Young adults are shifting their focus from saving for their first home to spending on travel due to the skyrocketing cost of homeownership and increasing interest rates. This shift is driven by the unattainability of the traditional American dream of buying a home in their late 20s or early 30s, resulting in more disposable income being directed towards travel. The travel industry is expected to benefit from this trend, as the additional income that would have traditionally gone into saving for a home is now being allocated to travel experiences.
