What do you think the next 10-20 years will be like for Gen Alpha?

With the cost of living continually going up, I really feel bad for Gen Alpha and what they have to go through in the next 10-20 years. At the moment, millennials and and Gen Zer's are struggling because prices are still rising. If the trend continues, do you think Gen Alpha will suffer worse considering their cost of living will continue to rise, and their pay is likely not to increase as much? Or could things change in the next 10-20 years to where we'll see things start to get fixed by the next group of people in charge? Because right now, the way we're going, it's only going to get worse for us and the future generations. And I can only imagine how that will have an affect on all of our mental health.

It’s likely Gen Alpha will face even greater financial pressure if wages don’t keep pace with rising costs. However, policy changes, technological advances, and societal shifts could improve conditions—but without intervention, economic strain may intensify, affecting mental health and overall quality of life.

The future of Gen Alpha is definitely crazy. They are being raised in an environment of technology, artificial intelligence, and social media. I have fears about their concentration and mental conditions.

It is not all doom for Gen Alpha. They have the home court advantage of remote work and freelancing which means they can take up multiple jobs and earn more. Prices may keep soaring for the Gen Alpha but they have more opportunities to earn money than earlier generations.

The next 10–20 years for Gen Alpha will likely be a mix of opportunity and challenge. They’ll grow up in an AI-driven world where tech shapes almost every career, but also where creativity and emotional intelligence become more valuable. Education will probably shift toward skills like problem-solving, adaptability, and digital literacy over rote learning.

They might also face climate instability, economic uncertainty, and information overload. Social media and virtual life could blur identity and relationships even more. Still, if guided well, Gen Alpha could become one of the most innovative and self-aware generations yet, tech-savvy but hopefully more emotionally intelligent than the ones before them.
