We’ve reached peak Boomerang Generation: There are more Millennials living with their parents than significant others, roommates, or on their own, according to Pew Research data. In 2014, for the “first time in modern history,” about one-third of Millennials reported that they were living at their parents’ home. Although the recession limited the generation financially, the Washington Post says the trend has been “decades in the making, a result of deep-rooted societal transformations in education, work and family building.” Instead of marrying, moving out, and starting families, young adults are instead focusing on career paths, gaining more education, and saving up to move out on their own without the support of a significant other.
