HISTORICAL FACTS: Failure to launch when young adults live with parents - Caught on Camera

Is living with your parents past the age of 25 always a failure to launch? What about 35? The amount of American young adults who still live with their parents is often a punchline here, although when you look at rising rental prices, massive student debt and a minimum wage that rarely gets raised, it makes sense why more opt for this choice.

According to U.S. Census data from 2021, one in three U.S. adults between the ages of 18 and 34 live in their parents’ home, while Eurostat findings report that even more adults between the same ages lived in their parents’ homes in 2021.
