In a TikTok video, different generations revealed the rent prices for their first apartments.
Viewers were left shocked after one baby boomer said he paid $98 per month for his first apartment.

Several people argued that these prices do not account for inflation, but others pointed out that rent prices are still much higher today, even with inflation considered.
Most recently, Gen Zers have been speaking out against work culture, arguing 9-to-5 schedules and in-office mandates are flawed.
