Can you stop by me in 2012 when I bought up a bunch of Bitcoin and tell me not to waste it, hold onto it for a few years because it will make me a millionaire? Thx
Buy shitty small rural house built nearly 200 years ago
Spend any and all free time & money learning the skills & buying the tools to strip it down and rebuild it. All of it is online. Do it quietly and you won’t have to pull permits. Hold yourself to a higher standard than what a permit will allow and you’ll be fine.
Continue to invest in yourself and your skills. You will become a rich person if you do this, if not in money, then knowledge. The earlier you can do this, the more value will compound off of your skillset.
It’s not fun but it’s possible for myself, born 98. Got my little slice and the sunsets and stars are sure damn pretty out in the boonies. Gotta deal with the rednecks & general small mindedness though.
If your professionnal situation lets you do this, go for it.
Problem is, for a lot of people including myself, jobs are in the city.
Moreover, here in France, by living in the countryside, you get an additionnal bonus of :
I did a PhD so I was a little late to the “real world” than other millenials. And I gotta say GenZ are in a much worse boat than millenials depending on location. In the Toronto area I’d say there’s a lucky subset of millenials who will never afford a home but have been in a rent-controlled unit for a few years. Idk how affordable having an apartment to yourself would be for gen z. To spend only 35% of your income on rent in Toronto right now for a 1 bedroom you’d need to be in the top quintile for HH income.
I think I joked previously the millenial experience was going on zillow to look at houses you’ll never afford while the genz experience is looking at apartments you’ll never afford.
Literally me rn but I’m gen z
I’m an elder millennial but you guys are in the same boat. No idea how we’re going to afford housing down the line.
Don’t worry, with the collapse of the environment, the economy won’t really matter. So, we at least have that going for us, which is nice.
I’m just very excited about all the massive asteroids that keep near missing us. Talk about exciting!
Don’t forget the volcanoes ! Especially the super massive one that is overdue for quite a long time now.
I specifically meant I’m getting my degree in physics so I can do this

I’m born same year. Currently hoping I can afford food this month.

no public transit
no hospital
no doctor
no school
no post office

The solution is to burn down all homes so nobody has a place to live. A sorta “if I can’t have THING no one will”.
In Minecraft, of course 😉
Me too and I’m Gen X.
