We'll see if they have it worse than millennials.

Millennials had Covid AND the 2009 crash to deal with.

Gen Z needs another major economic meltdown (That somehow doesn't affect Millennials) to compete

I'm tail end of Gen X. Easy time to be successful.

Because of Iraq and Afghanistan clusterfricks the military was recruiting almost anyone and pay and benefits increased. I enlisted despite a criminal record, did ROTC after my enlistment, Army paid for my masters.

Bought a house in 2007 refinanced in 2011 to a 3.5% 15 year mortgage. Sold and cashed that out later. Bought current house with 0% down (thanks VA loan) at 2.6%.

Invested at least 10% of everything I've made since I turned 20. Returns have been amazing.

Americans are mostly just lazy and entitled. Go to Dallas sometime check out the Kenyan or Indian communities. All thriving. High rates of military service and advanced degrees. Tons of retirement savings. The American Dream.

Suburb dwellars just don't want to sacrifice anymore and treat college like an entitlement for a good time not a business decision.
