Gen Z's Job and Money Woes: A New Kind of Crisis

Young adults from Gen Z are facing a unique challenge. They're calling it a "midlife crisis, " even though they're just in their twenties. The dream of independence has turned into a nightmare for many. Why? Money problems, job instability, and worries about the future are taking a toll. These issues are affecting their personal and professional lives. Gen Zers are missing work due to mental health struggles, and they're more likely to be depressed than older colleagues.The economy is a big factor in their stress. High living costs, uncertain wages, and a shaky economy are making it hard for them to plan for the future. It's not just money, though. Mental health and career issues are also major factors. Some are even coping by spending too much, which only makes their financial problems worse. But there's hope. Experts suggest that older generations can help by listening and providing practical financial advice.
