    Gen Z and millennial adults are having a hard time achieving the same milestones their parents did when they first ventured out into the workforce, such as finding a job, getting promoted or buying a house.

      Read ‘Hell’s Angels’ by Hunter Thompson. He has a chapter on the economics of being a biker/hippie/artist. A part-time waitress could support herself and her musician boy friend, and six months as a Union stevedore would keep an Angel on the road for two years.
