Gen Z Says Boomers Will Never Understand Today's Struggle

"We need to stop expecting the same damn people who bought a four-bedroom home and a brand-new Cadillac convertible off of a $30,000-a-year salary to understand what it's like to be working 40-plus hours a week with a master's degree and still not being able to afford a 400-square-foot studio apartment in bumf-ck Iowa," he said.

This discourse comes in the wake of criticisms by prominent figures who have labeled Gen Z as "lazy" for their differing attitude toward work. Scott's response highlights a fundamental disconnect, pointing out that despite following the prescribed path of education and employment, many young adults find themselves in precarious financial positions.

These were comments made after Dave Ramsey a popular personal finance rich guy tried to knock millennials and gen z for still living with parents:

Pros and cons to both generations. There are things that make a huge difference nowadays like inflation and AI . But on the other hand there are so many opportunities of making money with technology it’s almost shooting yourself in the foot if you don’t have multiple streams of income.

@Heavenlywarrior keep in mind I'm not saying you're wrong, there's at home jobs but it's heavy with scams too.

@SatanBurger I agree. And you can’t get rich quick. But like he said it’s a supplemental tool and attach it to a brand. Increase productivity. It’s just another tool that can be used to help people reach their goals.

And people have made money using it regardless.

@Heavenlywarrior Like I said, they are influencers with a certain personality type, not everyone can do that.

Guess what's going to happen when they ask Gen Z and Millennials to fight WWIII for them? Russians , Chinese and Iranians have something to fight for. Do Americans? Too many Americans live on their knees or in fear of losing what they have under a system run by elites that hate and mock them.

How's that sustainable?

Boomers are everything they accuse millenials and gen z of being
It's true. The economy has changed to the point where if boomers were starting out today, they would absolutely 100% fail and end up homeless.

@LordShadowfire I've heard it say that retirement is even screwed up now for us all.
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
@LordShadowfire I would argue that 40 hours a week is also on the low side of pay. To get the equal amount of pay you better be working 80 hours weekly.

@SatanBurger retirement is easily repairable. We've just got half of the politicians fighting tooth and nail to make it fail. And naturally boomers don't care because they've got theirs.

Baby Boomers are the champions in ladder pulling.
