Please name a generation that has gone through three Great Depression events.
Go on.
Comment on When it comes to saving, Gen Z asks: 'What’s the point?' That's dangerous, expert says

It’s right that times are harder. But principals are the same. These kids won’t always be kids. The market is tough. But save and invest and eventually most will land a job and with time work their way up to a salary that will provide. But if we’ve hammered kids with this idea there is no future, I think we might have fucked up.

There are literally four currently alive that lived through the same 3 events. And in my very strong opinion, Gen Z was not hit the hardest of the current generations.

As a millennial with a decently paying job, I’m not as confident that they’ll end up with that salary. The job market is rough, I don’t envy anyone entering it right now and can’t blame them for their pessimism.

I’m in it now. It’s not great. But it isn’t impossible. It just takes work. But that work gets much harder if people are bombarded by this fear porn.
