Millennial living that life right now. Assuming I stay on track, I might be able to buy a house when I’m in my 40’s and literally work until the day I die.
Comment on Gen Z is cooking more and shopping less as they struggle to achieve financial success

GenX here, sounds like me a few decades ago, counting the pennies and balancing everything, and not completely succeeding.

Just save gold and silver, and wait for the market to collapse, then trade it for houses. So many houses. So much gold and silver.

Same here. The struggle was real.

So… Just keep at it and it will work out? House, spouse, dog, picket fence and all that?

For many it will. Incomes are increase in real terms and unemployment remains at historic lows. We also just came through a decade of historically low rates which allowed generations of people to buy expensive homes.
Unfortunately those low rates, the neoliberal practise of high immigration, and NIMBY zoning laws have led to historically expensive housing and rent. Instead of war, that is this generation’s biggest challenge.
