More than a third of adults (35%) admit they still have at least one of their bills payed by their parents.

According to a new poll, the top three expenses still paid by parents are rent (19%), groceries (19%) and utilities (16%). 

In fact, almost one-quarter (24%) of millennials polled say their parents cover their rent.

Almost 3/4 of people surveyed (72%) plan to pay these bills themselves within the next two years.

But 30% admit they will be riding the wave until they’re told otherwise.

SWNS report the poll was conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Chartway Credit Union.

The survey showed that despite not managing all of their expenses, 85% of respondents consider themselves to be financially responsible.
