[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Gen Z/young millennials  has watched their parents work well over 40 hours a week and sacrifice their personal lives. They don't want to spend their entire lives at work and I think it's great.[/quote]

So this is beautifully idealistic and all but are all Gen Z independently wealthy? To abide by this life mantra they must live off of parents' savings, gifts, trust, inheritance, etc. I love the premise but am confused by the real world application. This is the same generation who takes to Twitter to non-stop complain about how expensive life is, how they cannot afford a house, blame boomers for the high cost of living, and so forth ...but they don't want to work?

I have a feeling that it'll be fun for a few years when they're young. We'll hear a different tune in a decade when they're mid-late thirties and have no savings. Living life as an influencer is short lived and revenue - if any - will shortly dry up[/quote]

I think they’re not independent by any metric. But once y[b]ou’ve given up on affording housing on your own[/b] you have a lot more slack in the budget. [/quote]

Ok. [b]So where do they live? [/b]Everyone needs to live somewhere and salary to cover rent or mortgage. Honestly, I think GenZ is going to have a sobering wake up call, as they're so far removed from reality than older generations [/quote]

In mom’s basement [/quote]

God, you’re boring. Like an ignorant old parrot. Yawn.[/quote]
