69% Informative
Freddie Smith , 36 , of Orlando , Florida , recently went viral on TikTok for a video in which he challenged the boomer argument with statistics from the Bureau of Labor , Federal Reserve , and the U.S. Census Bureau .
Smith believes that the older generations misunderstand millennial finances because their concept of luxury is based on 1980s economics.
For a person in the '80s to own three TVs, a CD player, a cellphone, a microwave, and a computer, it would cost them 3.5 years of rent or a 20% downpayment on the average home.
