It’s like we are having two different conversations. Oh well. Nothing to see here but record profits and trying to make it all about personal responsibility and the side hustles (lolol) of the underpaid while the rich get richer. Absolutely some people spend irresponsibly. But you are seriously deluded if you think this is the only issue. It’s weird frankly, like you got yours and so you can’t even fathom that there are these other factors when clearly people just need to eat out less and get a second or third job.

You actually think that access to credit that Gen Z has is the reason they can’t afford rent or a mortgage on a now wildly priced home? Lmao

People can’t live within their means because corporations prioritize endless growth and profits over paying people more. Meanwhile landlords live off the back of this labor, all the while shrugging that it’s just the market as they steadily raise rents and grow their empires endlessly. Corporate/landlord greed is what keeps most people constantly struggling not the fancy coffee they buy every once in a while w their credit card to feel something other than hopelessness about their financial prospects (to say nothing of the environmental destruction this same greed is exacerbating—see the train derailment in Ohio for example).
