Trivia Question

Q: This survey found that those 18-30 are anxious about this and are unprepared for it. What is it?
A: Adulthood.

So, the survey reveals a sobering truth: Gen Z is struggling with the most basic life skills that make adulthood manageable. They evidently get lost in financial literacy, housing knowledge, legal basics, and self-sufficiency. Despite a digital fluency that sets them apart, young adults in the U.S. feel anxious about their lack of everyday skills.

Over 80% of Gen Z Feel Anxious About Their Life Skills

The key findings are clear:

Financial literacy scored the lowest, with only 31% answering correctly.

Only 20% felt confident in their everyday skills.

Over 80% of respondents reported feeling anxious due to a lack of practical life skills.

Google remains the top resource for life skills advice, still outpacing TikTok and ChatGPT.
