Gen Z Can’t Afford the Rent

[Umoja]

Nah, yall lazy. How many of yall quit your jobs because they felt as if they were undervalued at their jobs.

Problem is yall all want to be bosses, and minimum jobs is beneath yall. Guess what, every generation before had to get to grinding to get to making ends meet. Yall don’t want to do that.

You have statistics showing you that salary is not increasing with the cost of living.

We are living in a time where this is happening, rapidly, before our eyes. People are in full time employment, yet they are struggling to make ends meet because their wages increase does not match inflation.

What is the matter with you?

If ya parents are okay with it and you're saving money, go for it.

Black parents need to be more open to this. That's one way our ppl can catch up or get ahead financially

Mexicans be living together, Indian families too. White ppl to a lesser degree.

The Black parents that are on that, "you 18, get out", need to realize that era is over.

Bro respectfully I’m signing out of this topic. The numbers are right in front of you guys and you’re just wilfully ignoring them to trot out tropes that are ironically Lazy.

Your entire paragraph could be true for every single Gen Z in the world and yet it still isn’t accounting for the obvious causes.

Salaries are not keeping up with property prices and the property market is being inflated and over speculated on.

What we’re seeing has been set in motion before Gen Z and Millenials were even of age, boomers will eat, some Millenials will barely squeeze through and the doors will shut on those after that.

Everyone have a great day/evening depending on where you are in the world.

This is a recipe for disaster if you have money. When you have groups of people congregating in cramped housing they'll start exchanging ideas.

When you take away people's hope that they can have the same level of prosperity their parents had, you create people whose depression can turn to radical movements.

The most dangerous kind of person is one who feels he has nothing to lose. You're an absolute moron if you create the kind of conditions that produce MILLIONS of this type of person.

IDK if a revolution is gonna happen in my lifetime. Because as we see in this thread, the minute MFs get a lil something, they start on that bootstrap babble.

And that's why I personally don't trust white millennials, specifically white leftists. Most of them are just waiting for their parents and grannies to kick the bucket so they can inherit their houses and then they'll adopt their mindsets too: more bootstrap babble, selfishness and greed.

And them same ones expect their kids to take care of them when they're older.

Average income is like 31,000

Average house price is like 450,000 (26% increase from 2020)

The math ain't mathing.

Have the wages increased 26%

*This ain't even adding in the ridiculous cost of groceries, transportation, insurance, daycare ect ...

I don’t even know why I even bothered responding.

The graphs are right there showing what is going on and we’re hearing oldheads talk about sell your Iphone

@A Tribe Called Quest ™ Best of luck with your situation and may you see better days, you’re African iirc so look into buying back home cause US/UK is cooked.

I’m actually decent cause I pay $800 a month and make 3.2k a month roughly, plus Sudan is a war zone rn so ain’t no hope

This is a viable strategy, only problem is Black peoples' family structure is trash and Gen-Z doesn't think that a 2-parent home is 'optimal'.

Once we establish the above as 'normal', we'll see gains.​

You’re doing crazy well bro. Atleast you guys in the US have good wages.

Me personally I’m studying but I will be looking abroad, one of my homies from Gambia bought land there recently but his parents already own outright in London.

I'm not discounting that possibility, but there's also the number of people whose parents themselves are renters. There are millions of seniors being forced into care homes because they can't pay rent on their apartments and their kids don't have space to keep them.

The number of homeless seniors is growing too. I'm saying don't be shocked if workplace rampages come back or if someone just straight up sneaks explosives into a gathering of billionaires and blows that shyt up on some suicide bomber shyt. Don't be surprised if domestic terrorism comes back with a focus on targeting the rich. There is precedent for this.

Times have changed from the rent price being something you pay while you save money for a house or something else.

Now the rent is the same price as a house so you can't save money. You are just stuck renting.

No but if you sell your IPhone and stop eating fast food it might
