I don’t understand the point of these posts - at this point we all understand that the economy has changed in the last 60+ years and even changed dramatically in 2000, 2008, and 2019 in rapid succession.
I’ve seen a lot of danger in belaboring these sorts of point, often sowing the seeds of hopelessness, generational dissent (which ultimately isn’t productive), and it never seems to come with a meaningful call to action or what better advice would be.
Which is concerning given the rising rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide attempts in younger generations vs previous.
How much are you willing to sacrifice? What does that even mean?
There should be no sacrifice. The wealthy should be paying their fair share of taxes, and then we could all have healthcare and some guarantee for basic housing.
See, this is the escape hatch. When you are old and the kids have policies you will not be assured of anything. And thus, will not be supportive. I know this because I see how people older than I react to nonsense posts like this. They are not assured.
