Generation Cooked: Baby Boomers vs Gen Z & Millennials, Replacement Level Fertility, Old Politicians, & the Depopulation Agenda

from The Awakened Podcast · host Awakened Media

In this episode, I break down why younger generations are cooked when it comes to buying homes, starting a family, and learning skills. I compare wages, housing prices, mortgage rates, and purchasing power from 1983 to today, and explain how the relationship between income and the cost of living has changed. I also talk about the housing affordability crisis, college debt, investors buying up homes, and the pressure people feel to appear successful online even when many are buried in debt. I also get into generational tensions, why younger people feel like they’re starting further behind than their parents did, and how all of this connects to declining marriage rates, falling birth rates, and the growing sense that the economic system isn’t working the way it once did.The Awakened Podcast LinksWebsite: https://www.theawakenedpodcast.comAbout: https://www.theawakenedpodcast.com/about Episodes: https://www.theawakenedpodcast.com/episodes Recommended Books: https://www.theawakenedpodcast.com/books-to-readAffiliates: https://www.theawakenedpodcast.com/affilliatesContact: https://www.theawakenedpodcast.com/contactSocial MediaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theawakenedpodcast33 Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/theawakenedpodcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheAwakenedPodPodcast PlatformsSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7sgD8qiEJORdwA7DZ0RxC4Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-awakened-podcast/id1737676305iHeart: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-awakened-podcast-187630087/Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/c41c3471-ef1a-4cdb-a3b8-268af150c4b8/the-awakened-podcastPodcast MusicIntro 1 Music licensed for use by [Awakened Media/The Awakened Podcast]. “Thriller” by HardProSound — used under license.
