Is Gen Z financially illiterate, or is the dream of buying a house just mathematically impossible today? In this episode of How Bizarre, we decode the spending habits of Gen Z. From taking Vietnam trips and buying iPhones to completely ignoring real estate, we unpack the psychology and economics behind these choices. We dive deep into "The Lipstick Effect"—a phenomenon where people substitute big, out-of-reach purchases (like cars and homes) with smaller luxuries (like makeup and sneakers) during tough economic times. We also break down the hard numbers of the Indian real estate market, from Knight Frank's Affordability Index to RBI's down payment rules, and why a 25-year home loan feels like a trap for a generation dealing with AI job insecurities. Will Gen Z ever buy homes, or is the future all about co-living and renting? Watch till the end to find out! Don't forget to tell us in the comments: What would you pick? Renting forever with flexibility, or stretching your finances for 25 years to own a house?
