Comment on "I was born in the wrong generation" has turned from edgy to a sad reality for some

  I wonder if Gen X's truly "have" homes, or just have been paying on a mortgage, which at the rate 2025 is going might put them in the same category as Millennials, or even behind, so like Z?

    GenX here, never in my life has a home been affordable and I am so fucking tired of the younger gens assuming we have it so easy.

    I’ve strggled just like you for decades longer and the lack of empathy and recognition has made me hate all of you

      Nobody has ever claimed that every gen x owned a home. There have always been people who can and people who cannot afford a home, but each generation has more people in the can’t-afford group than the previous. At 30, more genx owned a home than millennials, and more millennials than genz.

      The problem you’re having is that everyone else is talking trends and you’re talking personal annecdote.

    Most of the ones I know do, but there are plenty without, just not nearly as many as Gen’s Y & Z.

      Imagine that, younger folks own fewer homes…
