Living with your parents used to be the kind of thing that lots of people only did until they were in their late teens or early twenties. But these days, it's more common than ever to live with your parents well into adulthood. Millennials and Gen Z know this all too well, since both generations are living with their parents way longer than previous generations.

It's hard out here financially, and it's basically become the norm to work multiple jobs and live with your parents indefinitely.
