Gen z also gets to see the excesses and wealth of the boomer generation and how they themselves not only can't afford to buy a house but can barely afford an apartment. Wanna buy a new car? $30-40,000. Wanna buy a starter home? $350,000 in most areas of the country. Wanna go to college? $100,000+. Wanna find a job that pays a livable salary? Good luck, even after going to college.Don't get me wrong, many boomers worked hard for what they have but they also had the luxury of growing up in a time of unprecedented economic prosperity and opportunity. If I blame anyone for the mess we're in today it's baby boomers, specifically the 60s generation.

Well, that is the generation that invented college campus protesting, anti-US government sentiment, free love, and birth control (ya know - removing sexual responsibilitity and societal restrictions from the associated carnal activity).

I would argue they started us on this slippery slope.
