Millennials aren't planning to live at home forever.

[TD Ameritrade's "Young Money Survey"](http://s1.q4cdn.com/959385532/files/doc_downloads/research/2017/Young-Money-Survey-Findings.pdf) showed that the average age that [young millennials,](https://money.com/health-insurance-age-26/) ages 20 to 26, considered it embarrassing to live with their parents is 28. Teenagers, however, set their standards a little higher, responding on average that at 26 they thought it would be embarrassing to live with parents.

Despite [fewer millennials living on their own,](https://time.com/3978317/millennials-living-at-home/) more than 60% said the age they would start thinking it was embarrassing to live at home was 29 or under, compared to 70% of teenagers. Only 5% of young millennials thought they should move out by the time they're 20.

The study looked at 2,001 [young Americans](https://money.com/millennials-home-ownership-china-america/) between the ages of 13 and 26.
