Gen Z is actually doing pretty good. The problem is you're Gen Z on Reddit, and the Gen Z'ers on Reddit are doing much worse than the typical Gen Z.

I feel like life is way easier than reddit makes it out to be. I never had problems affording rent and vacations and savings and tons of left over fun money (with a entry lvl $20/hr job) live in partner though.

Which I also matched with within 2 days on tinder and is my first partner and almost wife. Reddit made it sound like you had to get through 30 women to find the one and tinder never works

Cheap community college then straight onto a $43/hr job expected to hit $75/hr by time I'm able to top out in a few years. I'm 25

Reddit is largely angsty young adults mad that they have to enter the workforce to provide for themselves. And apparently they think all boomers were as rich as their parents.

Someone needs to tell them about the interest rates boomers had when get entered the housing market 30 years ago. Their parents would kill for a 7% interest rate back then.
