I think we can all agree that due to:
1) National Debt
2) Healthcare fiasco
3) Skyrocketing education costs
4) Lack of appropriate and stable family upbringing (as a whole)
5) Lack of manufacturing jobs
6) Corporate power out there
7) Those that do have reputable careers and jobs are often way overworked and underpaid
Many will have no means to support mom/dad as their health deteriorates as they get older
9) Gen Y/Z - many grew up poorer where upward mobility is much tougher and the odds of getting a decent education to become valuable in the market when growing up poor or lower middle class is difficult.
Gen Y is in real trouble financially. Already, we're being called a "lost generation". I believe that a lot of this though relates to my opinion that there is a real power struggle between Gen X/Baby Boomers against Gen Y in the workplace where values are totally different and the former is controlling the politics of companies and in the country.
Other than Gen X/the Boomers finally retiring, dying and being too old to have power any more, what can Gen Y do politically and for themselves to improve their economic outlook individually and as a group?
