Just like they’re “choosing” not to own houses either I guess
If you work hard and save up, you could live in a nice van down by the river!
Car and a home all in one? What a bargain!
The unit of measure in this article is whether or not they have a driver’s licence, not a car…I’m pretty sure even gen Zers can afford a driver’s license, if they actually wanted it. Not having a driver’s licence is very much a choice, to a much higher degree than owner a car (or house)
In places like Finland it costs over a thousand euros to get your driver’s license. That’s less than a car obviously but not nothing either
Yeah it costs around 2k Euros where I live, which is enough to also buy a small beater…but this article is US-focused only, and it’s significantly cheaper to get a licence in the US, hence my comment.
That still sounds on the cheap side for Europe, in some countries you’ll easily have spent north of 2k€ on all the mandatory lessons and exams, or even more if you’re a slow learner or fail the tests a few times.
It costs about 400K to 500K where I live to buy a house that used to be around 150K 30 years ago. Times are fucked
