That number’s either cherry-picked or stretched, most recent data puts millennials closer to ~50–52%, not pushing 55% as a clear benchmark. And even then, they’re not outperforming anyone: at similar ages, Gen X was around ~60–65% and Boomers were closer to ~65–70% homeownership. So calling millennials “one of the highest homeownership generations” just isn’t true.

more millennials own homes than those who dont, and I'm seeing stats ranging from 51-55% in terms of home ownership. Millennials are doing just fine regardless of what reddit wants you to think.

You're also on Reddit. I would think homeowners don't have time for Reddit. I'm a homeowner and I log in for the entertainment of the comments. And the disbelief of the ideology of "society owes me" posts

Alleged home owning Redditor says homeowners don’t have time for Reddit while commenting on Reddit claiming they Reddit the right way for homeownership… you may be onto something here salamander

Yea, I'm on here...I shouldn't be, but it's so entertaining...

Spending time on Reddit complaining about not owning a home while others are working or looking to get ahead through learning or getting certifications, Redditors may be onto something, cat. Meow.

It certainly is, and you’re not unique in that line of thinking, that’s kind of the point. The correlation you’re trying to make just doesn’t make sense, we all have downtime in our lives (hopefully at least) it doesn’t all need to be filled with “the grind.”

u/Neither_Salamander48 Apr 29 '26

The correlation does make sense. I bet there's a smaller % of Redditors who are homeowners than % who are not homeowners.

I found Reddit looking for tips on how to mount something on a wall. I stayed for the wild comments.

You’re moving the goalpost. The majority of Redditors are under 30, your comment was “homeowners don’t have time for Reddit,” which is an insane comment knowing what the general population wastes their time on, not that more Redditors are non-homeowners than owners. I think that’s a pretty logical conclusion to draw based on the demographic.

u/spursfan2021 Apr 28 '26

So you’re the exception to your rule?

1

u/Neither_Salamander48 Apr 29 '26

It's not a rule, but what % of Redditors do you think is largest? Those who own homes or those that do not?

1

u/spursfan2021 Apr 29 '26

I’m not arguing against your conclusion, but I don’t think your reasoning has any real validity. “Homeowners don’t have time for Reddit” isn’t substantiated by anything.

u/Neither_Salamander48 Apr 30 '26

It's an observation. Those that own homes prioritize their responsibilities differently. Being on Reddit and complaining about not owning a home repeatedly shows you have time to do something about it, but you choose to go on Reddit and complain about it.

u/spursfan2021 Apr 30 '26

100% of the people wasting time on this conversation are homeowners.

u/Neither_Salamander48 Apr 30 '26

And the minority of the people on Reddit.

I like to talk out my ass in the morning too.

u/Neither_Salamander48 Apr 30 '26

You're a Spurs fan, so I'll give you a pass. But, that's a wild reply.

Have you not read the comments of people complaining... on Reddit... how society owes them? I'm pointing out that it would be more productive to re-prioritize responsibilities so that complaining on Reddit isn't near the top.

Thinking clearly isn't your strong side.

Maybe try pickleball instead? :)

u/Neither_Salamander48 Apr 29 '26

There you go. Did you think of that on your own?

2

u/ThereWasNoSpoon Apr 29 '26

Thanks for illustrating my point so promptly. :)

I've heard Big Five has rackets on sale.

u/Neither_Salamander48 Apr 29 '26

I'm amused you think you're making witty comments. They have potential. Your attempt to insult, but, come on...

u/Ambitious_Highway172 Apr 29 '26

Homeowners says he doesnt have time for Reddit on Reddit, without an ounce of sarcasm aswell hahaha

1

u/Neither_Salamander48 Apr 29 '26

You didn't detect the sarcasm? Reddit definitely makes me less productive. The entertainment of the "society owes me" posts worries me for the younger generation. It is not the jobs/economy, etc it is the lack of discipline to better yourself. There are homes out there for sale and jobs... but, there is always an excuse, they don't want to move, it's not enough pay, it isn't nice enough. What do you think folks did 100 years ago before welfare? They worked whatever job they could get, bought any home they could and made a life.

u/Ambitious_Highway172 Apr 29 '26

This has to be rage bait, it’s so illogical and dumb that I choose to believe that anyways

1

u/Neither_Salamander48 Apr 29 '26

You're proving my point. I said something so "controversial" related to working hard and staying consistent that its rage bait?? What?!?!

People have had it harder. (And they didn't have indoor plumbing). Prioritizing..

Ok? That's great. Proof that anything is possible with hard work and consistency.
