Why So Many Young Adults Are Still Living With Their Parents In The U.S.

Cost of living increases but income does not. This is rocket science to older people.

[@paulstandaert5709]

I have done the math numerous times over the decades. Overall, many things are now more expensive, but on the other hand, many things are not. Some things are for certain: 1.) 25 years ago, we only had 1 telephone per household. 2 lines if you were lucky. now we have a phone line for each person in the household and the telephones themselves get broken and crap whereas that rotary dial phone hung on the wall for 50 years and doubled as a weapon. 2.) As a kid in the 1980s, air conditioning was something only the well-off had. Now, every trailer in America has that. 3.) air conditioning was optional equipment on cars in the 80s. Now regulations require a half dozen air bags, antilock brakes, stability control, etc. Cruise control was optional back then. Immobilizers barely existed. This all costs and is expected now. People literally can't figure out how to get anywhere without a GPS to tell them where to go these days. Would YOU buy a car without air conditioning? 4.) Houses are bigger than ever. Like cars, building them is plagued with rules and regulations that push the costs UP. 5.) Internet? What's that? $75/mo? Why? 6.) Even in the 1990s, satellite dishes were these big monstrosities. Now it's this little 18" dish and the trailer parks are littered with them. 7.) Getting on a plane and going somewhere was a rich people thing. Now, WHO HASN'T been on an airplane NUMEROUS times? I can go on all day long with this stuff. The truth is that people spend like never before, and there is a growing gap between "upper middle" class and lower class. So, yes things are expensive, but at the same time, people buy crap they don't need like there is no tomorrow. It's not as bad as people are lead to believe.

[@jamesbridges6502]

​@paulstandaert5709 Internet has become a utility this day in age. Just because it wasn't then doesn't mean it is now. Yes you can have it cheaper where you don't have to stream Netflix. But it's how the world communicates now. No? Well their are older generations from the past that could of applied the same line of thinking to running water or electricity.

[@paulstandaert5709]

@jamesbridges6502 yep, and the Internet is a perfect example of how things have become cheaper and easier these days. Hell, my phone bill is $25/mo with unlimited everything. I could literally turn off that utility and tether my cellular phone and get by quite well. My landline was $33/mo back in 2003. So... As I have concluded, it is not a necessary utility.

[@jamesbridges6502]

@paulstandaert5709 I said you can have it cheaper and don't need expensive internet....so I guess I should of specified "cheap" utility.

[@jamesbridges6502]

@paulstandaert5709 Water is pretty cheap too but we still would consider necessary and a utility.

[@NikkiCaswell]

I agree. If you start out with nothing and yet somehow start to actually build a life for yourself, there are still some sacrifices having to be made since we aren't the generation that got married by 20 and had a house with a white picket fence, a dog and two or three children by 25. Instead, many are still having parents living with them while trying to make a life of their own which may consist of limited space when going the multi-generational household route (using myself as an example, though.)

[@angelcaliber7876]

@NikkiCaswell It's a smart way to go. In my case my family split up years ago and every generation seems to despise the generation above them. That's just personal. But nothing in this video explains anything you got miss princess with everything she ever wanted arguing with someone who bought a house at the price of under a down payment needed to start a mortgage on one today it just doesn't make sense.

[@XannKan]

@@believestthouthis7 it's because in any major city the price of a studio apartment not including utilities is like 1,200-1,600 a month. And that's average. That plus car payments/gas, groceries, wifi, phone bill, car insurance. If you have parents that love you and have the space Its 100% understandable that you would want to stay with them and save up money. Because it's just comical at this point how expensive it is out in the world, I barely make enough to live and I have 3 roomates man. And I make 20$/hr full time with bennies. And I still find myself scraping change together to eat bro. My mom passed away and my dad moved to take care of his sick mother so I don't have parents to crash with, I'm 23 so that's why I made the comment.

I spent about 1 month fixing it up to get it livable (kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom in good condition) and then an additional 2 months until I could get it was presentable to invite others over (water heater, AC, and replaced bathtub/water lines).

It's not necessarily shamed the way you might think a bad behavior such as being rude would be shamed.

Like if a guy still lives with parents/family a girl is going see that as a negative factor for dating, like you couldn't manage to figure out a way to live on your own is not a good sign. Personally I think it would have been a real drain on my mental health to stay at home because it's in a rural area, small, packed/cluttered with crap, and noisy. Even though I have a mostly remote job the internet would have barely sufficed, and I wouldn't really be able to play games which is a huge pastime for me.

LoL at the average price, definitely depending on where you live. My parents bought a house when I was born in the San Francisco Bay Area for 25k in 1975, and it was largely done with saved up money so there was no 30 year mortgage either. Now that same house, which I'm now in possession of (but not as my residence) could get over a million, now granted in most of the rest of the country that's a fixer upper, and honestly shouldn't be more than 300k but location, location, location... and it's not even in a "rich" area either. Part of me waffles over selling versus the rent income, for now at least the rent is a nice supplement.

[@SweBeach2023]

It all depends on the cost of running the house as well as the financial cost. It wasn't uncommon for people in the eighties to spend a fifth on their net earnings on heating alone. Today it's more like 3-5 percent if living in a modern house with proper isolation and an efficient heating system such as a heat pump.

I'm in my 40's, everyone my age that owns a house, didn't actually buy it. Was given to them by parents/willed by grandparents ect. I paint aircraft parts for a living and I cant afford to buy a small house on my income. You need a income of around 100k per year to buy a small home , 50 - 60k a year don't cut it, you cant save and live like a pauper. North Texas.

[@nicomyth]

Really depends on where you live. Also in my 40's and bought a small house before 08' on a below median income. It is challenging now with the dollar devaluation of the past few years and private equity gobbling up housing. No family helped us purchase and fixing an old house took a lot of work.

The smartest move is to NOT MOVE OUT. Stop believing the narrative you have to obtain a mortgage or pay high rent and put yourself in debt. Stay in the house. That’s the smartest move. Save your money. If anything add an addition to the house. Kids, grandkids, spouses, if your parents agree make it a family dynamic. Help with the bills and parents NEVER sell the house! Kids repeat the same family dynamic with your kids and so on and so on… Live rent and mortgage free, stay out of debt, travel, enjoy life, enjoy your family. You’ll all be happier and healthier!

Awful framing of this story, you focused on a decently well off woman for whom this problem is very likely temporary instead of the actual issue. This story should have focused on someone who had basically no chance of ever making it into a home and their struggles, someone making 40k or less a year. It is also criminal to not showcase the massive jump in home values since their parents time, compared to salary. I guess a corporate shill like CNBC doesn't want to upset the shareholders.

The truth is, while money itself might not bring happiness, it does provide security and freedom.
