Many in Generation Z are having a difficult time finding affordable rent in Northern Nevada. This is becoming more common among the generation across the country to stay at home to save money instead.
It was incredible some boomers couldn’t see that between college debt, and a radically different world of cost in housing to say nothing of food, transportation and energy costs, that their generation’s corporate permissiveness and privatization had collectively taken away what was so generously given to them by society. The effects this had on relationships, marriage and even children is crystal clear–and that’s maybe one of the most truly awful parts of it…the generation had a future life and maybe children they would have wanted taken from the by course of corporate economics.
Corporate PR pushed the narratives to be fair, it was an early attempt to confuse or distract the clear end of the American dream for young Americans. Your college degree is worthless and your enormous loans are non-discharageable even in bankruptcy, and you need 10 years at median gross salary to buy a home. Meanwhile, salaries are now aggressively managed down or to a “market average” under the guide of equity but more to control paying for the value of work. The trap was laid and 30 years or so of Americans were slaughtered in it’s teeth.
It’s also a question of finding and keeping a job in the first place. I have a four year degree and I am completely unable to find anything whatsoever minus some work I’ve done in the past that didn’t last long. It has been narrowed down to my disability of ASD according to my mental health professionals. I hate this economy.
Seriously, this article is 20 years old.
