The oldest millennials are now pushing 40, and they still sometimes need their parents to bail them out in this financially broken world.

According to a new study, almost half of millennials say their parents still help them out financially on a monthly basis.

Almost 18% say their parents pay for their cell phone, 10% groceries, 6.5% rent, 6% health insurance, and 6% gas.
