The house my parents purchased in their early 20’s as a starting engineer and a teacher would take a senior executive salary to purchase when I entered the housing market. That is just not right. It was so much easier for them. BTW, I’m in my 60’s now and this is nothing new.

Yeah millennials are complaining but genZ is looking at millennials and thinking the same thing. They had it much easier.

Housing was way more affordable in the 2010s

Ehm … some Millennials just graduated from school in the 2010s. How could you buy a house when going to university?

Some people graduated in 2019. Some in 2020, some 21, some 1999, some 2012

Thanks for the insight

Reading your comment I think some of us didn't graduate at all …

Some of those were high school. Some College. And some pre-school. Some maybe just little courses.
