Because you say it is.

That's not how this works. I'm not limited by your ignorance.

THAT has not happened, unless "words really are that hard" for you

I believe that you are playing a game - nothing else seems possible

That is just from 1996 on.

And if you don’t like that graph, I can find you another…and another…and another saying the same thing.

The three most important aspects of society are education, housing, and healthcare, and they outpaced everything else.

Why is this so hard to accept for you?

This world is becoming unaffordable.

They aren't digging deep enough. #1) They aren't using total compensation #2) wages are simultaneously rising, stagnating and growing rapidly at the same time. It's not a generations fault that individual parents failed to guide them to growing industries with high demand for labor. Something mean, median and modes don't pick up #3) personal earnings increase over time so no shite millenials aren't as rich as their parents

and on and on and on...

That’s from a one second google search. It hasn’t hard to find information…unless you don’t want it because it conflicts with what you believe.

Do you think the size of homes about doubling might be part of the picture here? Central air? Attached 2-car garages?

Like I said, you guys are economic illiterates.

They don't even build small starter homes any more. Millenials are price takers, not price makers, when it comes to housing. The overwhelming majority are forced to rent anyways, and even that has outpaced inflation by 73%. It's not just because they're renting "luxurious homes", ALL homes are more expensive, even the crappy shotguns off of Plank Road.

The reality is that if one wants to work for a living and raise a family of children that go to decent schools and live in a neighborhood where they're less likely to get mugged in their driveway, it has never been MORE expensive to do so. Doing so likely requires more years of education, at a significantly higher price, with duel incomes, paying exhorbitant childcare costs, and paying higher rent/mortgage and taxes. This generation must work far far far more hours to get to the same place than did boomers or gen xers at the same times of their careers.

All of these costs are pure economic data. Let's not forget the wave after wave of socio-economic colamities that repeatedly put young workers behind the 8 ball when it comes to getting a stable job. 2008 hit right when they were trying to get their first job experiences. That meant that when they graduated college, they were less likely to have decent internships and experience. Because of the glut of workers, companies were demanding more and more experience and education, but workers struggled to find spots on the lower rungs that they could jump on to start climbing.

By 2020, they should have been established in their careers, but instead, many were just making it beyond the entry level because entry level was demanding 5 years of experience. Let's see...2008+4 years of undergrad +2 years of grad school + 5 years of grinding equals...COVID! Covid hits as soon as they should be able to transition into real professional level sustainable jobs, wiping out millions of careers and thousands of businesses overnight.

While the supply chain crisis created a dearth of workers for unskilled work, the professional class is stuck struggling to find decent work. You can say "well, you shoulda been a plumber", but it would take several more unproductive years of apprenticeship before one could switch careers to plumbing. In the meantime, they can't afford rent, and they're going without health insurance.

These workers get trapped in the gap, or are forced into the gig economy. They barely make enough to survive, and not enough to invest in skills that open up higher up work. They're educated in a career field that won't hire them, but because they've now got a gap on their resume, employers won't touch them. They're years away from being able to switch to something else, but cannot afford to pause making enough to eat long enough to switch.

There's literally millions of folks that are stuck in this same trap right now, and boomers think that all of them are poor because "oh, they spend too much on coffee and avocado toast". That could not be further from the truth as that stereotype is beyond inaccurate for 90% of the demographic.

Scruffy showed you averages over time and you’re willfully ignoring what is staring you in the face. I refuse to believe you’re an engineer who can’t understand how to interpret this data.

We aren’t economically illiterate, you’re just so biased you can’t think straight. Making excuses for what is so obvious.

You don’t realize Jimmy and wutang are trolling. You’re the true believer and your agreeing with them is making you look like a fool.
