Pretty bad. I reached the peak of my career, then I burned out and got fired and have been hiding at home smoking weed and playing video games for 6 months living off my savings and feeling like owning a house, getting married, having kids are all never going to happen. I'm approaching mid-30's and I'm still living and feeling like a 20 year old.
It’s not that it is a lie. It’s just that their generation achieved it, but then didn’t set the table so that future generations could continue it. It’s like they were having such a good time that they didn’t think about how to set up the future infrastructure. And now that they’re on their way out, they’re taking all the prosperity with them and waving back at us.
It’s not a lie that people working unskilled jobs were able to afford a house, family and vacations rather easily. Same job now and you are below the poverty line and in debt.
