>Across the country, Tekin found that "[m]edian home prices have increased at four times the rate of household incomes since 1960," meaning homeownership is increasingly out of reach for many Americans. Rents, meanwhile, have grown roughly twice as fast as adjusted wages between 1960 and 2017.

Got a job at minimum wage.

No future prospects, stuck in a rut, deadend boringness.

Proceeds to kill self. At least toast was nice.

I have a job and I get paid much better than average person here. However I still don't feel very wealthy, and there's lots of wealth imbalance in this country. The younger people are even more fucked. I'll probably be fine considering I earn more than average, but I'm seriously concerned with the trend however.

Sure we can own trivial things like laptops and what not, but that's not really something to secure your future with. Younger generations will be forever slaves and work to the grave, unless you happen to be born in fortunate family or get incredibly lucky.
