Seriously?
I suggest watching it. It exposes the why (spoiler: it's not because they are "lazy").
I'm an elder millenial and I'm firmly in the same boat. Nothing to inherit either since my parents don't have property. I consider myself 100% in the camp of the youth, including gen Z. I will have to work until I die.
For sure. Rent is at least 40% of the wage, savings accounts have less interest than inflation, houses lock you in for at least 30 years of debt (if you can even come up with the minimum to get a mortgage), switching jobs gets you higher wages but are still not enough to buy a house, ...
aint this system beautiful... no matter how hard you work and how much you get better wage.. for 80-90% of the population it won't be enough
Don't worry, those predatory assisted living facilities would have wiped out everything they ever worked for anyway.
