Gen Z Saves Money Living at Home But Sacrifices Independence
- Living with parents saves money on rent, but has social and mental costs like inability to host friends or have "adult" experiences
- While less stigmatized for Gen Z than millennials, living at home can cause tension and higher depressive symptoms
- Financial savings from living at home may not help Gen Z buy homes due to rapidly increasing prices
- Gen Z faces less judgment for living with parents than millennials did
- High cost of living is making it more understandable for young adults to live with parents
