When you think there's no future, there's no need to plan for one.
Gen Z knows that they're gonna have bigger problems than debt.
What else are you going to do? Save for a house who's price rises faster than you can earn money?
And meanwhile your bank or brokerage gets to play with that money for a real investment return
And the wage earner's taxes will be used to bail them out when they make a bad bet
Yeeeup. Socialism for me, austerity for thee
One big recent consequence is it destroys credit short term, like less than a decade.
It's recoverable, but every one counts as a new line of credit, which automatically gets closed about a year after payment.
So unless you also have a lot of zombie credit cards, it's going to keep debt utilization waaaay up, number of accounts waaat up, and keep average age of accounts low.
This snowballs, especially if they ever do but a house. If they day ever comes, they're going to lose alot of money again.
It's like experiencing turbulence on a place so you scream YOLO and start playing Russian roulette.
If the plane goes down, it doesn't matter. If it's normal no big turbulence, then it's just as much an increase in risk as playing on land.
They assume they'll have bigger problems, and they may be right. But it's should still be concerning.
We got a while before kids are unironically bumping this tho

They know this will never happen. They're not buying houses. They're renting until they die on an overheated planet that no one wants to do anything about. Where one party rolls coal and the other pretends that the inflation reduction act makes up for the harm caused by the record oil production they brag about.
They know they're fucked, and there's no reason not to take on as much debt that they can't pay back as possible.
(since no one can afford a house even with perfect credit)
