According to Bank of America, Millennials aren’t “adulting” until they’re financially independent. Their research found that of consumers born in the early 1980s to mid ‘90s who don’t yet consider themselves adults, eight in ten say it’s because they still rely on their parents, and over half say it’s because they don’t make enough money. The survey also found that four in ten don’t believe college prepared them for the “real world,” and 43% say they wish they had learned how to invest and 40% say they wish they had learned about taxes. Our new Adulting trend found that 55% of 18-33-year-olds named paying bills as a top sign of being an adult. (Forbes, Bank of America)
