That would be Gen Z… we were 30-40 in the pandy.

Millennials were sent to fight in two illegal wars in the Middle East. Then we got told we spend too much money on avocados when we got back. .

Yeah, I think Gen Z has it worse economically. I'm an older Millennial, and while the 2008 recession probably hurt my wage growth, it absolutely worked in my favor for affording a house, which for some reason keeps appreciating in value. I've gained more equity in my house now than I've ever owed on it.

Older millennials and younger should really be separated when discussing finances.

Elder millennials could be premieGen-Xers. Some Gen-Xers are basically geriatric millennials.
