Yes things are bad
Several posters refuse to even admit this.

But no, you individually can determine your outcome.
To an extent, yes. No one denies this.
The simple point is that it is more difficult than previous generations. Its just so weird how some can't admit such a basic thing.

I'm 30 and made less than $50k for most of my 20's, am debt free outside of my mortgage. Did not receive any outside help.
Owe roughly $100k on a 3 bd, 2 ba, 1400 sq ft house that was built in 2018, just my wife and I.
What saved me was making good decisions, staying away from car payments, and getting married a little later (27). Also, don't have any kids yet.
I think there is merit to both arguments, it is definitely harder in ways than it was for previous generations but I think there is a path for success though still, you just have to be smart and look for it.
The average kid these days isn't very intelligent, blame their parents for that.
A person can make good money these days if they're just flexible, smart, and reliable, that is an advantage to living in the current times, the workforce sucks so bad that you can standout by just doing the little things right.

the problem is generally, everyone goes to the extreme. And when questioned, "your side" (and i use that loosely because i don't' know you), generally goes to the extreme and says "THERE'S NOTHING AVAILABLE ANYWHERE" (or at least that's why i read) and then you pick up "my side" saying "WORK HARDER YOU LAZY TWATS" which isn't really what we're saying. In reality, there's so much nuance which is why several people have commented on the individual situation matters.
I would think anyone that cares and wants to buy a home shouldn't be lumped in with people that have no care to buy a home and just want to be on the government tit forever.
