Some really wild stats I read in an article this morning: "Those in Gen Z (born between 1996 and 2012) and millennials (born between 1981 and 1995) “are paying nearly 100% more for their homes than baby boomers [born between 1946 and 1964] did when they were in their twenties.”

Yeah it is nearly impossible for millennials and Gen z to buy a house. And the older generation wonders why the birthing rate has declined, we can’t afford homes let alone kids

No kidding! Thought of having kids right now is insane

Because there probably double the population since the boomers bought their houses.

1996 are millennials.

Because is wrong.

Anyone have situational depression? Can’t stop beating myself up over a decision a year ago. Basically missed out on a massive amount of money. I know this seems trite and i never even cared thatt much about money before this year.

So many other good things happened to me this year - got married, got a puppy, moved etc, and yet the one thing i keep returning to is this decision as though i ruined my life. Ironically the only thing ruining my life is my outlook and yet i just can’t stop.

Curious to know how much your student loans were when you graduated from your program, how much you’ve paid off so far, and your age. If you have any varying factors too, like kids, income range, etc. Just trying to see if I’m on track or slacking in life. I am 34 yo, i graduated with 95k in student loans, i currently have 85k left and i make 85k in come. I’m also a single mom with two kids. Just praying for 100% student loans forgiveness. Wishful thinking???
