    It definitely has gotten harder for the younger generation. When I graduated in 2003, my starting salary was $45k and I was paying $800 for rent in my area. Now kids are starting at 80k but rent is $2800. I could buy a Big Mac combo back then for $5 and now it’s $15. It was also easier to get a job as I could interview once and be done. When I interviewed for my job last year it required 4 rounds spread across multiple days with 15 different people and I had to present an idea for an hour to all of them. I was picked from hundreds of candidates compared to my first job I was picked from 3 other candidates.

    The biggest issue Gen Z is facing is that rents are now more than the average wages, unlike we’ve never seen before. Prior to 2020, people were making more in wages than the average rent. Nowadays is the opposite, and Gen Z can’t possibly save any money for anything and much less purchase a house 😢

It's frustrating to keep applying for jobs and either not hear back from them, or receive rejection emails even after I finish having an interview. The jobs I applied to, but was rejected by before, keeping showing up in my email feed, which remind me of my past failures to be able to make my own living. I know there's no point in trying again and again, but what can I do? It makes me wonder if there was anyone who knew how to turn them off or take them down.

    Millennial here, born and raised in NYC.
    I've been working since I was 15 making minimum wage which was like $7 back then.
    I had no college debt because I went to community college and applied for every loan I could. College became free and I got money back. I lived at home and commuted to school everyday. It's fine to go to a private university, but why do you need to be there for 4 years. Take 2 years at a community college, knock out all the prereqs then transfer to a private university. Pick a good paying degree instead of some garbage degree that has no use. Trade school is also an option.
    My starting salary in 2012 was $15/h. I lived with my parents, contributed to bills then saved/invested whatever I could. I only socialized with very close friends instead of every person I know. Cooked my own meals instead of eating out.
    Now I make $40/h. It's not much but enough for me because I have no debt. I don't own a car and I take public transport and live outside NYC with 40 min commute. $2600 for 2 beds which I split with my gf. If you are going to move out, then move in with a roommate. 2 beds is only a few hundred more than studio/1 bed but your rent is now half.
    Most importantly, I have self-control. I don't feel the need to imitate the lifestyle of some random person online or buy whatever garbage they are endorsing. I don't need some keyboard warrior or random person at work to acknowledge my existence by buying the latest tech every year.
    Only expensive thing I do is 1 international trip a year.

Most of it is my own doing though, such as getting a 0 mileage car for 30K when I was 19 (although it was 0% APR) and having to pay for very expensive insurance, paying rent along with credit card debt, and all these subscriptions that really do add up! Then you throw the higher costs of living than normal. I'm forced to skip meals regularly because of grocery costs, gas, etc. Luckily I don't drink or party much but I do smoke weed often and that itself has been an entire bill. In the end I've decided to end my lease, move back in with family at the cost of my mental health and try to clear as much debt as possible before moving out again while I still have the flexibility to do so. I've learned a lot over the course of the past few years but I won't be completely financially free until I finish this car note.

    Financial education and good money spending habits passed down to Gen Z's from their parents (Gen Xs) can make a huge difference. If you have grown up in a household of spenders but no savers, you will only learn to spend your money. I did not learn the value of money, so I was a spender until 30 years old. Looking back, fast cars, parties, smoking, expensive gfs, university student loans, all of these things made me poor. It was my poor lifestyle choices and terrible spending habits that made me poorer. It is still not too late, start re-educate yourself on the true value of money in your situation and make wise spending choices. Also, stop blaming society and others, you have be ready to take responsibility of your lifestyle decisions. Good luck to all.

The reason was that they were risk averted folks. they keep their "cash" stash and they don't do anything with it. Over time, that cash stash has less value because of inflation. By the time they are too old to work, their money also lost most of its value. Cost of living goes up. A house cost 5 times...etc. They could have been millionaires, if they use the money to leverage on rentals and other investments like IRA, 401k....etc. I know it could happen, because I broke free and did all of those investments.

