The Struggles of Gen Z

I couldn't help notice all the videos talking about the struggles of gen z as they are coming of age. To be honest, I was surprised at the realization that they are coming of age. So many of them are moving out on their own, and discovering a world that is far more difficult than they expected. Some, upon reaching their limits, have turned to the internet in search of sympathy, or to see if they are really all alone in their struggles. In many cases they have instead received enormous backlash from older generations saying they just need to toughen up, get married, get another job, or quit being safe space cry babies. I am here to tell you that this harsh judgement is unfair, and zoomers are in fact facing challenges that have not been faced by any generation since the great depression. Life really is harder, and I am sure you will agree if you take a step back and consider the situation when you came of age. For my part I can recall getting my first car with no credit history and no down payment, simply walking onto the lot and choosing a jeep. I even did the same with a second car, a GTI VR6 Mk IV. I also had the experience at that time of telling the bank about a small raise at work ( pay went up to $12.75 per hour) and getting a credit line of $15,000 without even asking for it. My coworker making the same pay as me managed to get a mortgage on a second brand new two story home. Clearly its not like that anymore. Gen Z is facing massive inflation, a terrible economy, and massive competition from illegal immigrants who are willing to take lower pay. The struggle is real, and we all need to open our eyes and recognize the problems so we can get them solved.
