They should have talked A LOT more about the housing crisis. It is the BIGGEST issue between Boomers and Gen Z

It seems like it obviously wasn't meant in good faith, and is much too pro-boomer, if it starts out with the boomer lie that young people are too entitled and wasteful. There's no evidence for this, it was always a falsehood

Millennial here. Having a car can be a necessity or a luxury. Depending on where you live and/or what type of car you get. Before I had a car, I used to mainly walk to work, and take the bus everywhere. One job was a 20-25 minute walk to work. Another job I walked about an hour and a half to get there in the early morning hours, and took the bus home. Only Sundays I got a ride to/from work. These days many Gen Zers that I come across DEPEND on a ride from other people instead of walking or taking the bus. One used to constantly ask me for rides to and from work, but refused to get up early, and there was literally a bus line to take him straight to the warehouse. smh...

The older woman is full of crap. She earnt 300 pound/year and bought a house for 76 times her annual salary (23,000 pound)? Banks wouldn't even allow that. Her claim that a car is a "choice" is also crap. Some people need a car to get to work (not everyone has access to public transport). Using uber to get to/from work is far more expensive than owning a car. Also, a phone is not just a luxury. You literally need it to survive in today's world, including getting and keeping a job.

Cars are absolutely not necessary, where you live and where you work are your choices.

​@@rzawistowski33"Where you live and work are your choice" (as if the idea that only those with pre-existing wealth should be permitted to have choice when it comes to careers and housing isn't an awful idea) BTW, typically the places with higher cost of living are the walkable areas with public transportation. Rural areas with lower cost of living have limited public transportation and typically require vehicles to access work, groceries, family members, medical care, etc. You literally cannot live anywhere in the US that is both walkable/accessible to reliable public transportation with a low cost of living. It's one or the other.

When they say they "think" their mortgage was a certain price it means she wasn't paying the mortgage.

The older woman really annoyed me. Her selfish attitude is hard to even see. It really seems like she has not got any clue about wages and prices.

In the US, unless you live in very specific areas, owning a car is a necessity.

When the bus takes 45 mins but a car would take 15 and walking would take 2.5 hrs then yeah you live in a car dependant area which borderline forces you to buy a car. That comes with possible more debt but definitely more bills makes things a lil tougher. And let's not even get started on inflation

You can move closer or get a job that's closer, those are actual options. I have 3 dozen people that take the bus to work at my job, yes it takes some over an hour. $50 for buss pass or $500 for car, you can also use that bus time to build your skills to get a higher paying job.

As an American, cars are definitely necessary in some areas. Like for example, in my town I tried to go to the grocery store and took an Uber (no buses here) and could not get one on the way back, it took an hour until I had to call a friend to come pick me up.

I think I heard the older lady talk over the girl more than I heard the girl speak all together.

Person without a car here. It is not sustainable. Taking the bus is quite literally an entire day event. Ubers are $20 one way. I have to pay friends for rides. And these are just for basic things. Groceries. Appointments etc. I’ve chosen to work from home bc I would have no way to get to and from work everyday. A car is definitely a necessity

I think she missed out on the point that the boomers only compared themselves to their peers because they didn’t have social media and couldnt look into some strangers life. Where as now we are comparing ourselves and what we have to influencers, celebrities ect because how easy it is to look at their life and what they have. With my peers we are all in the same boat of saving for a house ect just like boomers but then I can look at randomers travelling the world doing X Y Z and making me feel like a failure or I’m not doing enough and that I should be able to afford that. And that’s the difference in pressure and I think that’s where this impulse buying and wanting things comes from

I also doubt that she was on £300 a year, probably a month yes but if you look at inflation that would be £1645 now. From 1980 to no there has been a increase of 449% in inflation while minimum pay has only increased by 2.2% since 1980. So £300 is can go a lot further in 1980 than it can now

Gen Z: What did you do? Boomer: Was a waitress and bought a house? You Gen Z: Leverage Typescript, React, and a Python for a full stack development toolkit to create applications for various companies to manage their inventory crisis only to live with mum and pa.

I think it's ridiculous to assume their aren't going to be huge differences between two generations that have 50 years between them. All of those years showed massive difference in culture and technology! They don't need a car? When did you get a car mam? My boomer parents had a car by 19. They had one job, part-time, could travel and go on vacation, party, and still have money left over for rent. They bought a house by 20s. Young adults are living with the parents not all by choice and many of them need to move back in because their parents need financial help as well!

Old people don't seam to relised the cost of houses back then were only 2-3 times more than a yearly salary where now they are 13-15+ more than the yearly salary and its going up each year. And regarding jobs they could walk into jobs they wanted to and told to start the next day where as its so much harder to get a job let a alone a good job where you can earn a decent wage

In the United States if you have no car you’re basically fucked

This tho. I've had MULTIPLE job interviews where one of the first 3 questions is whether or not you have reliable transportation - and no, your feet, a bike or the bus doesn't qualify.

2:09 I don’t disagree that there is entitlement, but I disagree with her reasoning behind that it is something that we were literally handed entitlement the day. We were born on a silver platter like every other generation just different type of entitlement because that’s how the world works. New things that are becoming normal look like entitlement to people that weren’t born with it like TVs. for example, let alone a coloured TV. We expect a TV because it is something that is more affordable than it used to be and it is something that isn’t necessary, but in a way it has been made to become an essential item of someone’s life now because we were born with it in a way

Have you actually been inside curry’s lately and seen the price tag on a TV 😳

I live in America where we have basically no public transport unless you live in a highly dense City you need a car to get around unless you want to walk 5 hours to work from literally anywhere

Having a car in this generation is needed (although you can get around via public transport ) but 'baby boomers' & 'boomers' generation have built the world up so we have to travel to work in a car cause there is no local jobs most people I know have jobs which you need to travel 30 minutes + to get to work. Shops are no longer as available as they used to be so people nedd to drive to get there shopping where as back in the day lol of streets had butchers and fruit veg shops not no more. Some people need cars for children or family members who struggling with daily tasks such as walking too. I bet she drove to this interview aswell.

When average housing price was $23,000, the average household income was $10,000 per year…….. $300 per year my ass

I'm gonna assume they both live in a city but for me a car is a necessity I live in a very rural part of the US and an hr by car from where I work. There are no ubers or buses where I live so public transport is not an option I have
