More adults are moving in with their parents as the U.S. affordability crisis deepens

Video Overview & Insights

With inflation and rising costs, the affordability crisis is prompting some adults to consider rooming with their parents. CBS News' Jericka Duncan spoke with a 34-year-old woman about her decision to move back home.

Omg my parents and extended family wouldn't allow any of their children to move back home it considered FAILURE TO PARENTS and we received, including extended cousins any financial safety support. Things have always been expensive it just didn't start with internet when everyone is crying because they want everything but can't afford it. It was this way in 70s. Parents can't afford to feed,house, pay children bills on their ONLY ONE SSA income, EVERYONE WILL END UP HOMELESS EVENTUALLY. The math proves this. Being single earning $2 hr minimum wage, in 70s. No one felt sorry for us. We had to make it or lose everything which WAS NOT AN OPTION!!! UNBELIEVABLE 😮

So she was relying on her bf to pay rent? Maybe get an actual job. Yes the CoL is high but all of this news for a temp situation..This doesn't seem relatable at all..

I have the opposite happening. My husband and I are in our 30s with 3 kids with my mother living with us. Regardless of generations, its ridiculously expensive. Especially right now.

Why would u get a useless lib arts degree. Get a STEM degree, u will be helping your parents, not vise versa. Ridiculous.

How much is spent on the dogs? It is all about choices. Nothing wrong with moving back home, but my wife and I live on $60k. It can be done. We are very frugal, however compared to most. Eating out is rare, for example.

First off, this young lady doesn't have a real job and she is a Millennial
A lot of these kids are going out and getting useless degrees and have no work ethic.🤔
Businesses have tried, but resoundingly have stated, They will no longer hire anybody from Gen.Z.
And parents are letting their kids go after these useless degrees!!
Every kid that I encounter, that's getting ready to go to college, or is in college, I asked them the following.
"What job are you going after after you graduate, and what does it currently pay in Today's Society?"
So far, I have yet to meet one kid that can answer that question.🤨
Was that 60k that she mentioned her salary or combined with her boyfriend?🤔

Much better live with your parents than homeless. Historically, young people lived with their parents until they get married. With all this unaffordability of life alone, people start realising that individualism is a big lie!

Spotlighting a content creator was a subtle editorial choice. Very Bari Weiss, indeed. The 'loser' who made bad choices implication is fairly transparent. C'mon CBS, highlight some other professionals the old crusty conservatives won't be able to pooh pooh.

At least your parents let you back in, im not even welcome back and i dont even know how to make my rent this month even though i work everyday and im a single mom , lol i love how miserable my life is and how supportive my family are, just love it, i feel super lucky to be alive! When i see other families supporting one another, i wish i knew how that felt, so you are lucky to have them supporting you bcuz some people like me dont even have that even though it seems like such a naturall instinct bcuz im a mom myself, my life is just very sad, so enjoy your stay girl and thank your parents bcuz they are amazing for having your back

She will be back with her parents. The economy is getting worse. Soon, it will be the norm that 40 year olds will have to live with their parents.

The issue is also a lot of young women want to stay fully independent and don’t need a man.

I’m a 27 year old man and make $120k a year have my own 1 bedroom apartment. The amount of stuck up 27 year old girls who have never moved out of their parents house will question if you’re good enough for them. Yet you ask those same girls. “So have you looked for apartments?” And openly admit they can’t afford it.

😂 get yourself a man that can provide. Your grandparents did it, so did your parents.

The on common trend I see is it’s mostly single women in their late twenties, early thirties who behind the scenes are extremely stuck up and judgemental. Learn how to commit and help contribute or stay at home and be a child.

Like 3rd world countries, because young adults in those countries CANNOT afford to rent , and 3rd world countires are becoming 1st world countries in prices. Im living in a 3rd world country and in just 6 years prices have become almost doubled.

Back then, you can't wait to get out of your Parents' house at 18, just because they don't want you going out partying. Now that the youth don't party anymore, it's better for them to stay with their Parents.

@OnggoGablogian

Sorry don't buy it. These are failures. Unemployment is very very low. Rent an apartment. Inflation low. In the 1980s mortgage rates were 18% and inflation was 10%.

So disgusting this greedy capitalist country. I was able to move out on my own at 21! My children couldn't do that years later.

The problem is we have not had any recessions so that asset prices can reset to reasonable levels. It is good that families can help one another during these difficult times.

"affordability crisis", you mean the recession??

@ceoxan5227

Yep! We are a family of 6. Two senior adults, 2 Gen X age adults, 2 Gen Z young adults. And one small dog. Two young adults can’t afford to live on their own and the the 2 senior baby boomers are in their 80s. Cost of living in this country is no longer an American dream but a nightmare
