There’s no denying it: tattoos are way more popular now than they used to be. Walk down any street, and you’ll see sleeves, neck tattoos, finger tats, and intricate back pieces, many proudly worn by millennials. But ask a baby boomer what they think, and you might get a very different reaction: raised eyebrows, disapproving […]

Baby Boomers often saw homeownership as a rite of passage, a sign of stability and success. But for Gen Z and Millennials, it often feels like a high-stakes gamble.
