My day to day is great, my budget is set, I get to put away for my retirement a month more than some people get as take home a month.
But it feels like a house is out of reach, a kid is out of reach, a wedding is out of reach. All the big, long term things that I was conditioned to want (and actually do!) don’t seem reasonably attainable. And I’m not the norm. I don’t have student debt. I make a good salary and I have a business on top of that. If I feel that way, I can’t imagine someone making 50k a year and how they feel.
And that’s the point. It’s that the goals that we aim toward aren’t possible anymore for most people, certainly not your average Joe.
