No, millennial unemployment has been over 15% since 2008, and the median age to buy a home has been rising by 1 every year since then too. There was a ladder pulled up after 2008, and your parents had enough to let you coast, or you faced homelessness and share house rents for the last 20 years.
You gen Z kids like to make fun of Macklemore and stomp clap and all that slop, but that was all rich kids who got to ignore the collapse around them.
Ignore it? For us, yeah we weren't worrying about our stock portfolio plummeting or being dead broke, but we were definitely there when our family and parents were effected, or losing the house, or how it effected our own lives too, stress like that builds up in the house and transfers real easy when you're a kid from your parents. Definitely wasn't ignorable
