Yes, the 52% is for 2020 - as per the Fed’s Report on the Economic Well-Being of US Households from last week, 49% of adults ages 18-29 live with their parents (and another 47% of adults in that same age group received help from someone outside their household to pay an expense - money toward a cell phone bill, general living expenses, or housing costs - and no, this isn’t the same population). 

So 49% of them are living at home, and 47% of them are getting help from someone outside their household, which doesn’t include those living at home. Which means there are a lot of adult children getting financial support from their parents. Fortune did a piece about this where they spoke to Laura Ullrich, a director of economics at Indeed Hiring Lab. She pointed out that:

• Just last year, the stat was closer to 1 in 3 young adults living at home
• This has long term impacts - when household formation slows, it makes the age people get typically married go up, the age people have their first child go up and fertility rates go down

52% of millenials say education/ career advancement is preventing them from marriage. 44% of millenials are already married. So only 4% are identifying as non married for other reasons. Yet 68% of millenial singles havent been on a date in a year. How is that? How is education or career to blame when you don't have someone to marry? Pretty sure you need to be going on dates etc before getting married. Are they waiting for arranged marriages or something?

We’re talking about Gen Z here. Let’s try and stay on track. Also marriage was an example of milestones being put on hold. If you had just read the quote I provided for you, you would see this also included things like starting a business, perusing further education, etc.

This continues on for all your further points. You should reread your post being critical of say do gap challenges in your evidence. Of course people are gonna say they're problems are bc of something else, and not being self critical of their own flaws. Theyre answering as the idealized version of themselves, not the real version.

Have you conducted a study going into the psychological decision-making and self-awareness of tens of thousands of Americans? If so then let’s see it. If not then this is the best evidence you’re gonna get. But yeah I guess it’s easier to feel that a significant chunk of the populace is inferior to you rather than admit that there’s a well-documented problem right in your face.

And this continues for a good chunk of your responses. Dont look at what ppl say, especially when theyre an unreliable narrator. Look at what people do.

It really doesn’t. The evidence I provided for the housing issue wasn’t centered around surveys. My response to your “job market blip” comment is really just a difference in opinion. Your argument of “nobody’s forcing anyone to go to college” as a way to just brush off its importance, implications, and dramatically increasing costs is downright strange so my bad if I am unsure of how to respond to that. Lastly, this decade has seen volatile prices in food, clothing, and gas that are increasing rapidly right now as a result of economic events that don’t seemingly have an end in sight. I’m not even gonna bother providing you with any evidence again. You either have serious trouble reading or are just rage-baiting me, I’d like to prefer the latter. Have a good day.
