Living single allows an individual to avoid many of the financial obligations tied to married life.

Millennial here... Even I'm not getting married... It's better to live a peaceful life alone than moving into a stranger's house to become a servant, that too after paying dowry... Earn your own money and live a happy life.. 🙌🏻

We are proud of being Gen Z.
Gen Z are the first generation to say no to the bullshit expectation of the society, which do nothing but trap you in the miserable life.

"Why GenZ is not buying homes?" You really think we won't appreciate a roof over our heads, one of the basic necessities to idk, SURVIVE?

@Sam-w2e7n 1 month ago

Dude we can barely survive a month, living paycheck to paycheck with barely any savings. How can we even afford to do all that?.

@Vamshikrishna_177 1 month ago

Earlier people used to live be with family have fun whatever job they are doing. Our generation being compared scrutinized we are barely surviving and holding on to our jobs it's just really bad . The fear of commitment don't get people started on that

I really appreciate the anchor's delivery style! She presents the news with great clarity and at a perfect, measured pace. It’s refreshing to see a news reader who doesn't rush, a quality that is sadly missing in many other channels today. Great job, Firstpost, on choosing such a professional anchor! Great! No doubt she is going to Rock......."
