The kids coming up can make all the "correct" or "good" decisions and it is still harder for them financially to get where you were at the same age. Keep coping and seething but the data does not lie.

Of course the data lies, because it’s a conclusion that in search of justification instead of examining the factors. Does it cost more? Sure. Is it harder to do? If you don’t make good decisions it’s a LOT harder.

Why is it harder? Seriously. You’re not thinking about why. Take 5 minutes and look at your monthly bills, then realize how much you have going out that simply didn’t exist for someone raised in the 60’s or 70’s.

People eat out constantly, didn’t do that then. People used to put that $15 a month into savings they now spend on Netflix, MAX or something similar. Probably both and some others as well.

You’re trying to compare two different things, ignoring that reality.
