69% of Gen Z respondents told Goldman Sachs they find it difficult to focus at work because they worry about debt or household costs, as did 67% of millennials.

    I mean, considering the retirement plan (US) intrinsically depends on future generations buying into it at a higher cost, it’s been a thinly-veiled scam since the jump. 😶
