Michael D says:

A lot of people — not just gen Z — don't understand how interest works.

Common Sense says:

They learned from their parents and watching the fiscal responsibility of their failed government

GetTheFOutOfMyWay says:

I'm "thankfully" a Gen X, but uh… This country's government should maybe also work on not only their debt, but their habits instead of politics… It's not just Gen Z's or even Millennials fault…

Cletus Jones says:

It’s not just Gen Z

B says:

They vote to be poor

Dagan Pitts says:

Maybe dont glorify debt as a solution? Couldnt get “RAISE YOUR CREDIT SCORE and WHAT COLLEGE ARE YOU GOING TO/WHAT ARE YOU MAJORING IN????” for the longest time. Its a culture problem.

mythtapler says:

This messaging is insidious and erosive. The news anchor literally just ridiculed and dismissed previous generations who paid their own way…

Teresa Ellis says:

Let's not dish on Gen Z..our government is borrowing 72 grand a second

k says:

Gen z's troubling relationship with consumption and chasing status symbols….. rappers are not role models

StalinTheMan0fSteel says:

"I did that!" -Joe Biden

Xmen says:

All they want to become Social Media influencers. Go and get a real job.
Look at how much money they have sent to Ukraine. Who will pay for it? The American taxpayers. Nothing is free.

Isopowered says:

Sounds like they did not learn math in the Public schools.

Chris Chase says:

didn’t they vote for this.

World needs Peace says:

Going to college now is like buying a freakin' house ????

Randy O says:

Bidenomics did that.

David Henning says:

Given that so many people today want "free" money from the government, it's not surprising that many people don't know how to manage their debt and credit.

Elizabeth Schmeichel says:

Would love to better understand why it’s highly recommended to not use retirement funds/401k?

Nightzero66 says:

Off topic why do we have generations names for?

JustBRett69 says:

Doesn’t seem to bother our government.

posthocprior says:

Specifics would have helped the argument. What is the per capita debt of Gen Z? And how does this compare to what older generations had at the same age intervals?

Mando says:

You mean GEN Z having to afford a life with underpaid jobs.
