In 2026 America, the economic landscape, the adoption of new technology, and altered priorities set Millennials (born 1981-1996) dead on their feet, compared to their parents (the Baby Boom of 1946-1964), who were on a road to prosperity. With a student debt of $40K on average, meager pay, and housing that is 3 times its income, they focus on flexibility over ownership and adopt everything digital. Boomers purchase houses at age 30 with 3x income; Millennials rent stronger, work harder and prefer experiences -spending on travel increased 78% compared to material goods. Deloitte statistics indicate that recession, climate concerns, and work-from-home normalization of hybrid lives have altered 60% of people lives.
