      But adjust cost of living . Wage timing .
      House price etc . Overally Gen Z has less Pay: Living ratio .
      Like Baby Boomer or old people could buy a house under 10 years of savings . But now Gen Z has like 20-30 years of savings but still have a small house .
      So They make more money but also spend more and are left with less savings (also Extra spending is more common now due to low financial intelligence, FOMO etc.)

      You think previous generations were buying decent houses when they are 20?
      Yeah, no, that wasn't happening, not unless you were buying from a family member or you got really REALLY lucky.
      Most people transitioned through apartments when they moved out of their parents' house, just like people do now. They usually didn't even think of buying a house until after they were married (i.e. had 2 incomes) and could save up enough money for a down payment, just like people are doing now.
      Yes, it was overall easier to buy a home pre-pandemic but you're way off on your timelines.
      I, personally, didn't buy my first home until I was in my 30's and it was a pretty small home.

And there’s an over saturation of jobs meaning new graduates have difficulty finding work.

      This also may or may not take into account projections of job opportunities going further beyond this age range. Yes at this age they be paid more but due to the stagnation of the job market in response to market forces people may not be able to build wealth beyond this point. This video means well but it sets a bad precedent for ignoring projection based analysis.

      First jobs out of university don’t tend to be. Tbh.
      But one of the biggest differences that I’ve noticed in the job market, is that even jobs that were classified as “unskilled labour” now have a plethora of job requirements and qualifications that employers do not want to teach to new employees
. These are still minimum wage jobs but they require qualifications so that’s technically not “unskilled labour” anymore.
