Reply to You spend your entire life dying by [deleted]

Depends on how you define dying. IRCC there is a point in age in which your body’s growth stops, your cell replacement/production slows down, and you are losing more cells than you are gaining them. At this point, I would say you start dying.

Using terms like “crippling”.

My home sells 3 times that value than I paid for it.

My salary is 2 times the salary of when I paid for it.

The same thing happened to the boomer generation.

this is about the majority of young people nowadays genuinely and factually not being able to ever own any sort of place to stay, not being able to pay for families while inflation is constantly rising. If you can pay rent and live in this environment then you are more wealthy than most 20 year olds today. Thats not a joke or an exaggeration. This isnt because they buy lattes its because prices are rising while wages arent.
