22 Posts That Will Make You Understand Why Millennials and Gen Z Think They're Bound for Inevitable Failure

Each generation has something to pass down to the newer ones. It can be something as small as new traditions or as significant as a crashing economy.

Elevated quickly, huh? Well, older generations often judge Millennials and Gen Z for not working hard enough to own a car and a house.

That's because, when it was their turn, they could work a menial job and have kids while still being able to provide for their whole family. But it's also because they were living in a different era where things weren't so bad that young people are essentially giving up on having a decent future.

With climate change, inflation, and other financial struggles, you would probably feel down in the dumps too if you were trying to survive in a world like this at an age when you should be having fun. Younger generations are often called lazy and entitled, especially with the technology they use, but they can't see past the factors that set them up for inevitable failure.

These are things that the older generation contributed to significantly, along with rigged systems that they couldn't fix without getting trampled on. The world has changed, and Millennials and Gen Z are bearing the brunt of it.

If you're part of the younger generations, then you should know that you're not the only one rethinking your life choices. Or part of the group of people who are having multiple existential crises just from seeing your grocery bill.

To the older generation, however, who finally understands why things are more complicated than back in the day, give them a little room to breathe. And maybe see how there are choices they can make as easily as you did when you were their age.
