The Struggle of Affording a Home on a Six-Figure Income: How Gen Z and Millennials are Coping.

A TikTok video by a young man, who claims to make $120K/year with his wife, has gone viral as he describes the uphill battle they face in affording a home. The man questions whether it has always been necessary to be a doctor, lawyer, architect, or engineer to afford a livable house. The video has sparked a discussion on the "quiet quitting" trend among younger generations who are fighting back against being paid the bare minimum and not being able to afford the bare minimum. The solution is to build more affordable homes with fewer regulatory barriers and for employers to offer better work-life balance and higher pay.
