Just last week, Netflix announced it may start charging customers extra for “account sharing”.

This could spell trouble for the 22% of adults who use streaming services (including Netflix) their parents pay for, our data shows. Do some quick math, and that 22% equates to roughly 72 million American adults.

Our research shows 54% of adults still share common tech expenses with their parents.

Here are some of the most common expenses adults share with their parents:

  • 30% phone plans
  • 28% home internet/WiFi
  • 18% cable TV
