It is just tragic what is happening in our nation as the people who run (voters) the thing have no idea the basic framework of how this government operates. IMO a series of classes, Civics, Criminal Law, and basic Business Law should be required as a senior in High School. It would be a lot more useful than learning Spanish or Trig.

Not if you're going to be a carpenter.

Tossing trig, I agree. Tossing Spanish? ¡No!

An EO is not a law. Big difference.

Love to see some basic mandatory must pass classes on how to manage money and more importantly, debt.

The financialization of everything (cars, shoes) a terrible idea.

Well the couple I was referring to in my post are 29 and 27 years old. So there goes your living in Moms basement til their late 30s. I also said financially savvy. Not investors. They also lived in at the same address for the last 3 years on their mortgage app.... and paid for it. His annual gross is about $67,000 hers is $46,000.

Well, that’s about all I had to type to debunk your entire assumption/theory.

Here's another one... Millennial, no debt (scholarship and student loans for flying paid off), haven't lived at home since 17. Waited to buy a house until I could put 20% down without compromising my emergency fund or retirement. Occasional avocado toast buyer. Your hate for an entire generation is comical.
