Young, unmarried couples are choosing to live together at record rates. One report shows that a key reason for the spike in cohabitation is cost-cutting. According to Census Bureau data, more than 11 percent of unmarried Americans aged 18 to 24 cohabitated with a romantic partner who was not their spouse in 2023.
Co-host Jeff Tiberii talks with UNC professor Fenaba Addo about the financial pressures young people face in making the decision to shack up.
