" Part of becoming an adult is knowing that you have to either pay rent or you'll have a house payment. Our hope is that by doing all this, we're preparing her for the world."

Only 28 percent felt that adult children should live rent-free. Another survey conducted by Lending Tree produced similar results.

Hawaii and New Jersey are expensive places to live, while Florida is more affordable.
