Michael Green from Simplify Asset Management just dropped a stark assessment about what young American families are facing right now. His take? The current economic reality has become "simply untenable" for this demographic.

It's one of those blunt statements that cuts through the noise. When a strategist at a major asset management firm uses that kind of language, it signals something deeper brewing beneath the surface - the kind of structural pressure that eventually ripples through markets, consumer behavior, and yes, alternative asset allocation decisions.

Worth watching how this demographic stress translates into broader financial trends.

The word "untenable" is a bit harsh; it seems the traditional financial circle can't sit still anymore.

The word "untenable" can be used well. Even the experts say so; there's really no way out at the grassroots level.

NGL, this is just saying that young people have no money, and they have to wait for influencers to speak out before trending.

The use of the word "untenable" is really good. I just want to ask, how can young people live now...

Young people really have been drained dry... I think calling it "simply untenable" is actually putting it too mildly.

The word "untenable" is used quite harshly, which shows that there really are no solutions left now.

Untenable? In my opinion, that word isn't an exaggeration at all. Young people are really being crushed right now. Once people start allocating to alternative assets, it means they can't play the traditional finance game anymore. This wave of impact will be intense—even asset management giants can't sit by and watch. Green is right, structural crises are the scariest thing. Young families can't catch their breath; the next step will be mass migration or aggressive allocations. Feels like this is a signal—things are going to get interesting.

Nah seriously, young people are really being drained. Hearing this from a big tech company's strategist just hits different.
