Because in their day, working like a dog got you a car, a big house, and enough money to keep your family happy, with only one parent working. That isn't a reality for 99% of us any longer.
The boomers who spent the 80s drunk driving to $5 steak dinners, buying houses on factory wages, and retiring at 60 with a pension now want to tell me I'm bad with money. They lived like rock stars on a forklift salary and called it discipline. I live like a monk on a corporate salary and still can't afford what they had at 28. Their advice didn't age well, and neither did the economy it was built for.
This is a crisis. Young people are struggling to get jobs and when they do, they struggle to be able to afford their own place. The goal of every generation is to leave it better than you found it and we’re not doing that.
We need a new generation of leadership that listens to everyday hard working Americans and not Washington. Whoever wins GenZ will win America

Watch the sweat on Pete Hegseth’s brow as Jon Ossoff takes him apart without ever raising his voice.
Now imagine Ossoff on a presidential debate stage.
Then imagine him in the Oval Office, looking Putin or Xi in the eye and pressing them with that same composure.
When considering all things, Gen Z may become the next “lost generation.”
The last one came of age around WW1 and lived through the Depression and WW2. Their lives were marked by hardship, turmoil, and instability.
Unfortunately, history may be repeating itself. Gen Z was born into a system on the verge of failure and will likely witness the collapse of the very system we were promised to benefit from.
We don’t need to wait for war, economic collapse, or some other crisis to see where this is headed.
The signs aren't just external events, but the gradual erosion of basic life milestones. Marriage, family formation, economic mobility, homeownership, and community have all been in steady decline for decades.
However, another generation also came of age during hardship. We either rise to become the next “greatest generation” or descend into another lost one.

The privilege Leftists keep taking about…
Told my son it’s time to buy his own house
We even went and looked at properties together
Turns out he doesn’t have enough credit history to get a loan without a co-signer
So he asks me if I’ll consign
Of course I did what any loving father would
Told him hell no and reminded him I didn’t have a co-signer
Kids today need to learn to use their bootstraps
