How are people comfortable living here unemployed?

Maybe it’s just me but the amount of young (30 and under) people I’ve met here that are unemployed with little desire to work is a little shocking considering how expensive this city is and how landlords ask for so much when renting out apartments here. I recently met up with two girls I met through a Facebook meet up group, they were late 20s and when we were getting to know each other, I asked what they did for work and both of them said they didn’t have jobs but also quickly said “My parents don’t help me”

Last year I met a girl off of Hinge who lived in a nice 3 bedroom apartment in the East Village. She had 2 roommates, but she herself didn’t work. She told me she had moved to the city a year prior with “no job, just hoping it would all work out”

Is it just savings? Rich parents? I was unemployed for 3 weeks once and I had crippling anxiety every day until I found something else
