“ that they “just need to work harder” if they want to purchase property and provide for their families.”

Wow.
I’m surprised to see ANY negative comments here.
That’s very good advice

For any DEI candidate, the sky’s the limit regardless how hard you work! For others, just sit back and watch and STFU.

But the policies of the Dems that caused inflation make that a kind of blind attitude to what is going on for the next Gen.

From the article:

“ The fervent financial guru stated: “Hi Whoopi, I’m Freddie I run numbers on the internet and I’ve got to show you something. The minimum wage in 1980 was three dollars and ten cents, it is now seven dollars and twenty-five cents. The average salary was 12,500, it’s now 59,000, the household income was £22,000 and now it’s only £77,000 for a 3.5 increase.”

“However rent was $234 on average, now it is $1900 for a 7.8 times increase. The house price was $47,000, it is now $419,000 for an 8.9 times increase. And the big one - college was $2.3K, it is now $30,000 - thirteen times more expensive.”

He elaborated that if average incomes had kept pace with housing and university costs, salaries would need to be $171,000 and household incomes should be at $286,000. “So whooping with all due respect, I think millennials and Gen Z’s have it at least eight to 10 times harder than you all did.””
