“They shouldn’t be bemoaning their situation, they should be looking at the world and saying, ‘What can I make of it? What can I do better than the folks before me?’”
It’s true that Gen Z is concerned about their financial welfare in 2025, but data suggests that many of their fears will be relatively short-lived.
For example, Gen Zers (people born between 1997 and 2012) say they are having to turn down job opportunities because they can’t afford commuting expenses and have decided to focus on their pets in lieu of having children because kids have become too expensive to raise.
In addition, they’re abandoning their dreams of owning a home soon—unless they believe they’ll receive an inheritance soon.
This cash-strapped present may prove a contrast to their wealthy future, however, with the Great Wealth Transfer estimated to trickle around $84 trillion from the baby boomer and silent generations to their younger relatives.
Indeed, the shift will be so great that millennials are expected to be the wealthiest generation in history in the coming two decades.
Good news. When the old people die, you will all be rich.
Hate read? Hate read.
How are they supposed to do that when you need a rich person’s explicit permission to work first and they’re not hiring. Huh? Where are the opportunities for personal growth? Capital’s ONE JOB was to provide those so I can work and capital failed.
Translation: “Worry not poors, us older folks will live life FOR YOU! Just wait patiently for us to die and maybe you’ll have some scraps!”
So trickle down all over again?
Easy for you to say mr. Candy ass. Tell that to California, how’s being ‘rich’ working out for them? What’s that, snobs like you are dead set in turning that into a massive billionaires only country club, leaving thousands homeless? Yeah, it’s rich FOR YOU!
We tried and you said “sorry, not hiring! I’m picky!”
TL;DR: The whole article reeks of just-world fallacy and unironically tells zoomers to be patient for the wealth to trickle down from boomers.
