America's youngest generation of adults is struggling to pay their bills while more than half have opted to live with their parents due to high inflation and uncertainty over the economy, according to a new study.
A poll released Tuesday conducted by The Harris Poll and commissioned by DailyPay found 54% of Gen Zers ages 18-25 are living with their folks, with 80% of respondents saying they expect the economy will either remain that same or decline over the next year.

No you don’t: Gen Z were living with their parents long before Biden’s inflation. There is a generational flaw here. Gen Z’s are entitled; they believe they should live with whomever supports them, while THEY don’t actually work for their keep. It’s what they learn in school and in the family dynamic. They are not held to account and told “get a job” if you want to live here. And the schools don’t teach them how to be independent; they teach them how to get gov’t money, leech off parents, and never be responsible. They are not even taught a trade so they can make money. (I’m generalizing here — exceptions exist.)
Inflation didn’t do this; the cultural rot and the aura of irresponsibility did this.

Easy to tell who these people are.....drive through any neighborhood. When you see 3 or 4 cars parked in a front yard where there previously none, you are looking at returnees.

Let me dispel the myth being created here. Almost half of Gen Z never left home. It goes way beyond their ability to cope with the world. However, half did and they are struggling to make their way. Support the men and women who have the courage to take responsibility for their own lives. Castigate those who seek the comfort of the sugartit.

Multiple generations crammed into one home... along with multiple families crammed into a single apartment thanks to millions of destitute illegals invading our country with Federal government blessing, while Merrick Garland and his male lover, Jose Bidet twiddle their thumbs and play a communist violin.

They live in Trump voting parents’ basement. Mom feeds them, does their laundry. Then they go out and vote Demokrat.

More likely that they don't have jobs. I won't hire them anymore. They interview great, but the wheels fall off very quickly, self-entitled, know everything, every concerned that they are being made to work harder than other staff. At the slightest criticism of their performance, they storm off the job, sending a barrage of text messages telling their supervisor how they don't know anything and that we will never find an employee as good as they are. Then then go online and trash the company...

Living with their parents insulates them from Inflation.
They don't pay for electricity. Probably don't even pay for food.

Before I retired, I had a conversation with a manager who was beside herself trying to understand the new hires coming out of school. These people had training (lab technicians) but were so entitled and self-absorbed that they were maddening. One new hire wanted to know how long they had to wait to be promoted to management so they could "make bank". Another wanted to bring in her support animal (a pony no less!) and several others needed a space set aside for their daily ritual religious practices and refused to use the office set aside for lactation (which had a fridge so the mothers could "save" their milk)! Still, others showed up for a few weeks and quit because they were expected to...work!! It was a rapidly revolving door for new hires - you'd get 1 keeper for every 6-7 new employees.
So, this doesn't shock me. What does is the fact that we appear to have ~7 million people sitting out of the workforce since COVID - I guess they're drawing welfare or participating in some segment of the "gig" economy driving for Uber or delivering food for Grub Hub. And living in mommy and daddy's basement...?!

If parents raised their kids to be properly-educated, hard-working adults they would not be in the situation of raising them for their entire lifetimes. "Soft parenting" as a social system has failed, it should be defined as "Soft in the head parenting." We have one of those going to the Senate soon from Pennsylvania.

At 19 I was willing to live in a one bedroom apartment and sleep on a couch that rolled out into a bed, in order to be independent. (that was quite a step down from my family home) Our parents expected us to be adults.
This generation has to have all their cell phone, internet and designer clothes perks, live in luxury and is willing to let Mom cook their meals. These parents have very low expectations and love to be needed.

I'm confused as to the time frames of these generational names. I'm considered a baby boomer, but I don't know when that generation ends and where the next generation begins or what the name of that generation is supposed to be. I'm guessing it's millennial, but I could be wrong. Just what is the Gen Z time frame? Isn't there another generation stuck in there somewhere? I'm not all that concerned about kids living with their parents into their late twenties. They'll figure it out eventually. They'll have to.

I am a boomer and while we had our share of worthless people, by and large the goal was to get the hell out of the parents' house. To ask for help was humiliating and to be avoided. If help was given, it was paid back as soon as possible.
To move back in with the parents would have been an admission of failure at life. As a very temporary measure, ok. But no way it should be permanent.

So many of this generation are lazy, uneducated, and uninterested in bettering themselves. They care nothing about their future, clearly. And apparently they see "the future" as about a day or two out, no concept or interest in planning for longer times ahead.
Inflation is incremental, they have fundamental problems with no job skills, heads full of mush instead of education, and no apparent interest in doing anything to make them more capable of earning a living. They seem to hold hare-brained ideas that they will somehow become famous on "the internet" and "get rich" via some unknown, unplanned and random series of events.

I graduated college during a period of high inflation. I had three roommates and took public transportation to work. I could not afford a car. I hate to think what will happen if we ever face harder times than we are in now. This is nothing like what my parents experienced with the Depression and World War 2.

Question: Is "Gen Z" the generation that has been taught that work and patriotism is bad and that all forms of slacking and using your God given talents are good?

Giving up all the modern technology to chart your own way is unfathomable. I guess I was lucky - no I Phone or internet to pay for back in the '80s. No one expected you to buy organic asparagus toast or coffee beans picked by non-binary, unionized, fair-trade workers. Cable TV was the only luxury at about $25/month.

I know four friends who have their adult children living at home, and in 2 cases, their grandchildren. It's driving their own families nuts. No privacy, no down time, and for some, limited living space. Tough to kick the 'kids' out but tougher to live with them.

Participation trophies, inflated and unnatural self-esteem, grooming in public schools, snowflake mentality, no fathers in the home, and a welfare system tailored to support these mentally soft useful idiots.

I remember the same thing happened with the Boomer's Millennial kids back in the late 2000's during the last Democrat induced misery.
There are lots of young men like in the trades who work hard and enjoy it. Thing is, young women don't want that kind of man anymore. They ALL want a doctor with a fat wallet and good looks to marry but a string of bad boys to break them in before "settling down." What man wants to be shackled to that kind of mental illness/debt/STDs "until death us do part?"
Nothing drives a man more than taking care of a family. No family and lots of young men are going to just drop out into perpetual Peter Pan or MGTOW. Lots of men have fulfilling lives without women. The same can not be said of the females of the species as we see so well with the recent voting.

Don't put down Gen G. If you are comfortable in your home take a look at rent prices today. Take a look at how much downpayment kids have to come up with for a house. My husband and I put a down payment on our first house on Mastercard in 1976. Try to see the world as it is today. Help them.

Buckle up, it is going to get worse. Recession coming and our leaders don't seem to care that inflation is killing everyone.

The story of #9 rings true. There is a generation of children who were told truth is whatever they deem it. This is the result.

It does get confusing, if you don't keep up with it, like me...
Gen X: Gen X was born between 1965 and 1979/80 and is currently between 41-56 years old (65.2 million people in the U.S.)
Gen Y: Gen Y, or Millennials, were born between 1981 and 1994/6. They are currently between 25 and 40 years old (72.1 million in the U.S.)
Gen Y.1 = 25-29 years old (around 31 million people in the U.S.)
Gen Y.2 = 29-39 (around 42 million people in the U.S.)
Gen Z: Gen Z is the newest generation, born between 1997 and 2012. They are currently between 9 and 24 years old (nearly 68 million in the U.S.)
Gen A: Generation Alpha starts with children born in 2012 and will continue at least through 2025, maybe later (approximately 48 million people in the U.S.)
