    Not surprised. My wife and I make more money than we ever have and I feel like everything is out of reach. Inflation is through the roof. And wages haven’t come close to keeping up. We’re fortunate both of us make mid $20 an hour.

    For someone starting out I have no idea how they could manage. If I was starting out today straight from highschool I’d most likely be homeless

    Are they actually surprised?
    Even the previous generation were delaying and skipping milestones.
    Pikachu face: late stage capitalism.

    I think catering to family life is a non goal of european governments since they smell clankers could generate wealth for the few.
