[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You forget that Gen Z doesn’t read real news sources. They only believe what they see on social media…tick toc, etc. And are incapable of critical thinking. [/quote] How do we fix this?? Teach them to understand the source of the information. Always follow the money. Who is providing the information and why should you listen to them.[/quote] Y'all forget America is imploding and feeding on itself. You think this is not lost on GenZ ??? They can't afford housing. They can't afford food. They can't afford medical care. They can't afford college. They're forced to live in their mother's basement. Every single member of GenZ knows someone who has died from fentanyl overdose (unless they're living under a rock). You think the disparity between the future they're facing vs. what was possible in their grandparent's generation is lost on them? Who is kidding whom? Of course they don't want to vote. They're not stupid. They see the forest while y'all are lost looking at the trees. [/quote] These are also social media myths going around. Gen Z has the same opportunities that millennials, X, and yes, even Boomers had. This is all being fed into a funnel and there's literally no reality here. Their grandparents actually had it worse with regards to interest rates, inflation, but if I go online today I can find 100 Boomer bashing non facts ,particularly about money and affordability that are just inhaled. [/quote] You’re insane. [/quote] +100. I don’t know what the PP is smoking but Gen Z does not have the same opportunities as even the millennials…..housing is unaffordable, college is insanely expensive, healthcare costs go up every year, no one is taking climate change seriously and we are too busy sending billions to wars abroad instead of focusing on our problems at home. [/quote] I don't know what *you* are smoking, but all the young millennials and Gen Z I know are buying houses. They aren't big houses, is that it? They are townhouses, smaller SFH. They drive used cars, went to state schools and most have kids or planning to. They live within their means and many just had whatever school debt they had paid off by Biden. Some are continuing in grad school. I graduated in 1979, biggest recession, gas was rationed, housing mortgage rates were 18% in 1981, I didn't see a low rate like everyone thinks until around 2012. Here's a tip- you need to train for some career, college or other, work up to a salary, buy or rent within your means. Tik Tok and IG gives everyone money dysphoria- like you should have large kitchens in large houses, trips, clothes, big weddings, etc. You wont live in DC, Seattle, NY, or LA. Your experience as a 22 year old graduate is literally the same as mine or better. My first salary? 9k. Teacher. Spouse? 17k , last salary-120k after 38 years. I retired after 35 years. Last salary in 2019- 90k . My 28 year old neighbor makes 2x that and has been working since 22, bought a house at 24. [/quote] How much was the house he/she bought at 24? [/quote] Oh, the neighbor- 325k[/quote]
