My daughter was in med school in 2020. Was she supposed to buy a house then?
And she'll have time for the market, rates, or both to resettle, before she does buy. Nothing necessitating "hopelessness" there.

Women typically don't marry down, especially professional women (and in the comparable 95-105, etc. cohort they're likely going to get degrees and be professionals).
IF that changes, then yeah you'll see more opportunities for those guys.
But the trends are still typically true. More people are going to college and getting college degrees today. Of that, women are taking a larger and larger portion of that college population, which expands at each level (degree, grad school, etc.)

I can see the above not affecting more rural areas, but they have much lower populations (so a lower impact on the total).
Being from LA, I imagine our rural areas and the way we see them aren't like what you experience elsewhere. In many ways our rural areas are hell on earth, so I'm primed and biased for that reason.

They already bought. And then bought a rental. I’m not saying they’re hopeless. At all. She’s a physician (albeit still in residency). He’s an engineer. They’ll be fine. But they’ll also be an outlier on the income side.

The markets have never had to adjust to a demographic collapse.

quote:didnt Gen Z break for Trump in the past election? I know it did with males. There’s hope for them. There’s a rightward shift among youth. Whenever the rubber band gets pulled back so far as it has over the past 15 years with wokeism the rubber band always snaps back even harder.
I would lack hope, too, if I voted for morons like Biden and Harris. They have nothing to offer non-black, non pedophile, non-tranny, heterosexual people. Totally special interest group focused.
From Grok on global youth voting patterns:
quote:
A “Generation C” phenomenon—young people shaped by COVID’s crises—has fueled a swing toward conservative or anti-establishment parties. This is evident across the West, with young men leading the trend due to anti-feminist sentiments, online radicalization, and economic frustrations. Unlike older voters, youth often amplify volatility, boosting new or far-right parties.

I’m in St. Louis. I attend a megachurch. If you are a young male with a job, you’re a hot commodity.

There will be adjustments in the market and rates. If it’s earth shattering changes, there will be earth shattering consequences.
I think it’s obvious that there’s still a housing bubble. But I don’t have any idea of if it will ever actually burst.

Have you faced a lot of difficulties because of climate change?

Good news. Crime is not a current issue in society. It was way worse back in the good old days.

The OP article is focused primarily on Millennials, the youngest of whom are 30-somethings. Millennials had opportunities which they stereotypically shirked in exchange for social experiences. Home ownership, marriage, family were deemphasized. They were put off. They could could wait.
All of which sounds very different than your daughter's selected emphases.
This is obviously also an exercise in stereotypes which can turn into a real rabbithole. But if you are a Gen-Y 40-something who put those life-investments off, or otherwise made questionable choices in your 20's and 30's, and are now assessing the consequences, it might well feel a tad hopeless. Then again, those folks had fun experiences in youth, which your daughter probably chose to pass up.

Hmm. Ok. I appreciate the elucidation.
I think I buy the premise, at least partially.

Thanks, just wanted to clarify.
I was being serious about the murder thing a few posts back. It’s been a problem in my life. Hope allowed me to escape it.
