“Cancel your subscriptions. Make coffee at home. Go to college. Buy a house.” That advice was built for generations living in a different reality.
With rising inflation, unaffordable housing, stagnant wages, and crushing student debt, the traditional “rules of success” just don’t work anymore for many working- and middle-class young adults. This leaves younger generations searching for strategies that actually help them survive in today’s world.
Drawing on data-driven insights as well as Freddie Smith’s personal journey as an Emmy Award–winning actor who became a leading voice on wealth inequality, Generation F*cked explores the uncomfortable reality of how the American dream—homeownership, family, and a secure retirement—has become increasingly inaccessible. With a frank, solutions-oriented approach, this modern guide to our financially f*cked reality will help you:
- Understand how the economy became so unequal and which institutions profit as the cost of living rises
- Talk about the generational wealth divide with older generations in ways that encourage empathy, understanding, and productive conversation
- Decide whether renting or homeownership makes sense for your lifestyle, and take meaningful steps toward clearing debt, investing, and saving
- Build a retirement plan without relying on Social Security or sacrificing your work–life balance
- Stay informed, advocate for change, and redefine success based on realistic, modern terms
The current system isn’t sustainable. By pairing big-picture clarity with actionable, ground-level guidance, Generation F*cked offers a path toward an economy that benefits us all, not just a handful at the top.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Kennys Bookstore, Olney, Maryland, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
