I’m 26 and i find it incredible that in the recent past in the United States someone could work at a grocery store and afford to pay rent, fill up their gas tank, and put food on the table for both themselves and their kids and live somewhat comfortably. I don’t romanticize the past by any means but putting things in perspective, the bar is currently so low, it’s in hell. My goal in life is to just live comfortably without struggling and it’s so sad how unattainable that is now.
