If the average US house is $450,000 then 20% down is $90,000
OR
3214.29 $28 lunches.
At 5 lunches a week that’s 642.86 weeks.
That’s 12.36 years.
In the last 12 years, housing has inflated ~90%.
So, logically, when you reach your $90,000 goal, you’ll be ~$80,000 short of the inflated down payment of that era.
Have fun giving up lunches for that down payment gen Z!!
Have
Fun

@agoristoperator OK. I unfollowed. Now it's mute for you.
You took this so personally, and you're being a dick to me.
There. You lost a guy who was favorably disposed to you. Good job.

Gen Z, 26.
Haven't bought a nice shiny thing in 7 years.
Meal plan for savings. Don't eat out. Minimalist lifestyle.
Never had any debt, do not plan on gaining any.
I will have to move to Paraguay to have a reasonable future even while saving like a freak.
I hear this 24/7.

He's right. It doesn't matter if you dislike him, he is right. What that means is not subjective, it's objective. He's telling the truth that is verifiable in the real world. And it does, absolutely, make Gen Z furious.

@ShieldsClips @agoristoperator Your fruity little fantasy would require effort, so it’s never going to happen, Nancy.

@TheRedPillHQ ⚠️For the newbies and people suffering from cognitive dissonance. You can't fake the ears. That's the number one tell-tale sign. No one has surgery to have their ears stick out more. This is not the same man.

Saving $26 per day on lunch alone? That’s $780 per month. That absolutely could be the difference between affording a starter home or not.

You must expertly study yourself and become a master of metacognition. If you don't understand the way you think, why you do what you do, and how to override your innate reactions to new stimuli and information, you will always be driven by your lower senses.
To finally take hold of life requires a grasp of "self"
Jung wrote: “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”
But the saints took this further...
St. Anthony the Great writes: "One who knows oneself, knows God; and one who knows God is worthy to worship Him as is right."
St. Augustine of Hippo writes (in prayer): "Grant, Lord, that I may know myself that I may know thee."
St. Bernard of Clairvaux writes: "True wisdom consists in two things: Knowing God and knowing yourself."
God is the One who not only gives us life, but's also the sustaining foundation of our free will & reason
When you do come to know yourself, God becomes increasingly self evident -- through your flaws and your gifts, shine His graces

Gen Z is right about the job hunt—it really is worse than it was for millennials, with nearly 60% of fresh-faced grads frozen out of the workforce | Emma Burleigh, Fortune
Gen Z is slammed for complaining about how tough it is to work five days in-office, or even get a job in the first place—but their suspicions may be true. Research has confirmed, their older millennial critics had a far easier time locking down a gig to begin with.
About 58% of students who graduated between 2024 and 2025 were still looking for their first job, according to a report from Kickresume last May.
Meanwhile, just 25% of graduates in previous years—such as their millennial and Gen X predecessors—struggled to land work after college.
It may be tempting to think Gen Z just isn’t as hungry for work as previous generations, like Whoopi Goldberg and Judge Judy espouse. However, the study suggests previous generations really could walk straight into a job much more easily than young people today.
In fact, nearly 40% of previous graduates managed to secure full-time work in time for their graduation ceremony—but just 12% of 2024/2025 Gen Z grads could say the same, making those young job hunters three times less likely to have something lined up out of school.
“The journey from classroom to career has never been straightforward,” the researchers wrote. “But it’s clear that today’s graduates are entering a job market that’s more uncertain, more digital, and arguably more demanding than ever.”
Today’s young job-seekers are up against AI agents and a tightening white-collar job market—to the point where they’re handing in donuts and waitressing to try and jump-start their careers in unconventional ways.
Today’s tough job market driving 4 million Gen Z into NEET status
It’s no secret that landing a job in today’s labor market requires more than a fine-tuned résumé and cover letter. Employers are putting new hires through bizarre lunch tests and personality quizzes to even consider them for a role.
It’s undeniably a tough job market for many white-collar workers—about 20% of job-seekers have been searching for work for at least 10 to 12 months, and around 40% of unemployed people said they didn’t land a single job interview in 2024. It’s become so bad that hunting for a role has become a nine-to-five gig for many, as the strategy has become a numbers game—with young professionals sending in as many as 1,700 applicants to no avail. And with the advent of AI, the hiring process has become an all-out tech battle between managers and applicants.
Part of this issue may stem from technology whittling down the number of entry-level roles for Gen Z graduates; as chatbots and AI agents take over junior staffers’ mundane job tasks, companies need fewer staffers to meet their goals.
Skyrocketing tuition costs and a bleak white-collar job market have made Gen Z’s situation so bad that 4.3 million young people are NEETs (not in education, employment, or training). And while things look tough in America, it’s become an international issue, with the number of NEETs in the U.K. rising 100,000 over the 2025 alone. The age-old promise that a college degree will funnel new graduates into full-time roles has been broken.
“Universities aren’t deliberately setting students up to fail, but the system is failing to deliver on its implicit promise,” Lewis Maleh, CEO of staffing and recruitment agency Bentley Lewis, told Fortune last year.
The Kickresume researchers advised young people to just get on the career ladder as soon as possible, instead of holding out for that dream job in their field of study: “We often tell graduates not to stress too much about their first job. It’s just a starting point, not a life sentence.”
Young people are desperately chasing jobs with donuts and waitressing gigs
While baby boomers may have chased a job by walking into an office and handing over their résumés directly to a hiring manager, Gen Z are having to get crafty to gain employers’ attention.
One young Silicon Valley marketing hopeful, Lukas Yla, knew he wouldn’t get far handing over his cover letter in-person, so he hatched a plan. When he was 25, the job-seeker posed as a delivery driver, handing over boxes of donuts with a secret memo attached on the inside. The note read: “Most resumes end up in trash. Mine—in your belly,” along with his résumé and LinkedIn profile. He won over some employers, landing at least 10 interviews from the stunt.
Another Gen Z job-seeker took to waitressing at a marketing conference after failing to land a job through traditional methods for six months. Basant Shenouda couldn’t find work after graduating from a top university in Germany, so she volunteered to clean up glasses at one of the most well-known marketing and sales events in the country.
During her breaks, she’d float her CV by at least 30 to 40 people, asking for feedback, but hoping for an opportunity. Shortly thereafter, she landed a job at LinkedIn.
“When you’re a graduate, you think everyone’s going to say yes to you and things are going [to] work out. But it’s a matter of building up resilience,” Shenouda told Fortune in 2024. “You need to keep reassessing your process so that every no gets you closer to that next yes.”

@Bobbythirdway The fact that you go with another consumption good for your example rather than an investment explains a lot.

If you spend $0 on lunch everyday and starve yourself, you could be saving $7,280/year.
That’s enough money to purchase a slightly used Honda Accord in 5 years.
