The thing is, in this era, younger people or people of this age don't know the importance of securing their future. What I mean is, like houses, cars, or anything else that they could use for their future, and most importantly, financial. Nowadays, teenagers want to have luxurious smartphones or material things that are in demand; in short, they prioritise having those things that are trending so that they are not left out by the crowd.
They don't know the importance of securing their futures, as people are becoming more and more hype chasers or trend chasers. I know buying a house would be a challenge, but it's better to start building that dream than spend money on things that are not so useful or too expensive based on their functionality. For example, if you are practical, you will see that every iPhone has only a slight difference, and you are only buying the brand, not the new features of the phone.
In many cases, this is what it seems to the younger generation, they tend to spend their salaries following current trends, so there is very little chance of them being able to save their money or invest.
So if they predict into the future, it is almost certain that they will not be able to buy a house in the future if their mindset cannot be changed to be more advanced and think about the future without having to prioritize the trends that must be followed at this time.
But on the other hand, I also think that earning big money is a logical thing for the younger generation now, like investing in Crypto or other things, something that didn't exist in past generations.
So there are indeed differences in times and eras so we cannot claim or equate the previous generation and the current generation.
