Same shit millennials dealt/deal with.

I would argue Z is bearing the brunt of the housing crisis even if just slightly more than the millenials.

Some who took the chance on the low mortgage rates got an affordable (ish) house during Covid. Others (me) were worried about losing their job and waited till now, and are currently fucked.

It's the same for both. The housing crisis started when older millennials were entering adulthood.

Yeah it's just that a lot of melenials bought before COVID and they weren't as impacted by the insane rental market.

Am millenial and I agree. I mean, life generally sucks anyways, but it just adds another level of sucking if you have the cards stacked against you
