Because many, (not all, but many), live in this protected bubble:
Retired
Unaware
Comfortable
Set for life
Don't care
They think coz this generation has Internet, and games, and instant food and uber.....they have it easy.
They have no idea .
This generation has been labled " the landlord generation" for a reason.
Most will NEVER own a house .
Once upon a time - a house was equal to a years wage .
Now its half a million smackaroos

@OogieBoogie There’s a lot of boomers that use those services as well. Internet has pretty much became a necessity in the digital age especially for those that earn their income via the internet.

@OogieBoogie Don’t forget they also walked 10 miles in the snow, adventured through the Amazon, and crossed the desert to get to school in -30 weather.

@OogieBoogie I'm of the age that falls into categories; old, retired, grew up without the internet. But ....

I don't know when that was, but I've never gotten to purchase a home for remotely close to one year's wages.

@OldGrandDad i dont know where you are, but here, in the 1980's a average outter suburban house was $35 - 40 000.
Which was an averge middle class per annum wage.
Now its just crazy. Those houses are $500 000 now😒

@OogieBoogie Perhaps my view is jaded because I spent 20 years, including nearly all the 80s, serving and getting paid the meager wages of our US military. I never saw $35-40K until after I got out. At that point my home purchase cost me $172K.
