Gen Z is only doing the logical thing.
If your expenses to survive are $6,500/month while most are lucky to even earn $3,000/month.
Young people are forced to work two part-time/full-time jobs just to survive, reverting back to industrial era workdays but when employers aren’t hiring, and don’t offer flexible schedules it really screws over workers, so what do they do, Gen Z borrows because of 1 of 2 things.
1. The financial system collapses under the weight of unpayable loans.
2. Gen Z gets things for free at a cheaper rate until they earn enough later on as their career develops (hypothetically), and pays back their loans with their newer higher income.
Debt is the only logical move for most Gen Z people which ultimately destroys their livelihoods in the long term.
The money is broken.
