Episode Details

Young adults under thirty-five are flooding back into their parents’ homes—25.2 million in 2025, even more than during the pandemic—struggling with soaring costs and stagnant wages. Most still work, but salaries can’t keep up with inflation. Take Karleigh Gaudreau, a 34-year-old business coach who moved in after a breakup, juggling student loans and car payments. Experts say earning at least $85K is needed to live solo, while home ownership feels out of reach for most renters. But it’s not all doom: Karleigh’s strategy is paying off—saving rent to buy her own place by November. For many, this temporary fix is a lifeline back on track.
