One possibility would be living at your parents place. You don’t earn a living wage, but your parents subsidize your existence. That probably accounts for a lot of ~75% of Gen Z not earning a living wage.

Yes, I wonder how big of a piece this captures. Also age, education.

Yep. My daughter and her fiancé lived with us 2 years while they saved up to get a down payment. Thankfully we have a furnished basement.

His parents payed a bunch of the deposit so they could get a better house closer to them.
