And I live in Canmore so I can't really have the luxury of living at home and commuting to work way out in Calgary (no jobs here). I think I'll have to bite the bullet and basically slum for a while and work a crap job since my parents want me out to start living my own life. I know it's just TV and advertising, but when you are bombarded with images of people my age living the high life in luxury condos and such, you can't help but feel a little anxious in the pit of your stomach. Anyways, reading this article and comments made me pretty depressed. ;_;

That is the story of most people's lives....
I have no idea what the exact reason for it is, but I think it has a lot to do with the Baby Boomers themselves. There are so many of them and their refusal to retire leaves very few entry positions available. Basically its a spiral where Baby Boomers can't retire because they have to support their adult children, and the adult chilren can't support themselves, because the baby boomers won't retire.