I'm 54 and its never been easy in my life....its about good decision making which people from all generations often succeed and fail at. Those decisions will be the biggest indicator of where you land later in life.
      Speaking of TV, Three's Company was a very popular sitcom in the 80s and Friends was a very popular one in the 90s. These were shows that revolved around people in their 20s in roommate situations. The public could relate...because everyone in their 20s had roommates. I never lived alone in my life and at 29 got married.
      But Gen Z thinks they are entitled to living alone, new cars, overseas vacations and continues impulsive spending on everything under the sun. In other words they try to live WAAAYYYY beyond their means. That lifestyle never happened...not in my lifetime...in your 20s you can expect to be broke and starting your career which means beater cars with no payment and roommates....that is normal....the Gen Z way is NOT normal...hence the problems. Entitlement and spending issues are a big part of Gen Z issues.

    Anushka is definitely on point when saying Gen Z has tremendous social media challenges for living a certain lifestyle. I’m a boomer and keeping up with the Joneses was definitely a thing for us. The difference is the Joneses were our work mates or our neighbors, most of whom were similar to us in socioeconomic status. These younger generations are seeing people from across the world. They’re being shown a 2 minute segment of someone “living their best lives”. More than likely what is being shown is not true to life but trying to compete or live up to that is much harder.
    My advice for Gen Z. Don’t give up. Times are very hard right now but that doesn’t mean that’ll always be the case. If home ownership is currently out of reach, try to resist doom spending. Invest what you can. Be ready when things improve to take advantage of your opportunity.
    Believe it or not, times were super challenging in the early 80s, but they did improve.

      LOL, the older generations (Gen X) perpetuated the idea of "Get a degree, or you'll fail." All throughout high school, we were told, "If you don't go to college, you'll be flipping burgers and basically be broke".
      It's so apparent how out of touch the older folks are when you ask them, "So you think I can buy a house? Do me a favor, pull up a mortgage calculator. Put in your current house price that you own, and tell me with a straight face that it's doable".
      I own my own company and work full time. I've lived with roommates in cheap apartments, and I don't partake in any trends like fast fashion, etc. The biggest problem is once again, how many excuses are thrown at Gen Z like "Just live with your parents and save money." or "Don't buy takeout". So many empty, thoughtless suggestions ignore the major glaring problem.
      The best part is that you don't have to believe us. You can do the math yourself. Literally, look up the median house cost and the median household income as of today. Figure out the multiple (income to cost of house), as well as the numbers from when you started working. Feel free to look up the acceptance rate of colleges and the cost of education, then the acceptance rate of graduates who would get a job. It's not hard to do any of these things, but it's really rich coming from people who are so out of touch and ignore facts they can look at right in front of their own eyes. I know it's been tough for the older generations to comprehend this, and it's very telling because of how much Millenials and Gen Z are blamed. Here's the vast majority of "advice" in this very comment section: "Just do X because you're dumb and clearly don't know what you're talking about". Sure, not word for word, but the idea of "You're clearly doing something wrong and it's your own fault" is not helping at all and shows your character more than anything.

      Why should you have to give up 40 hours a week just to get by, let alone 60-70? I’ma enjoy my time now, rather than some imaginary promise of retirement, we all die someday and no one promise you that you’ll have tomorrow.

They want to maintain everything that causes problems. They hold tightly to drmicrst/ leftist ideologies. Upholding those is more important than admitting truth and correcting problems.
      It's simple, our government has been hijacked by mega corporations. Congress is ruled by lobby money. We are officially a fascist oligarchy.
      Same people who complain about being broke were all for covid lockdowns which destroyed small businesses and the middle class, all for immigration even though its simple logic that more people mean less job availability, lower wages and competion for housing.
      Since Obama we've had 50 million immigrants, not counting illegals. Thats a huge increase in people . They all use water, look for jobs or get social services, and take up housing. , and lower wages, higher taxes and less housing with increased costs because of demand are a few of the results.
      I'd say we've really had about 100 million immigrants since 2016 with illegals. That's a HUGE population increase, and most are young adults looking for welfare or jobs.
