The world changes. Imo it’s not avocado toast or stagnating wages.
My grandparents grew up in little house on the prairie Alberta complete with horse and wagon. He was a teacher and she a nurse. A big deal in the depression era. They still bought a cheap lot, built their own house from the ground up, and grew their own vegetables. Their kids were idiots with the luxuries like tent trailers and sprawling 1000 sq ft bungalows. Their grandkids were bigger idiots. I can’t even fix my own car beyond a tire swap. And my kids are the biggest idiots. They can hardly make a lunch and would starve before giving up data.
Comparisons to the past are worthless. On average, everyone today is better off than the generation before them even if their credit isn’t. It’s not systemic, just the next problem to solve. If we get through health, luxury, and equality and all that’s left is economics? We’ll be fine.
