I found this such an interesting article. Gen Z is a pioneer generation, imv. I hope they lead us to a better society and future.

For those of you who are Gen Z, would you agree with the observations in the article?

I have not benefited from anything I'm broke and my health is poor

I am sorry to know that. Not everyone in any generation is going to think the same nor fare according to general statistics for that generation.

If you would like to do a post on the situation of people who you know are facing similar conditions, it might help everyone understand more.

Materially I am doing ok but I am well aware that there are, for example, other women of my age (70s) and younger who are more or less homeless or in insecure housing. As we get older our vulnerability becomes more evident each day and I am annoyed that people think that all Boomers are rolling in $$$. It is true, though, that housing was more accessible for our generation overall but greed and speculation meant that there were those amongst us who played only for themselves and not the community and consecutive govts made this worse.
