My boomer uncle just said something that genuinely made me furious. “If you have a $700 car payment, don’t complain about living paycheck to paycheck. And don’t forget your $9 daily latte and $150 monthly phone bill.” This is exactly the problem. Why is this generation constantly being told to give up every little comfort just to afford a decent life? What does a morning coffee have to do with being able to afford a home, build a future, and get ahead financially? We’re dealing with a generation of people in positions of power who still don’t understand the financial reality younger Americans are living through. And somehow, we’re the ones being blamed.
