Yes
So, I'm watching all these people talk about 'oh just pack your own lunch, make your coffee at home, you're all just a bunch of lazy spendthrift kids'.
Which, to be fair, some people really are spendthrifts.
However, none of these people are addressing the elephant in the room.
In 1966, any potato brained idiot who barely got out of high school could afford to buy a house on a single salary, and support a wife and 2 kids, and not have to scrimp at all.
In 2026, It's all Double Income No Kids, because nobody can afford to have kids, we're all working 60 plus hours a week, and living like a monk, just to scrap up a downpayment on a stupidly over-priced house on a 35 year mortgage at 9%, even if you do have 750 credit. Oh, and if you do find a house that isn't a shoebox, and is less than 200k? It's in some shithole corner of the country with no jobs, no infrastructure, and no local economy.
But sure, we can't buy houses because of door dash.
