I don't know about anyone else, but when I was in undergrad back in the stone age (1999-2003) most summer jobs didn't cover tuition and education costs for the year ahead, let alone this supposed saving for a down payment or avocado toast. That was very different from my parent's generation where summer jobs etc. paid for the education costs and more. Now here we are in 2017, where summer jobs are often unpaid internships, or non-existent, with ever rising costs. It's always tough when you're trying to start your adult life for all generations, but the system is out of whack from a financial perspective.
