point is they are clearly aren’t suffering financially, just a common misconception. Most young people either live at home with parents or flatshare with other people, so they have more disposable income to spend on stuff

They can't fucking afford to have their own place and you're flipping it as if living with your parents or 4 other flatmates is so much better than being able to rent your own apartment!

You know, I think homeless people are the luckiest, they spend all their day outdoors, in the sun, doing absolutely nothing and they have no worries what an amazing lifestyle don't you think?

by being priced out of buying a home they’ve already started planning for retirement by investing in a 401k plan, which is actually a better deal than buying a house especially with rates & prices so high. Sometimes the grass is greener. If they rented by themselves they definitely wouldn’t have been able to invest so much
