Gen Z is living with others to afford the rental and housing market. Solo living has become a privilege mainly enjoyed by middle-aged individuals. As a result of increasingly high rent and inflation rates, it’s a challenge for young adults to enter the housing marketing without assistance from their parents. The financial strain has even led a number of Gen Z and Millennials to move back in with their parents. For those who still aspire to live independently, finding roommates in expensive cities becomes a necessary but potentially challenging option. YPulse research shows that while a good chunk of 18-24-year-olds are living at home right now, most are students and others are working, so it’s clear that these gens are only making the most responsible financial decisions they can right now.
