Call them twixters, kidults, or boomerangers- they are a new generation of twentysomethings caught in a transitional phase between adolescence and adulthood, floating for a few years, putting off the heavy threat of adult responsibility and oftentimes, moving back home. Laura's guest is Tom Sedoric, Senior Vice-President of Investment for A.G. Edwards and Sons, a financial consulting firm with offices nationwide. She's also joined by Dr. Jeffrey Arnett, Research Associate Professor for the Department of Human Development at the University of Maryland. He is also the Editor of the Journal of Adolescent Research, author of several books on adolescence and emerging adulthood and Chair of the Special Interest Group on Emerging Adulthood.
