Nearly half of adults under 30 live with their parents. The financial fallout could last for decades.

Almost 50 percent of adults under 30 in the United States reside with their parents. This trend is driven by economic pressures and a growing number of young adults moving back into the family home. While some view this as an ideal arrangement, the financial consequences for both parents and children may persist for decades. Some parents report costs as high as 18,000 dollars to support their adult children, creating a need for financial protection strategies as the economy reshapes traditional support systems.
