‘This has to stop’: This TikToker says he and his wife make $120K/year — but can only afford this 1 run-down house. Why Gen Z, millennials are using ‘quiet quitting’ to cope

It can be easy for older generations to look down on younger generations and assume they’re out of touch. But one man is defending the recent “quiet quitting” trend adopted by younger generations, and explains why “careers are dead.”

A TikToker who goes by Average Joe (@averagejoegam3) posted a viral video in which he describes the uphill housing battle he and his wife face.

“My wife and I have been together for seven years,” he states in the TikTok video, which has since received a staggering 1.5 million likes. “We really struggled for a long time. And we just now after struggling and sacrificing we got to a point where we’re no longer paycheck to paycheck.”

He goes on to describe that after saving, the pair can likely come up with $40,000 for a down payment on a house. Even after all that saving and credit build-up, he says the only home available in their budget was a tiny dilapidated shack — that looked straight out of a horror movie.

“Average Joe” then goes on to question what some older generations might recommend, like going back to go back to school or finding another trade.

“Has it always been like that?” he asks. “Did you have to be a doctor or a lawyer or an architect or an engineer to get a liveable house?”
