      The ladder was pulled out from underneath us by the generation before us. Without sheer luck, the amount of wealth that's being hoarded by these tech companies, politicians, and boomers is not attainable. We're spending our 'lavish' $50,000/yr on RENT, GROCERIES, HEALTHCARE, CAR DEPENDENCY (lack of affordable and widespread public transport in MOST MAJOR CITIES, gas prices, car insurance prices are insane, child care costs are despicable, TUITION AND PREDATORY STUDENT LOAN REPAYMENTS). Our government is spending our tax money without consulting us, the mass majority of the disappearing middle class. Our representatives are paid off by rich lobbyists for big tech, arms companies, and banks. It was never for us; it is for them. That's why they're hoarding farmland and first time homes. It's hard to watch without feeling sick.

I have a 770 credit score as well as an Associate’s Degree that I earned without racking up any student loans/debt.

      If you use debt wisely it can be a powerful tool to increase your wealth. Gen Z has more financial literacy than the generations before them due to increased access to knowledge. As a Gen Z myself, I do all of my purchases on credit cards and pay them off at the end of the month to maximize cashback and optimize my credit score.
      I do that because I know they're lying about the inflation data and that it's truly much higher than reported, and so when they cut rates again in the future, i'll have a good credit score so I can use leverage to purchase assets, and i'll have real assets that don't get devalued while the amount of money i have to pay back is either minimal in real terms, or possibly even LESS than what i borrowed in real terms.

    I get why they think they have to carry over credit card debt each month. One time I paid them off completely, and whatever I charged each month I continued to pay off. So, the credit bureau just thought I stopped charging period, and my score dropped. Technically the credit cards knew I was still using them, but it seemed that if the bureau couldn't report a charge and then a pay off the next month it just assumed I wasn't using them and lowered my score. 🙅‍♀
