The point of my post is that every generation will have their struggles, its not unique to generation d or z, and someday we too will be labelled as ol' greedy aholes who pillaged the system for self gain too. Life is hard, resources are limited, and you just have to deal with it because its the world we live in.

Yes, but not all struggles are equally difficult. And the struggle referenced here is an economic struggle. Lucky for me, I'm a Gen Xer. Bought my first place when houses were super affordable in the early 2000s. Wages haven't gone up much, but house value have pretty much tripled in that time.
Whenever things are tough, my friends and I remind ourselves at least we bought all our houses on a 60% off sale. I have a lot of sympathy for millennials. Of course some will do well and it's great you are; however, it is objectively harder for 20-somethings to get started now than it was 15 or 20 years ago. I can see it plain as day and I think every statistic would back that up.
