As an almost 50 year old gen x who is on disability I will never bad mouth the younger generations for having a hard time financially. I am right there with you. I'll never own my own home, the only reason I can afford my rent is because I've been in the same apartment for 10 years. I'm paying less for a 2 bedroom apartment than it costs to rent a single room these days. I'm going to have to live here until I die because I'll never be able to afford to move.

Groceries have skyrocketed just since covid and they weren't cheap to begin with either. Even before covid I was paying more for a week's worth of groceries than I was for a months worth of groceries in the 90s.

Times aren't just tough, they're fucking impossible.
