I think you're really overestimating the happiness and stability of previous generations.
Overall, certainly I am -- but not on the topics of being able to afford things, which is my main focus here. You used to be able to own a home, a car, support children, and afford groceries on a single income, but many people my age can't even afford rentals, let alone all that other stuff.
My ass is never going to afford being able to retire. Literally not at all. And they're trying to raise retirement age to 72 for us so I guess I'll just work until I die with little to show for it.
