Young Generations Are Now POORER Than Their Parents

We’ve all felt it—no matter how much you earn, it never seems to be enough. Gen Z is living in a world of endless opportunities and higher salaries, but also constant pressure to keep up. And somehow, despite earning more than ever before, many are finding themselves in financial trouble.
Why is this happening?

Think about it: social media shows us a life we can’t resist wanting, ads push us to spend on things we don’t need, and with UPI and BNPL, spending money feels effortless—almost too easy. Add to this the rising cost of living in cities, and saving becomes nearly impossible.

This video isn’t just about stats; it’s about the reality we’re all living. If you’ve ever wondered why it’s so hard to hold onto your money, this story might hit close to home. Let’s explore what’s really going on.

7/10 iphones on EMIs is a strong indicator of something is seriously wrong

12 young people between 23 and 27 across 6 cities? That’s a really poor sample size. Not to mention this won’t result in understanding any sort of inference.

I am a desi in US . Paid off my first home in 6 years and purchased another home. Net worth around $2.2 million usd
We never spend eating out and drive the same old cars.
Not caring what others think of you is a superpower

[jobhi]

I was in right direction.
I saved like 30% of my salary in mutual fund and got like 48% returns .
But then wedding season came, and my savings went from superhero to zero-hero 😂

Remember this channel is also an advertisement that wants us to save money so that we can invest in markets via Zerodha 🙏

GenZ be like
1. iPhone kharid lete hai
2. High end dresses kharid lete hai
3. Relationship me aaye to high end restaurants/ CCD me jaate hai, starbucks me jaate hai
4. Wedding me pre wedding, events kar lete hai....



Boom! Salary ka paisa EMI me bye bye ho raha hai!😅

Maximum brilliant students ko bhi nehi pata assets aur luxury items me difference kya hota hai!😢
School level se hi awareness create karna chahiye. Money management is very important!

Thanks for this content—nobody really talks about this. Somehow, we all get lowkey tricked into buying more.

[rounakUWU]

Personal Finance & Financial discipline should be a mandatory subject in today's education system🙏thank you for such valuable content

[roronoazorro]

How can someone buy something instantly without even thinking about whether they need it or not? Even before buying a Rs.300 mobile cover I ask myself whether I need a new case or not.

[faihan]

0:12 wow! A grand total of twelve people. Such a large pool of people to reliably conclude gen Z is poor.

I think people need to understand that instagram and scrollable media is not really bringing any value to our lives and we are just wasting a significant amount of our time which we don't have in abundance. I'm 23 now and i don't believe that 2025 is coming soon and i used to write 2013 as a date on my homework. Those days were so good without phones

The sad part is, this video won't get the views and appreciation it deserves, because people don't want to admit to their mistakes especially when it comes to financial decisions.

This video reminds me of a very famous quote from a movie -

"We buy things we don't need, to impress people we don't like, with the money we don't have".

Zero1 trying to educate me more than my Btech Degree ever did. Kudos!

I heard stories from my dadi ma how she restarted her life after India’s partition. At that time, she started her life all over with 8 kids.
What I learned
1. You don’t need as much is advertise on media
2. All you need to cover body : few clothes.
3. Do not need to shop every year for objects and clothes
4. Save money
5. Live with in your chadar
6. Grass is always greener on the other side, so do what you have to do for your life
7. My dadi Ma’s favorite line, kisi da karza nayi dena asi”
