We don't really.
I also wonder if it has to do with societal mobility. Previous generations were much more likely to move "back home" after school or the military and stay there for their entire lives. We live over a thousand miles from our parents and have lived in six cities during 30+ years of marriage.
As for risk taking, I'm much less inclined now then I was at a younger age.

Yah, my parents (now in the "early retirement" thing) get together with their neighbors every Friday night for dinner and had a huge New Year's Eve party. The only parties I remember them ever throwing were small New Year's Day Bowl game parties....
