Just wait until Gen Z figures out they have to pay all the bills the boomers are running up right now...in addition to their own bills...

Gen Z is doomed because the older generations kept voting in garbage litigation expanding the debt and kicking the can down to their children and grandchildren.

The elites who sponsor garbage litigation can well afford to provide for their own progeny. The foolish middle class listens to the elite propaganda and votes away their own children’s heritage.

Gen Z was born from 1997 to 2012. If they are distributed equally, nearly 60% of them are under 21. The oldest are 27.

I know I did not have a mortgage at 27. I had barely just gotten married.

ALL of these articles about Gen Z this or Gen Z that make definitive statements about the generation are just ridiculous. Half the generational cohort cannot even sign a contract yet. 12% of them can rent a car on vacation.

In short they are kids. Like, middle school and high school kids.

Ahhhh ... more generational stereotyping and hate-mongering.

To quote “the Emperor”: “ Yeeesssssss ... let the hate flow through you!”

This is the generation that has grown up in Obama’s “fundamentally transformed” America. The American Dream is no longer attainable by average people. For the most part, they are screwed, and I think they realize that it was the Old Folks who did it to them.

Unfortunately, they may still believe that Communism will solve their problems.

I know. Let’s import millions of illiterate poor turd worlders, give them unlimited welfare, homes, medical care, and education. That will certainly help.

Joe said they are just buying luxury items instead of saving for school.

not the “pandemic” at all. de-education is purely the reason.

If you try to tell them to save money and how to do it half will tell you that you just do not understand. They need that $30 dinner delivered by door dash when they could have gotten it for $15 by spending five minutes in the drive thru on their way home. And they need to spend that $200 to go to the bar.

They are eating and drinking all their money away and say that is the only way to have a "life". Let's not even get into the amount they spend on recreational pharmaceuticals.

The other half do get it and are learning life skills like how to cook, how to fix stuff and how to save.

I do have hope for them.

Not a surprise. They’ve never bothered to educate themselves. “Snow days” are more important.

All this debt, of course, is now driving delinquincy rates, with auto loan delinquencies rising by half

People including myself were expecting a glut of used cars on the market once the Covid payments stopped and that didn't happen.

I’m so old I consider $200 a month to be a reasonable car payment.

I have a buddy that runs a dealership. He laughs at me. The low $400’s a month will get you a POS. A decent vehicle will be closer to $600 a month.

I wanted a new pick up truck. IF I was willing to go 6 years of payments I could get a basic model for about $700 a month.

That’s nuts.

I’m old...

At the moment a 27 yr old who wants an apt and a car better have one hell of a job. I checked a new construction three story garden apt type building shoehorned in to some space at, not near, at the railroad tracks in a heavy commercial area 2400.00 a month for a studio, 4100.00 for a 2 bedroom. For the studio you’d have to take home 600.00 a week just to make the rent.

Years after the fact, the mainstream media is discovering that Gen Z is doomed.

Yes, but have they figured out that the cause is liberalism, socialism, and communism? My Tagline thinks NO.
