@intels5: A Pew Research Center survey found that 87% of Americans believe buying a home is harder for today’s young adults than it was for their parents’ generation. Another 82% said the same about paying for college and saving for the future, while 80% said covering basic expenses has become harder. Finding work was also a concern: 64% said young adults face a tougher job search than their parents’ generation did. That figure reached 75% among respondents aged 18–29, compared with 58% among those 50 and older. The findings reflect the views of 10,091 U.S. adults surveyed about the financial milestones facing younger generations. Source: Pew Research Center.
