How You Can Save Money with Multigenerational Living

October 31, 2025

While many cultures have a long tradition of multigenerational living, it’s recently become more popular in the U.S. as a way to save money. Combining households can be a successful way for families to support each other and reduce living expenses. An experienced multigenerational home builder can provide the right floor plans for two or more generations to live together harmoniously.

Here’s how sharing a home can save money for families:

• Older adults can avoid the cost of moving into expensive retirement communities or paying for private care if they move in with family members instead. This also helps to preserve family wealth.
• Young adults can move back home to cut their living expenses in order to save for a house or pay off student loans.
• Parents of young children can save the cost of child care by having grandparents live with them.
• All generations can save money on household necessities, utilities, furniture and more by sharing what they have with each other. More people are available to contribute to the financial and practical running of the home.
• If part of the family goes traveling, they won’t have to pay for house sitters or pet sitters as long as some family members remain at home.
