GEN Z IS GETTING CRUSHED BY ESSENTIALS, THE NUMBERS DON’T LIE $LUNA2
The Bureau of Labor Statistics just dropped a chart that says it all: Gen Z isn’t being dramatic, they’re being drained. $JUV
Since the 1980s, spending on life’s non-negotiable for 16–24-year-olds has exploded. $AXL
Vehicle insurance?
Up more than 140% since the mid-2010s.
Housing?
Doubled in the same stretch.
Food?
Climbing fast.
And real wages?
Barely nudged, up maybe 20–30% in four decades.
That gap isn’t theoretical, it’s lifestyle altering.
Gen Z is delaying marriage, kids, and homeownership because rent, insurance, and groceries eat every spare dollar.
The essentials have turned into luxuries.
This isn’t a vibe shift. It’s a math problem.
Wages have flatlined while the cost of surviving has gone vertical.
Until leaders fix housing supply, insurance inflation, and wage stagnation, Gen Z will keep paying more just to live the same life their parents could afford.

Basically it means that they ignore patents and just copy expensive drugs that American taxpayer R&D paid for. $JUV
Europe, India, and China copy American medical breakthroughs without paying any of the R&D costs. Then the Europeans brag about their cheaper health care system. We are subsidizing it, thru European theft. $AXL
