MILLENNIALS TO GEN Z: WELCOME TO THE AI RECESSION - LOWER YOUR EXPECTATIONS When a Gen Z Redditor asked Millennials how they survived the 2008 crash, the answers came fast, and bleak. Think debt, ramen, and giving up on dreams. From grad school escape plans to moving back in with mom, Millennials shared their Great Recession survival guide: delay life, downsize your future, and disappear from the job market entirely. Some fled the country. Others fought 40-year-olds for entry-level jobs. A few hit rock bottom, flirting with homelessness, food banks, and illegal gigs, all while watching their mental health go through a blender. And the twist? Gen Z might have it worse. Because back then, at least robots weren’t gunning for your job. Now? AI is coming for entry-level white-collar work, the exact kind Gen Z was told to go to college for. Neat. The Millennial mantra applies: “Surviving, not thriving.” And if you're Gen Z, take notes: build your tribe, take any job, and ditch the five-year plan. You're not climbing a ladder, you're dodging falling debris. Source: Benzinga
