Change Is Gonna Come...Soon

The self-proclaimed 'people's pundit' and director of BIG DATA POLL insists that young Americans are fed up with the status quo. While legacy pundits and corporate managers point to rising GDP and booming stock markets as evidence of prosperity, only 33 percent of young adults believe the American Dream is still achievable. They earn degrees and enter the workforce, only to watch home prices, rent, and inflation rise faster than they can save. Traditional milestones - buying a house, starting a family, and becoming debt-free - feel mathematically out of reach.
