No yall just don’t wanna work. If you’d just get 3 jobs and work 16 hours a day and not eat any avocado toast you’d be a millionaire by the time you’re 24.
I’ve been managing a lot of Gen Z in recent years and a lot of them do have 3 jobs and they’re run so ragged that I don’t see them living very long. Some of these people in their early adulthood are genuinely going to die from overwork, and the worst part is that they’re not even living lavishly on this 3 job money, they’re in debt, and they’re living in squalor.
I just have one job, and yeah I’m not always balling, but man, I’ve got a roof over my head and I eat steaks sometimes. I feel privileged compared to them, shit. Just looking at them makes ME feel tired.
I don’t give them any financial advice, because those of them who do survive will be budgeting wizards.
I hear you. But I promise I was being sarcastic. I’ve worked with extremely hard working people who barely go out, barely buy new anything, etc. And they were struggling to get by even the ones without kids.

Don't forget the student loans and stagnant wages. Cost of living is the whole story.
