Most would love to, but the rent is too high and they need a car to be able to get to their job so they can tread water. Owning a primary home as a means of "lazy wealth generation" is only accessible to people with family money or career titles like "Software Engineer" and even then the homes are much lower standard than before for older people working the same job.

And all the while companies are advertising like crazy to try and hire more heavy equipment operators (starting north of 100K). There are plenty of other jobs out there besides "dog walker" and "software engineer"

Everything you said just further supports my statement of "save your money". Buy a cheap used car (but cheap over 5+ years, so get a reliable one). Rent a cheap apartment (mine is $1100/mo and is very nice).

Boomer: No, not like that!

And, yea, I know you're Gen-X from your other post, but you're talking like a Boomer at this point.
