I have not owned a car in over a decade. I sometimes think about the convenience of owning one, but the environmental impact and expense always turns me off. And this news certainly won't help. In December, the average cost of a car sold in the US was $49,507. ALMOST $50,000?!? Did I somehow miss that cars can fly now or something?

I enjoy data that busts common myths about a traditional demographic segment. Gen Z bought more homes than Millenials. And social media - not #banks or #PFM or #challengerbanks or #fintech - may be helping them do that.

"The increased focus on social media by each successive generation may have been another factor for Gabriel.

"I watched a lot of YouTube videos by other people my age about how they were able to buy their homes at 21 and 22," she said. "It really pushed me."

Gen Z is buying up homes. They got lucky, and millennials got screwed.

More Gen Zers are achieving the dream of homeownership, which was largely out of reach for millennials foiled by economic downturns at pivotal points.
