"The traditional markers of financial success—from owning a home to snagging that corner office at work—are becoming not only less attainable but also less valuable for Gen Zers.

Mental well-being, personal growth, and fulfillment are being reprioritized ahead of financial gain: 73% of Gen Z would rather have a better quality of life than extra money in the bank, and 66% are only interested in finances as a way to support their other interests in life.

Gen Zers are increasingly looking for ways to prioritize quality of life over financial achievement at all costs. The TikTok trend of "soft life"—and its financial counterpart "soft saving"—is a stark departure from their millennial predecessors' financial habits, which were rooted in toxic hustle culture and the "Girlboss" era. "


"Growing lifestyle practices like radical rest promote the importance of disconnection with traditional ideals of success and reconnecting with your own well-being by way of self-care and repose. The practice of doing nothing as resistance has taken hold among young people in China as well, through the simple act of tanping—or "lying flat." Examples of this "radical" ideology include not getting married, not having children, not buying a house or a car, and refusing to work extra hours or to hold a job at all. "

Good for them

Being broke and like it

based

Their future sounds so bleak. As a kid, I was told I could do anything, be anything. President. Astronaut. Whatever. I graduated college right when COVID hit and I’m in a great spot job wise right now. Lucky/privileged for sure. Life is only comfortable if you have money, and I personally wouldn’t have kids unless I knew I could provide the best resources to them.

But these poor kids? Holy fuk many of them are in public high schools and being brainwashed to accept LGBTQ and drag queens. I’ve seen these teachers nowadays, they are absolute clowns. The whole system is massive failure. Gen z was never promised a future like those born before mid-90s. If they work hard and go to college they know it might not count for anything. I feel that they’re also not being mentored on easily attainable career paths or trades or jobs. it’s scary.

Not "late stage capitalism". It is early stage communism.

"Late stage capitalism"

Fukkin ph@g60ts. What do these people prefer, the genocides, mass starvations, and firing lines of "early stage communism" or something? Retards.

This....just lol.

Suggesting it's on it's way out.

Mr. Noseberg on suicide watch

Must suck being a zoomer, they literally never experienced the world when it was good

Atleast most millenials had a glimpse of it before clown world took over

First 20 secs

sounds like a peaceful lifestyle....i've lived it for a long time but i did make enough money to see me through the rest of my life first.

couldn't imagine doing it broke unless you just live with your parents forever then inherent their house...in that case yeah, you can just piddle around doing random jobs once in a while for spending money.

a person living with their parents with no car and doing nothing basically exists for the costs of food every month like a pet....maybe a few bucks extra on the water bill.

small mind. this is bad for all considering this is the next generation of leaders. defeated and government dependent.

also, there is a reason for this that's out of their control entirely.

Mental well-being? Good luck with that. Most of them can’t even decide which bathroom to use without having a break down.

People are gonna laugh it off as Gen Z being weak pussies (which is true), but when a whole generation suddenly isn't motivated and gives up, clearly the incentives have changed as well. It's lazy to say a whole generation "just gave up" with no cause.

The breakdown of male-female and familial relationships being the most powerful incentive and targeted for destruction.

It literally all changed in 2012. I lived through the transition and experienced it first hand.

Boomer men are to blame

They are the biggest cucks of our lifetime

Can you elaborate?

gen z cant get pussy and have zero friends

why participate in the workforce


pussy is the biggest motivation for men. marriage and kids for women

******** started to die and new forms of social media came out making everyone obsessed about their virtual image. Tinder came out and unleashed hypergamy and fuked up the dating market. People got confused by these new paradigms and priorities began to shift.

EOD can tell you more.

Honestly.. I'm OK with the ideal

But can you imagine if a rabid culture attacked? We'd be fuked

They're Weak mentally, financially, and physically......

The most pathetic generation in history.

they didn't get taught well by their boomer parents thats for sure.

i mean, look at the boomer attitudes around here (you)

Isn't this good for incels? All they have to do is work hard and pay for some lazy, gen z sloot lifestyle in order to get laid.

preemptively preparing for the AI workforce. mirin.

My point exactly, blaming someone else, for being the weakest, most pathetic fragile generation in history.

CPD had to lower their physical standards, because 75% of 21 year olds couldn't pass the POWER test.

Something like 73% of 18-21 year olds couldn't join the military even if they wanted to.

Well what are they supposed to do, buy a 3 bedroom house made in 1960 for $1m?

College professors convinced gen Z that they were victims and hopelessly oppressed. They fell for it and now have given up on life. Shocker.

im a rich millennial so im actually not blaming anyone.

im just pointing out facts and you getting ur panties in a tangle.

what i said is 100% true as well. boomers had it much better/easier than zoomers.

Did anyone say that? These pathetic individuals don't even own a car, or pay their own cellphone bill.
