According to recent data through Futurecast an agency focused on millennial and Gen Z research, millennials make up about 25% of the U.S. population. As the new upcoming homeowner generation, they have a very different outlook about achieving the American the dream. Since most millennials experienced the great recession during their foundational adult years, many are unlikely to reach the level of financial stability their parents did at the ages they are now. Millennials are changing what use to be considered the “status quo” of going to school, getting married, buying a home and having children. Instead, many millennials find themselves in a unique position or even at a crossroads with what used to be expected of them as adults and where they are in life.
