In my country the vast majority of people can't afford to live alone, because housing's too expensive for a single person. It has always been so, traditionally you lived with your parents until you got married, then with your families' help you'd get somewhere to live, if you were well off enough they'd help you start a mortgage, etc.
Nowadays families can't set aside that kind of savings anymore, for the most part, so the help they can provide is severely reduced.
Shit was rough for Millennials, I have no idea how Gen-Z'ers manage, as it seems to be even worse now.
