I’m a genX. I’ve heard my grandparents talk about raising 4 children, owning a house, having 2 cars, on just my grandfather working as a butcher. Maybe older generations weren’t motivated by pay, because they never had to worry about it because they were never under paid?

Bingo. Their generation is an entire generation of griefers. The past few years make me look at my grandparent very differently.

“At Gen Z’s age, older people worked 40 hours a week, and made enough money to buy a house and have barbecues on the weekend,” says Corey Seemiller, an educator, researcher and TEDx speaker on Gen Z. “Gen Z works 50 hours a week at their jobs, and another 20 hours a week side hustling, yet still make barely enough to cover rent.”
Not sure how they wrote a whole article that basically just says this same idea they quoted at the beginning with a lot more words. Gen Z’s money troubles are very easy to comprehend lol

Six years ago it seemed ridiculous for a 1bed/1bath apartment to cost $1,200 a month. Now nothing here even starts below $2k. Shockingly, that means I need more money to live here. Who would’ve thought?

This is the chart which everyone needs to see: https://www.epi.org/productivity-pay-gap/
Pay has become important to young workers, because in this generation workers are underpaid.

A decent amount of years into my career and with my pay renting a two bedroom apartment in my area would probably be too high of a burden. I am lucky in that I bought a house when I did in the past, but I also don’t want to pull the ladder up behind me. Stick it to em gen Z.
