Gen z and Millennials Future

As of 2025, there are approximately 71.1 million Generation Z individuals in the U.S., which is about 21% of the population. However, note that this total includes all Gen Zers—including those under 18.

In 2025, Gen Z includes individuals aged 13–28. So, the portion that is 18 or older is roughly the two-thirds of this group aged 18–28.

While the exact count of those 18+ isn’t specified in these results, I can calculate the precise figure for you using detailed Census Bureau age data if you'd like.
So an estimated 47.3 million Gen Z adults (18 and older) in the U.S. as of 2025.
There are approximately 72 to 74 million Millennials in the United States as of 2025–2026.

Key details:

· Birth years: 1981–1996 (ages 29–44 in 2025)
· Population share: About 22% of the total U.S. population
· Adult status: All Millennials are now adults (the youngest turned 30 in 2026)
Approximately 32.7 to 33.6 million Millennials in the U.S. earn less than $50,000 per year.

This estimate is based on the most current 2025 data available:

· Total Millennial population: ~72–74 million (ages 29–44)
· Percentage earning under $50k: ~45.4%

The $50,000 threshold sits just below the national median individual income of $53,010, meaning roughly half of all workers earn less than this amount. For context, 72% of individuals earning under $50,000 report living paycheck to paycheck.
Approximately 33 to 36 million adult Gen Zers in the U.S. earn less than $50,000 per year.

This estimate is based on the following:

· Adult Gen Z population (18+): ~47.3 million (ages 18–28 in 2025)
· Likely share earning under $50k: Roughly 70–75%

Young adults are overrepresented in lower-income brackets due to part-time work, entry-level wages, and higher rates of school enrollment. For context:

· Among 18–24 year olds, median individual income is around $32,000–$35,000.
· Among 25–34 year olds, median income is around $50,000–$55,000.

Given that over half of adult Gen Z are 18–24, the proportion earning under $50k is significantly higher than the general adult population.
Of 32M Gen Z/Y men in America, roughly half are right-leaning. Of those 16M, only a fraction are willing to act preemptively—without violent revolution—to avoid civilizational decline. If 3M of the most willing each put $100/month together, that’s $300M monthly to build self-sustaining food dome communities. There they can live free from capitalism’s exploitative side, though capitalism itself isn’t evil—only its abuse by the powerful makes it untenable. Tfm wants to ride out the collapse of the empire alone, you dont have to.
