Younger generation has less money...fewer jobs, lower paying jobs, higher cost health insurance or no health insurance. Everything has gone up by about 400% since 09 imo from personal experience. Gasoline has relaxed a bit but was a little less than a dollar for a while, in late 08, just a ways from here.
There is the other side where professionals and so on are buying million dollar home ,right out of schools, and even RVs.
That's just what I see. Oh quite a few are figuring, to save money, on fuel and are buying expensive cross over SUVs? and xo on, on 6 and seven year loans and leases.
Doing what they have to do to survive right now but sacraficing the future. They are between a post and hard spot.
