“At Gen Z’s age, older people worked 40 hours a week, and made enough money to buy a house and have barbecues on the weekend,” says Corey Seemiller, an educator, researcher and TEDx speaker on Gen Z. “Gen Z works 50 hours a week at their jobs, and another 20 hours a week side hustling, yet still make barely enough to cover rent.”

Not sure how they wrote a whole article that basically just says this same idea they quoted at the beginning with a lot more words. Gen Z's money troubles are very easy to comprehend lol
