Something interesting;

France Gen Z unemployment rate: 7%

Belgium: 15%

Canada: 20%

Colombia: 27%

Spain: over 30%

By all means, statistics straight up say that people around that age are rejecting work entirely. How is this done?

Apartments with 8 or so people squeezed in. Vans/mobile. Living with parents, sure. Especially vans, though. A lot of people I went to high school with saved up for an RV or trailer-esque system. All though, the area was poor as shit.

Is this sustainable? No. But it's cheaper than attempting to pay over a thousand dollars a month. Some are straight up trapped at home; even when working a trade some areas have such ridiculous rent that people are rejecting it entirely because they couldn't afford car insurance (incredible rates for Gen Z) on top of having to pay bills and food. No wonder electric bikes have seen a surge in popularity; not only for younger people.

How do you think this will play out in the future?

I refuse the question. I don't think about hwo they will handle it. If I have a kid here it will be by accident and I'll start freaking out about everything that makes the cost of living here so godawful

That's perfectly fine. It's a hypothetical though, not a commitment. I don't plan to have a child until I'm comfortable enough to give them a decent standard of life.

Knowing the future, that might not be possible and I accept that too.

oh yeah, I know I just mean I avoid even thinking about the hypothetical. I know it can't work for most people to simply leave the US.
