text DM's rubin at YMS Radio. It does kind of
fet like it was a long week, to be honest, Yeah,

study one in four Americans hit peak burnout before turning thirty.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Yeah, that number seems now before.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Yeah, I'm like, I don't want to do any of
these things.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
According to the research, thirty seven percent of Gen X
and baby boomers said they're highly stressed.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Okay, your house is ten dollars, you know, call it out.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Fifty one percent of Gen Z and millennials said they're
feeling highly stressed.

Speaker 4 (00:58):
Hi.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Thirty percent of all respondents said the money was our
top stressor.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
Hello, only thirty. I feel like that's usually higher. Yeah, yeah,
the rest I'd be lying, Yeah, what else are you
stressed about?

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Eighty three percent said becoming an adult is more challenging
now than was a decade ago.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
I don't disagree with that.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
Everything is just so much more expensive and you have
to pay for every little thing now it's wild.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Oh like literally quite literally.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
Every little thing. Oh you want to listen to a podcast, No,
you get to pay for it. Remember when the podcasts
were free. I mean, you can still get our podcasts
for free, but like, if you want to listen to
any other podcast, it's not an iHeartRadio podcast, you got
paid for it.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Do insane?

Speaker 2 (01:33):
So, this professor of psychology said that Gen Z and
Millennials are trying to find their way in an environment
set up by previous generations. What work for boomers is
not working for them, and they're frustrated.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
Why is everything so expensive?

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Well?

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Do you think I've always said that the problem with
like millennials is that the promise we are told is
you go to school. You'd start off with the bamba
a job, but eventually you get enough money you can
build your life and family all stuff, and it just
didn't happen.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Okay, it just didn't happen.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
There was this TikTok that I watched and then it
became like this whole article and conversation about and I
don't remember everything, so please don't quote me on it,
but I will find an article and email you guys.
But basically, we are the only generation that has gone
through more than any Like we're the generation that went
through like the biggest change that we've seen since, like
for sure, the Industrial Revolution. So like we're the only
ones that can understand that, and nobody else can, Like

(02:21):
boomers can't relate to that because they'd already like been
an adult.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
So that's why we are the perfect distraction.
