This has been going on since mid GenX, believe it or not. It wasn’t until the Millenials, however, that people started talking about it instead of just accepting it as normal.
Comment on 38% Gen Z adults suffering from 'midlife crisis', stuck in 'vicious cycle' of financial, job stress

As a midlife millennial experiencing financial instability, mental health struggles and career uncertainty - can relate and don’t blame these kids in the slightest.
Wish I could say things get better, but I lack supporting evidence. Experience what happiness you can with what you have.

You’re only 2% behind them. It’s every generation by the way that’s having issues. I bet boomers and gen x are having less but similar numbers. This is a class issue, not a generational one.

Yeah, basically right. I had a joke written that I’m calling dibs on publishing this survey for the next generation, but the thought depressed me out of posting it.
