The fact you equate that experience as being anything close to what Gen Z is experiencing kinda proves the point of the post.

Unless you went to the most expensive school possible, it would have cost you a couple hundred hours of work to afford your education. When you graduated, you were most likely able to afford to either buy a home, or live on your own using your income alone, right out of college, if not shortly afterwards.

All of those experiences are not possible for the vast majority of Gen Z individuals. For Gen Z to pay for four years of college they would have to work over 15,000 hours over 4 years. That's about 73 hours a week at the average pay rate in the US. There is nowhere an average income can afford someone to live alone. Homes your generation got for 20 to 50k are now in the 500K+ range.

So yea, I 100% agree that boomers will never understand.

Just as you'll never understand Boomers I guess. None of those things you stated are true of my case. I could not afford a home until I was 42 and I did it with a partners help.
