More than half of adults 18 to 34 years old rely on some sort of allowance from their parents, according to a study released by the Pew Research Center. (in the United States)
Gen Zers 18 to 24 are most likely to depend on their parents for financial support. In fact, more than half of this cohort survive thanks to their parents helping to pay for basic household expenses.
Almost 1 in 5 adults aged 30 to 34 have their parents chip in for their household bills.
Overall, only about 45% of 18- to 34-year-olds are completely financially independent from their parents, the Pew survey found.
Most Americans agree that young adults today face more challenges than their parents' generation, particularly when it comes to saving for the future, paying for college, buying a home, and finding a spouse, a 2022 Pew Research Center study found.
"We're likely to see young adults continue to put off important financial and personal milestones because they just can't afford them," Matt Schulz, chief credit analyst at LendingTree, told The Post in 2022.
