none of us will ever be as well-off as someone in the 1950s
the mere fact that my predecessors had everything (family, disposable income, housing, etc.) that I want out of life, yet I never will is just incredibly demotivating. it fills me with a deep sense of sadness knowing that I will probably never settle down and live a good life. and the worst part is: in their time, it was seen as normal and common for people to have that. anyone else ever feel this way?
