I am 14 now which obviously makes me a member of gen z and this article really interested me. I am always trying to do as much research as I can about whatever I can because I don’t want to fall behind. So many young teenagers these days know things about topics my parents have never even heard.
Also, I am really money conscious at the moment. I have about 1000 goals (literally) and I don’t want to miss out on accomplishing any of them so I figure learning as much as I can now will help me achieve. I plan too much and don’t achieve enough

Unless Gen Z ‘s are born into existing wealth (ie. rich parents) I see they will have long periods of either under-employment or unemployment, much free time, and have to be content with smaller living spaces as well as fewer material belongings than other generations. This is due to deflation and hyperinflation coupled with the unemployment, long term. Maybe this generation will learn to manage their own days on their own terms and step outside of what is currently status quo upheld by baby boomers (ie. education, job, good housing, retire, die) The parameters around Gen Z are so utterly different than other generations and the most frightening thing is they are born into a world already populated by over 7 billion humans. For sure, their path will be perhaps smaller but deeper on a personal level (of how they think). Those born in the 1920’s had the better conditions on earth with greater life-long opportunities due to fewer humans in general. Capitalism works best when the numbers are lower because humans don’t like to share or help one another after crowding begins. I say to Gen Z ‘good luck’ and ‘courage’ — you’ll need it !

I think that’s interesting that you don’t see your generation as confident with high self esteem – I think that’s certainly the appearance Gen Y gives – fascinating to think you are all embracing the “fake it til you make it” mantra – you do it well!

I can’t really foresee the future for our kids’ generation because so much has happened in the last twenty years and will happen in the next twenty. But the changes are mainly technological and scientific and social. I just think people will always be people, our needs don’t really change we just find different ways of meeting those needs and connecting with other people. We still want to connect, to love and be loved, to find our own form of happiness. To be with our “tribe”, whether that’s family or friends or a combination of both.

I don’t actually know anybody old enough to hold a conversation in Generation Z yet. However, I’m really intrigued by two of the words that come along with generation Y, which happens to be where I fall. I don’t necessarily know that I would agree with the high self-esteem/confident, I think a lot of the time we’re rolling with a “fake it til you make it” attitude and just hoping that things get better for us soon.
