After I moved out, I would have had to be in a truly no way out dire situation before I’d have even considered moving in with my parents again–and I had a fairly good relationship with them. Then again, a segment of young people now just must have the expensive toys and “stuff” that we somehow managed to live our lives without when we were young.
For First Time, Majority Of Americans Age 18-34 Are Living With Parents
Nearly one-third of all millennials live with their parents, slightly more than the proportion who live with a spouse or partner. It’s the first time that living at home has outpaced living with a spouse for this age group since such record-keeping began in 1880.
So 1/3 of millennials are living at home and the remaining 2/3 are living with spouse/partner, room-mate, or on their own. So in fact the study doesn’t say that a majority of millennials are living with their parents, it says that the percentage living with their parents is now more than the percentage living with a spouse or partner and ignoring all of those in some other living arrangement.
