Nearly eight in 10 Gen Z Americans have delayed, reconsidered or abandoned at least one major life plan because of rising costs, as soaring expenses force younger adults to rethink homeownership, education, having children, marriage, and starting a business.
A Credit One Bank survey of 1,000 US adults, produced and distributed by Stacker, found that 79% of Gen Z respondents had changed at least one major life plan because of rising costs. Overall, 83% said managing household costs had become at least somewhat harder over the previous two years.
