The last thing Caitlin Hipp would have expected as she prepared to turn 28 years old was to be living at home with her parents. All she’s ever wanted to do is to become an elementary school teacher. However, Hip has raked up (累计) $100,000 (about 0.67 million yuan) in student loan debt and isn’t able to earn enough though working as a part-time skating instructor and restaurant server to live anywhere other than home.
To some degree multigenerational households have always been a part of American life. However, the number of adults who have been moving back in with their parents or never leaving home in the fist place has been growing steadily.
The Pew Research Ceterecely reported that 2016 was a milestone in the evolving living arrangement of in the US.
Until 2016, the most common living for young adults was to be living in their own property as part of a couple. UBS Financial Services, a Swiss global financial services company, released a report that even suggests one reason for the  growing number of young adults still living at home could be that their family doesn’t want them to leave. The report shows that 74 percent of millennials (千禧一代) get some kind of financial support from their parents after college. Millennials see their parents as peers, friends and mentors ( 导 师 ).In return, their parents happily provide financial support well into adulthood, helping fund everything for them. Stuart Hoffman, chief economist for the PNC Financial Group in the US, said “Although job growth for millennials since 2014 has improved, that doesn’t necessarily mean that millennials are starting to fly the nest, he said. “They may like living at home and being able to save money.”
He added, “While it has held back household formation and purchases on things, they are probably traveling more and eating out more. I don’t know if it represents a change in moral values, it’s much more common for adult children to live in their parent’s homes because it’s becoming part of the culture.”
