Cancel your subscriptions. Make coffee at home. Go to college. Don’t rent. Buy a house to build equity. That advice was built for a different economy. Today, those choices come with far less certainty.
With rising inflation, unaffordable housing, stagnant wages, and crushing student debt, the traditional ‘rules of success’ for many working- and middle-class young adults no longer lead to the outcomes once promised. This leaves younger generations searching for strategies that actually work in today’s world.
The current system isn’t sustainable. By pairing big-picture clarity with actionable, ground-level guidance, Generation F*cked offers a path toward a more stable, fair, and achievable future, serving as a guide for generations navigating a radically different economy.
Generation F*cked by Freddie Smith will be published July 14, 2026. BenBella Books provided an early galley for review.
Smith, a daytime Emmy winning actor (for his role as Sonny Kiriakas for nine years on Days of Our Lives), has certainly done his research on this topic. He's brought the number and does the math right before the reader's eyes. He shows how the affordability scale that benefitted the Boomers and, to some extent, Gen X, has become completely lost for Millennials and Gen Z.
