Not if in lieu of homes they invest in nothing at all. If you don't own a home you're paying rent. Rent prices have also increased dramatically so it's not like there's money going into savings.

Personally, I pay more in student loans than every one of my parents, aunts, and uncles pay on ybeir mortgage. I pay 2-3 times more in rent than their mortgage. I might be ok but only because of a high paying tech job. Those at the lower end the scale are absolutely fucked.
