What Happens When a Whole Generation Never Grows Up

from The Higher Standard

🎧 What happens when a whole generation hits pause on adulthood? Chris and Saied are here to unpack the Wall Street Journal’s claim that millennials and Gen Z are stuck in “arrested development.” Spoiler: it’s not TikTok’s fault—try student loans, absurd housing costs, and a financial system that makes The Hunger Games look like a utopia.➡️ From child-free lifestyles to 38-year-old first-time homebuyers, the guys tackle the systemic issues behind these trends with their trademark mix of wit and wisdom. Plus, a little shade for everyone’s favorite buzzwords (“soft maxing,” anyone?) and a hilarious tale of Chris’s recent tech splurge. If adulting feels impossible, don’t worry—you’re not alone. 🏡📉💸💥 Have you left your "honest ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️" review? 👕 THS MERCH: http://www.thspod.com🧊 Get 12% off any purchase at Ice Barrel (Excludes chillers)🔗 Resources:What Happens When a Whole Generation Never Grows Up?
