How do you know they were Gen Z and not Millenials?

Millennials are too old and have too much to lose now.

Our backs hurt and our knees aren't what they used to be.

I'm an old millennial and many of the millennials that I know (around 70:30 split) have started a family. Usually when you have a child your perspective starts to shift.

I’m only a few years older than a zoomer and I have nothing to lose.

Try again.

Try taking care of your family and say you have nothing to lose.

I assue you I have very little to lose.

[–] sheogorath@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

If you're the backbone of your family there's suddenly a lot of things to be lost.

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Yeah, I don't, I'm a total loser.

Only if they're in a career that got some pay rises that sorta kept up with inflation in the last couple of decades such as software development or... Finance?
