It's not just his generation. I've had 10 millennial friends commit suicide for similar reasons. 2 were software developers, who realized on their 60-70k salary and student debt, they still couldn't afford the "american dream".

We are heading for a violent political revolution imo. The status quo just can't go on.

Where did they live? I know multiple people who didn't have trouble buying houses or traveling with salaries around there

You've had 10 friends who have committed suicide? How big is your friends list?

Upwards of 2% of people kill themselves officially, so approximately 500 not accounting for demographics. What a socialite.

I live in Slovenia. While i wouldn't call them my friends, from my primary, high school and university 6 people that i know of committed suicide.
