My college tuition was twice as expensive as the last generation's college tuition. And it means less in the degree saturated job market.
And I had to grow up with school shootings.
My house is twice, nearly three times as expensive as the last generation's house.
My food, gas, utilities, insurance, car payment, medical bills, entertainment of any kind - are all twice as expensive as the last generation's.
Of course that wouldn't be a problem if my wage kept up with things.
So I have to work twice as hard, have two jobs, and less free time in order to have the same things as the previous generation.
Oh, and I won't be able to access any social safety nets when I retire because it will be insolvent or pension because no employer offers that incentive anymore.
This is why I play a make believe super hero game 🤪
Edit: And traveling to Europe is way more expensive!!
