Gen Z Can’t Afford the Rent

[Paper Boi]

there is eventually going to be a revolution

word to @Wild self

I’m just talking about what I hear the young folks at work are saying. I know a lot of people are copping off poshmark or straight up replicas. But when somebody talks about all the money they spent on clothes and going out and traveling and THEN they struggling to pay rent tells me they don’t know how to budget

Those two things don’t necessarily mean the same thing.

Whats the point of getting vacation and personal time if you can’t travel and enjoy yourself.


The point younger generations mean is they should be able to do both(within reason. I don’t mean going to Europe on a whim.)

My car insurance/property tax is now more than what I was paying when I bought it. That has nothing to do with my budgeting skills or buying a car I couldn’t afford.

Insurance just literally decided decades of cars depreciation in value is out the window.

When's the last time you nikkas googled the wages in most of the states?

Unless you are living in the 1-2 major cities in a state it's a high chance you are getting paid crumb unless you working a STEM job, but the rent is going up because of tourism and other shyt that has nothing to do with how much money locals can reasonably make. The shyt really doesn't make any sense regardless.

There's no reason any state should have 7.25 dollar minimum wage in 2023 when other states offer twice that, but the rent is the same in both. How does that make sense?

250 at the bar every weekend wont stop rent from being 1500

If you can spend 1k a month at the bar you should be able to pay your rent

You realize all these major brands sell their stuff through outlets online? Most people aren’t getting stuff MTSD, they getting it off poshmark etc.

Gucci and Dior aren‘t the high priced items they used to be.



Pier 1 and BB&B used to be upper tier for snooty items, now they sell the same stuff at Target for half the price.

Again, traveling within the United States should be affordable on a decent salary.

You think concerts and festivals aren’t meant to be enjoyed by regular Americans?

its true fam

i be giving dudes actual financial models and investment memos i've built...telling them to use them s guides and to come at me with their ideas so that if i intro them to people in my firm they can show their skills. unfortunately nobody's done it

i used to sit in my bed room in hot ass summer days without AC teaching myself how to do financial models, research stocks, and shyt; it led me to where i'm at today

these young bucks just aint hungry enough and entitled a lot of the time

Breh, to get your foot in the door in my field, there are three requirements: valid driver's license, high school diploma/G.E.D., & the ability to read a tape measure/do simple math.

Guess how many people are missing at least ONE requirement.....in their early/mid-20's.

The other day thecoli told me they can't afford anything because they are busy taking trips and shyt.

People spending WAY more than they used to. You can’t convince me otherwise. IG has been the best travel agent I’ve ever seen. The math ain’t matching.

The one breh already was talking about spending 250 a week at the bar. You gonna triple that easy in Vegas or Miami. A few people at my job do this at least every other month


I could do this too. But I like having a roof over my head

 

[Straw Hat Luffy]

Coli so out of touch they’re making sell the iPhone joke meanwhile most gen z who’s employed probably need a top notch phone for work

Another thread that should’ve been posted in higher learning because we all know this is far too advanced for the people of TLR. I really pray for you mfs who can’t understand basic mathematics or don’t know how to read. The article said rent price has increased 135% and income has increased 77% and numbskulls are in here talking about laziness. Y’all get stupider every day man it’s so exhausting
