Gen Zers spend too much time on social media They have no concept of reality When they reach their 30s most of them will feel like failures

Funny, the county in Washington State that is listed in the graphic (2:09 in video) as paying more in child care than for rent has a population of 4765 and a median rent under $700 a month Of course child care is more than rent there--minimum wage in Washington is $1666 an hour (and at that wage even, rent is just around one week gross full-tim income for one person) And with that population, only 9 (like 428 kids) are under the age of 10, so likely 200 of these are not in school Pretty manipulative use of statistics here

Honestly our government has no idea how people are suffering these days I much feel sorry for the disabled people who don’t get the help they deserve

Yeahinflation has increased everythingbut the cost of child care has been going up for many many years This trend was happening long before Covid It's called capitalism Charge what the market can pay

I told my buddy I quit my job He couldn't fathom why I would give up something so high paying brThere are a lot more important things in life than money

A wise individual understands that accumulating wealth necessitates prudent investments and informed guidance in the financial market, particularly during a stock market crash While the stock market presents opportunities for maximizing profits, successfully navigating it requires skill and expertise

Depends on how much time you have left to live

Avoid debt Enough is the magic word
Comment from : @MrTofu13

China's economy is growing tremendously as well, so I'm sure it won't take very long for them to outpace America's GDP I give it a couple of years before Americans start feeling the true pain of the oligarchs controlling the global economy
Comment from : @DerekDAngel

It's pretty sad when people can make more money as social media influencers than they can working in a skilled trades job

154 million $ in expenses imagine when deregulation actually hits brno regulation leads to corporate fraud brand the consumer bites the bullet on purchasebrand tax paying bite the bullet on bailoutsbrbrand since nothing gets regulated, no jail time for the criminals
Comment from : @Andre-qo5ek

how did we get to childcare being more than debt? brthat's easy the "party of family values" doesn't care about kids or families
Comment from : @Andre-qo5ek

Not about how much need to be successful, key is potential over grow money , let it work and let it grow over time , same concept than pension saving just shorter time and landing cash flow I know hard but possible
Comment from : @korncsaba

Financial success is not about how much you make It is about how much you keep and invest
Comment from : @Maxrotor1

Clearly Gen Zs opinion is based exclusively on social media brCrazy to think the average American doesn't think being top 10 earner in the whole world is successful The definition of success has changed from being above average (at least top 1/3) to being in the top 1

Learning to live without money!brbrThat's financial success
Comment from : @stanleykachuik2589

So sad that now average Americans can not afford the American lifestyle - having a house, two cars, kids and only one working full time person in their family ((( looks like American dream is dying because of low salaries and high cost of housing…brIt’s interesting that no one in government of the richest country in the world can not or want not to fix it

Why ask any questions when we know what the default answer is going to be, “the pandemic “
Comment from : @Tylaw2006

“Financially successful” does not need to be linked to income

Comment from : @tomasgalvan1239

$588k a year? Gen Z is delusional Stop believing what you see on Instagram posts That's not reality Financial literary and living below your means is key And not having kids will save you big $$$

Comment from : @aliciagordon1461

Yeah dude As someone who nearly hit a seven figure salary at the age of 26, I’ll tell you right now that I’ve never had $270k off one source of income The most I ever hit off a single source of income was $200k You need financial literacy, not a high W2 income

I've made six figures off and on for the last four years but, this is getting out of hand People saying that 600K is "successful" is absurd Especially when those people are 25-35 STILL LIVING WITH THEIR PARENTS Literally grow up already & stop moving the goal posts

Gen Z is creating their own hell on earth by not wanting to work and just whine about everything little thing…want to be destitute, fine, be destitute Just don’t cry when the robots come and take more of the easy jobs Good luck
Comment from : @thehonesttruth8808

Child care is expensive for no reasonbrThey don’t require tons of schooling and they barely pay employees
Comment from : @terranceali9787

Dont let these TV thugs tell you its not attainable Anything you set your mind too with hard work and dedication is certainly attainable therefore 270k and more is attainable grt focused go get it, and never listen to people like this tell you that you can't 💪

How does one define financial success?
Comment from : @raymondkizer1216

Gen Z thinks $588K makes you financially successful double what others believe! Inflation, childcare costs, and wages make it tough 💰 brbr🇺🇸 i'Top 10' American Podcasts: Tales That Bind, Expand Your Mind!/i 🎙

USA needs universal childcare & pre-K
Comment from : @JConlon96

Those in the Gen Z need to watch less TikTok and more real statistics
Comment from : @Baiyoubai

Depends How do you spend what you make? Many of us live above our means trying to keep up with others Did you go to college? At least in the past, that those with college degree make more money Did you stay home after 18 to save or did you just jump or were pushed out of the nest Do you have a child? There is a huge cost Have more than one? Even more money brbrGod has blessed me or someone has been praying for since before I was born Also what are we defining as successful? Do I need to have a huge home? Nope Or move from the current one which I got at a lower rate just because it's small? Nope Use credit cards left and right or just save the money to pay in fullbrbrChoices are involved with some of this
Comment from : @ninastone9054

270k a year after taxes is about 140k That leaves about 12k a month Subtract 7k mortgage and 1k car payment 4k a month credit card bill You save nothing
Comment from : @okhondaguy3288

The idea of investing a significant sum of money may be both thrilling and intimidating There is potential for considerable wealth increase with the correct strategy How can one take advantage of compound interest and potentially grow your retirement savings to about $1M over time?
Comment from : @Billy-78-d2h

Too much is not enough
Comment from : @tdolz

It’s less about income and more about expenses People wildy overspend and don’t save for retirement
Comment from : @tross549

This is why Americans are freaking out because random influencers, journalists, and the media keep telling people how much money they need to be financially well off or happy The actual number varies based on hundreds of variables like location, living situation, lifestyle, etc etc I don’t listen to any of this and have never been happier In fact, I’m more financially stable now

Gen Z'ers Okay CBS

So they want to wreck the Mexican economy with tariffs while kicking Mexicans out of our country Fewer Mexicans are coming to the US because their economy has been improving supplying cheaper goods to the US This course of action will worsen illegal immigration And that orange guy thinks he’s a stable genius
