But I don't regret my decision to graduate a year early from high school. It was disappointing to think that the moment I always envisioned marking the end of high school would look very different. But that was overshadowed by the promise of not having to return to high school again. I finished high school at the end of July and started college a week after I turned 17. Five years ago, my daughter Skyler decided to graduate from high school early.

But sometimes, the common behavior can tip over into a disorder that more researchers are trying to understand: digital hoarding. Here’s how to ease up on digital clutter and know when you might be displaying signs of a disorder, according to experts. “Digital clutter is just as stressful as actual clutter in our physical world,” she said. A digital hoarding disorder will be fueled by a persistent urge to save digital information, rather than a “preference” to store that is more flexible, he added.

Their employment rate is also slightly lower than women in their early 20s. "This smaller share reflects the fact that, within marriages, mothers are still more likely than fathers to specialize in child care," the Fed noted. Today, 26% of mothers are stay-at-home parents, compared with just 7% of fathers, according to a separate Pew study from August. Mothers working full time and year-round outside the home rarely recoup the lost wages, which add up to $20,000 a year, on average.
