Naked and afraid

I gave up on "Last One Standing" after four episodes. That was crap, although I suspect much of the blame should go to the editors and producers for playing up fake interpersonal conflicts. But the regular show is pretty much what it always was. It has always been more about mental and emotional strength than physical survival. The survivors' real personalities come out under stress and sometimes they are not pretty. But the nice, generous ones shine through.

Through 2021, Millennial homeownership is at its average for the past 30 years. The average mortgage payment is the same as it was for Boomers and Gen X. Income is higher than both Gen X and Baby Boomers at the same age. And average student debt is lower than either Gen X or Baby Boomers (although only 10% of Boomers have student debt compared to 20% of Millennials).
