Tripp's situation represents a trend in delayed adulthood, where young adults are taking longer to establish themselves independently and are staying with their parents longer. This trend has been observed in recent years, with factors such as high student loan debt, a competitive job market, and changing attitudes towards marriage and family contributing to it.
