-bedroom house in Colts Neck, New Jersey, and downsized to a smaller home. But she has had to put those plans on hold because her 23-year-old daughter, who is finishing her college degree while working part-time, still lives with her. Wilk's 27-year-old son moved out two years ago.
"I don't want to chase my kids out, but I expected them to be more independent by now," Wilk, 54, said. "I don't see my kids affording our neighborhood for a long time."
