The youngest adult generation is acting a little more like their grandparents when it comes to traditional lives.
A new study from The Times finds Gen Z is a lot more in favor of marriage than their parents. Only 20 percent of that generation looks at marriage as "irrelevant."
Less than a quarter of people under the age of 28 are having one-night stands. Only 23 percent of 18 to 27-year-olds said their friends commonly had sex on a one-night stand — a steep fall from the 78 percent of millennials who said yes to that question 20 years ago.
But, here's the cloud in that silver lining. Those adults aren't looking at marriage as a love and marriage thing. It's more of a business arrangement.
They tend to think of marriage as a way to beat a system that's rigged against single people when it comes to affordable housing, health care, and other money issues.
