Surprised it's only 46% honestly. Sometimes I feel like my wife and I are the only ones that are self sufficient.
Y’all are the only self sufficient millennials.

not something that is needed to sustain their lifestyle.
Yes but it's on top of stuff that is. Cell phone, help with housing, etc.

and her mom is paying for the whole thing. I would say part of it has to do with one of them probably not being able to afford it, and it would be weird to pay for one and not all,
I have a friend in this scenario too. A sibling is dirt broke so the family is paying for all so it doesn't single one out.

Millenials suck at life as do the first few years of the Gen Z crop.

You mean a social media director's job doesn't get paid a 6 figure salary?
Social media directors at big companies probably make a very comfortable salary.
Can’t be hiring joe the intern to be the voice of your marketing

Yes I clearly meant the only ones period and not the obvious that I'm talking about in my circle.

At most large companies they do.

the vast majority of the 46% was still being on their parents cell phone plan
Guilty of this

About 46 percent of millennials admitted their parents help them with basic costs like their cell phone bill, their groceries, and their rent.
This *could* be misleading.
I’m a millennial and I’m on my parents cell phone bill, just because it’s cheap with their family plan so we never took me off.
But I’m married, own a home, pay all my bills, etc. Could easily pay my own cell bill if needed but it’s easier this way.
I’d guess many more of that 46% are in a similar situation as myself. Plus the younger millennials are still in college so it makes sense they can’t support themselves.

We plan on going on a Euro vacation within the next year that her parents will probably attend, but we'll pay our own way and it'll probably just be the 4 of us.

You would think with a masters degree in Dance History that finding a job would be easy!

The youngest millennials are just now graduating college. It is plausible they are still being assissted by their parents. It is better than boomers eating up all the welfare funds.

We call them adults.

My gf and her sisters get money from their dad randomly... he gives them a $100.00 bill from time to time during the month. All 3 girls have good jobs, speech pathologist, physical therapist and rad tech... so it's not like they are hurting for money unless they have some crazy spending habits i'm unaware of.
Rather watch your kids enjoy the money now than fight over it when your dead.

I don't necessarily see anything wrong with this.
what is the point of building wealth if you can't/don't share it with family (or friends)?
