This correlates with data found in Steuber and Paik's (2014) article related to cohabitation. Researchers have found that most cohabiting relationships are formed in early adulthood (Steuber & Paik 2014). The responses of the five couples also show that cohabitation can be a short-lived union (ibid). Couple D moved in more quickly and married within a year of living together (Personal Experience D 2014). Couple E separated after three years of living together (Personal E 2014). These two experiences show that cohabitation can be a short-lived relationship that ends within three years (Steuber & Paik 2014). Throughout the duration of my research, couples A, B and C remain in cohabiting relationships, it will be interesting to see how these three cohabiting relationships end. Couples A, B, C, D, and E list some type of financial constraint as a reason for living together. Couple A has entry-level jobs and lives in Toronto (Personal Experience A 2014). This couple said that it is cheaper to share expenses, especially rent (ibid). Couple B decided to live together because it is more financially stable to share expenses (Personal experience B 2014). The female in this relationship is finishing her postgraduate education and the male is working full time (ibid). Couple D also had financial difficulties due to high rent in Toronto, and the man is still completing his studies (Personal experience D 2014). Couple E had financial constraints due to being employed in low-income jobs (Personal Experience E 2014). Both have only high school education (ibid). The personal experiences of these four couples show the financial insecurity of this age group. This correlates well with data found in Statistics Canada's Financial Security Survey (2012), the average net worth of individuals under 35
