Half of US young adults live at home, fueling luxury good boom

A record number of young adults in the US are currently living at home, and all that saved rent is sparking a luxury boom.
Recent data from the US Census Bureau shows that nearly half of young Americans between ages 18 and 29 are living with their parents today. That's a historical high not seen since the Great Depression era, Morgan Stanley analysts wrote in a Friday note.
The analysts estimated that around 48% of young adults are living with parents in 2022, similar to levels seen in the 1940s.
But that's great news for luxury retailers, because saving on daily necessities like rent and groceries is freeing up disposable income for discretionary spending, a team of Morgan Stanley analysts that Edouard Aubin leads found.”

Am I the only one that when I turned 18 was trying as quickly as possible to get the hell out of my parents house?

Each person having their own home was never a sustainable future.

Be curious what that age distribution is. A 23 year old living at home is a whole lot different than a 28 year old living at home.

No way in hell could I have lived with my parents until I was 29. I would have gone insane or someone would have died.
By the time I turned 29 I’d been in the Army for 11 years. I couldn’t imagine still mooching off my parents.

Those are the same people that in 10 years will be bitching about paying rent because they can't afford to buy a house.

shows no financial responsibility.
If your kids are still living in your house when they are 29 you probably didn’t do a great job of teaching them any type of responsibility.

I wish they broke down the ages differently.
I view 18-22 year olds at home much differently than 26-29 year olds.

Universities are a part of the problem too. These are kids that have no understanding about money or what a college degree gets you.

There are multiple reasons why i wouldn’t live at home however, the biggest reason by far is because i can’t do dirty things to my lady friends at my moms house.
My mom would have a heart attack if she walked in and saw a chick tied up in column knots on her, nipple clamps, butt plug, and a wand put on her bean.
I gotta have a fun room where i live for ladies and i can’t be doing that at mommas

I owned a home and was married with kids at 29.

I guess I did something right because both my kids moved out on their own before they were 20. I missed them not being at home but I'm proud of them for their personal responsibility.

Not everyone is cut out for College. But they get pushed to it and end up wasting multiple years and countless amounts of money on some useless degree.

It's ok. Nobody is judging you for being 30 and living with your parents. Well, maybe a little.

Sooooo…..instead of saving money to live on their own….they are spending money on luxury items. Sounds about right.

eta: and obviously living at home to buy luxury goods is retarded

I stayed at my folks house for a couple months when I was working in the area. I paid them rent. Have to admit it was pretty nice.

Is it just me or is this a poorly worded sentence?
I assume they mean they live at their parent's home?
When I moved out of my mom's home, I then moved into my own home.
