Hey other dudes. How are you dealing with the existential dread of not being able to afford things like our fathers and grandfathers were able to. And the uncertainty of the future because of it?

This doesn’t really pertain to me as I don’t have kids and make enough money where it doesn’t affect me. But I’m an unusual case so the post is is true of most men and women.

But you can tell the inflation numbers are absolute bullshit when I compare myself to my maternal grandfather. He had three houses, a nice car, raised three kids, had tons of hobby stuff — all on what today would be around $80,000 per year. I make well more than double that in just salary alone and I couldn’t do that. Not even close.

This economy is killing me and I don’t know what to do anymore.

The above is what it’s really like for people out there now.
