I see comics/memes posted about this constantly and while it is slightly true, it’s not true enough to really be funny, to me at least.

Millennials are tracking behind their parents: 62% of 40-year-olds owned their home in 2022, lower than the 69% rate for baby boomers at the same age.

62 vs 69% is a very meh difference, it’s still roughly 2 out of 3 people who’ve bought a house.

And Gen Z is actually tracking very slightly higher than Gen X:

Gen Zers are tracking ahead of their parents’ homeownership rate: 30% of 25-year olds owned their home in 2022, higher than the 27% rate for Gen Xers when they were the same age. But the Gen Zers who didn’t take advantage of the pandemic-era’s low mortgage rates could be left behind.

"Honestly things should get even worse for people just becauase its already so bad that they have to complain about it. This should happen because they complained"
