Youth alcohol use cools post-pandemic, but midlife health risks rise

A study in the Annals of Internal Medicine finds Americans drank slightly less after the pandemic (about a 1% drop from 2022 to 2024), though overall use remains higher than in 2018. Gen Z and Millennials led the declines, with Gen Z reducing drinking and Millennials cutting heavy drinking, but heavy drinking among adults aged 50–64 has risen since 2018. Health risks from alcohol—such as high blood pressure, stroke, liver disease (now a leading cause of liver transplants), and cancer deaths—remain a concern, particularly for older adults, signaling uneven progress across age groups.

UK Millennials Face a Long Climb Onto the Housing Ladder

Millennials in the UK still have far lower odds of owning a home than previous generations; decades of house price growth outpacing incomes and a long-term housing shortfall driven by high construction costs, planning barriers, and labor shortages have kept deposits high and rents consuming a large share of income. While recent price growth has slowed and some lenders are offering larger loans with smaller deposits, meaningful relief requires years of higher housing supply and planning reforms.

Millennials Foot the Bill as Boomers Enter Retirement Crunch

Millennials are increasingly helping fund their aging parents as many Baby Boomers are under‑saved for retirement. With only about 40% of Boomers on track to afford their lifestyles and retirement planning shifting from pensions to 401(k)s, adult children face tough trade‑offs between their own savings and supporting parents, including caregiving costs. Families are urged to discuss budgets, delay Social Security, downsize, or use Medicaid pathways, but the intergenerational impact on wealth could shape the finances of the next generation.

Cost Pressures Push Record Number of Young Adults Back to Living with Parents

A 2025 Realtor.com/Census analysis shows more than 25 million adults under 35 live with their parents, about one in three, the highest on record. The shift stems from housing costs—medians around $430,000 for homes and $1,673 for rent, with mortgage payments rising sharply—which keeps many employed young adults at home to save for a future purchase. First-time buyers remain scarce (a record low share), and marriages are delayed, further boosting two-income or shared-parent-home living as the path to independence becomes harder.
