""It's so hard to afford to buy a house, or any property," Yang said, adding that a lot of younger people are staying at home with their parents. He said for older generations, it was more affordable to "live the American dream" of buying a home and starting a family. "Now, you need dual incomes to afford just the median condo or house. You need to have a pretty good job; you can't slack off too much," he said."
""When you talk about dating apps, the first thing that comes to mind will be hookups," she said. "But the Gen Zs are really more conscious about more real things in their life, they're not into hookups. Unlike the previous generation, what they imagine of an ideal partner is very pragmatic." The CEOs said that daters should choose dealbreakers judiciously while finding a partner."
Money and economics have become central factors for Gen Z when choosing romantic partners. Rising housing costs and stagnant incomes make homeownership unaffordable for many without dual salaries. Many younger adults remain living with parents and delay buying property. Economic pressure creates incentives to seek committed, financially stable, and ambitious partners who can contribute to household expenses. Hookup culture is less appealing to this generation, which favors pragmatic, long-term partnerships. Daters are advised to set dealbreakers carefully because educational attainment and career advancement can change financial prospects during early adulthood.
