Honestly, we got shafted... Our generation has had it so rough, with no end in sight.

I can't help but feel like our generation just completely got the short end of the stick. Born to parents that were coming out of the drug filled 80's, was raised by my grandparents until I was 6 when my parents, divorced when I was 1, finally kicked the partying and drugs, got their act together and decided to take custody of me. Had to start working at 14 and pay rent to help my family, both sides, with rent and bills. Bought my own beat up first car. Took out student loans to get out of town and go to college, just in time for everything to collapse in 2008. Had to move home to help my parents survive being evicted because of landlords not paying their mortgage and pocketing their rent for years. Terrible jobs in my 20s after our government started two never ending wars, bailed out airlines, car companies, and corrupt banks with garbage wages leftover for us. Finally meet my wife late 20s, and now have extremely high inflation, costs 80k to put a 20% down payment on a house at a 7.5% interest rate for a house that is valued 120k over what it's actually worth... Can't even begin to think about affording children. This sucks folks. We got fucked. Hard!
