Almost every generation had problems with future prospects. I understand that GenZ is feeling bad after looking at the 90s and 2000s and thinking that they got a raw deal with the 2020s. But these things are actually cyclical, people who grew up in the 60s, 70s and 80s had the same questioning about jobs (there was major recession in the 70s/80s, not to mention the recent "Great Recession"), nuclear war, communism, AIDS, etc. Just look at the 70s and the hippies, that was a movement against modern lifestyle, Capitalism, consumerism etc. I don't think the problem is in any way related to "late stage" capitalism. GenZ is feeling the pain of growing up, becoming adults and realizing that "life ain't easy". But what you experience today is actually better than the prospects for many generations of Americans and, even more so, Immigrants. Just hold tight, ride the wave, try to make the best plans you can and easier times will eventually come.
