A survey of 2,000 adults found many struggle with essential “adulting” tasks, with appliance repair and toolbox use topping the list. Thirty percent don’t know how to file taxes, while 23% can’t handle basic contracts. Twenty percent struggle with flatpack furniture assembly and 17% don’t understand interest rates. The poll shows 68% of young adults believe their grandparents handled adult responsibilities better. Among Gen Z, 59% still depend on parents for bills, including mobile phones (46%) and rent payments (35%). Surprisingly, 24% of Gen Z didn’t realize electricity bills required payment, and 31% thought water was free. Fifty-eight percent wish they’d learned mortgage applications at school. (Story URL)
