I'm 34. My grandpa who died late last year was in his 80s. He was able to afford a 3 story house with 5 acres and support his 5 kids, and wife who didn't work on a maintenance man's salary. He bought his house for 70K in the 70s and it just sold for close to 300K. I've been working since I was 14, I don't have nearly the wealth that my parents, or their parents had at the same age. Starting a family is a lot harder than in the past as well due to social media and dating apps. Although I'm married now, I had a hell of a time finding someone.
I'll forgive but I won't forget. Had someone at my work single me out in front of everyone for being unvaxxed during the height of covid, saying it's because of people like me that we have to go through the lock down. I've lost faith in normies since COVID
I'm hopeful but running on fumes. Trying not to be a doomer
