Those under 35: how bad are you struggling?

[IHaveRespawned]

I feel we are reaching an apocalyptic moment in time. Everything feels so dystopian. I am newly married and broke. I would be homeless if I didn't live in my parents' house with my wife. Thank God my parents don't actually live here and live elsewhere. I have like $35 in my bank account to last me until I get my next Social Security disability check on the 3rd. I have held 25 jobs in a span of 15 years and now rely on disability. I am getting a small part time job to get some extra money because me and my wife are so tight financially.

I feel like the pretty people with no mental health issues and good genes are perhaps thriving better than me. Those who have Autism or mental health issues with poor social skills are likely to be the ones struggling more. I have noticed this.

Struggling badly

70%-80% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. This includes 100k earners.

First time home buyers median age 40.

Young adults living with parents: 49% of adults aged 18 to 29, 20.4% of those aged 25 to 29, and 12.7% of those aged 30 to 34. 70% of young adults aged 25 to 34 living at home are employed.

Google the wage inflation chart, it's a hoot.

I have 3 kids in this age bracket. They all went to good colleges and majored something that gave them some marketable skills. They are all doing much better than me when I was that age.
