Okay but people who are young adults now have lived multiple once in a lifetime events. Multiple previous and ongoing wars since the early 2000s, a worldwide financial crisis, and worldwide pandemic with additional lifetime government borrowing debt passed on to the tax payer.
The UK is also facing the highest taxation since records began, ongoing cost of living crisis with far beyond average inflation on essential like food and the highest energy costs despite substantially lower cost over europe and not to mention out of control government spending on putting up illegal migrants in hotels with 3 meals a day while cutting pensioner heating allowance.
And on the topic of children, exorbitant childcare costs.
So I wouldn't quite go as far as 2nd 3rd or even 4th best economic stability in recent decades.
I lived through all those things and what helped me most was being close to family and community. My parents help watch my kids and I was able to get connected to a job through my church. It’s about having a support structure.
Can you name a time and place that had better material conditions than millennials and Gen Z? Excluding boomers and Gen X.
