Baby boomer parents tend to pressure their millennial offspring to meet certain life goals at an early age – more so than they, themselves, were pressured by their own parents, according to Porch's report, "Family Pressures and Expectations." "Your life is often planned before you are born," the authors write. "Parents and grandparents want to sketch your every day from where you might attend preschool to the college embossed on your graduate diploma, what career ladder you will follow, the type and color of home you will purchase (or inherit), and even the names of your 2.5 beautiful children. There is one slight problem: No one ran these grand ideas by you." The home services platform provider surveyed 915 individuals between the ages of 18 and 81, and found that – except for getting married and balancing a checkbook – millennials feel the familial heat more so than their parents did. The survey also polled Gen Xers, who felt the most familiar pressure of all three generations to have a job by age 18; move out of parents' house by age 21 or 18; and have a child. "Mom and dad's advice is often helpful and sometimes even followed, albeit an individual's goals and their parents' plans don't always align," the authors write. "With proper planning and guidance, you have the opportunity to craft the life you desire." More millennial insights: |
