FYI this post is mostly BS.

70 percent of people in the EU own homes. In the US it's 65 percent.

While it is lower among millennials, especially compared to Boomers at their age, the majority of them still own homes. While I don't have stats on Gen Z, the oldest among them is 25.

Almost all dental issues can be avoided with preventative measures. Virtually every single white collar job offers dental. Some blue collar jobs do. If your job does not offer dental, it's available on the ACA exchange for like $20/month.

Again, despite what reddit would have you believe about us all being paid poverty wages, the vast majority of Americans can afford dental.

Finally, I don't understand why reddit sees the fact that Boomers got married and had kids at like 21 on the late end a good thing. Basically everyone acknowledges marrying young is absolutely idiotic most of the time. Even more people acknowledge that having kids is a dumb idea. Boomers were forced into that. There's a huge reason a ton of Boomer Humor is about hating your spouse.

Also at this point someone with Boomer parents is in their thirties or forties. Someone with Boomer parents who came of age when the economy was amazing and houses were dirt cheap is 50+. If you can't afford dental at that age, you've fucked up big-time somewhere along the way.
