> Oh 20-somethings need money; it just hasn't occurred to them. Yes but software engineering pays enough that you don't need to go to Google or Facebook or other unethical ad companies to live decently. My salary is probably below market rate (which itself is way below google-level pay) and can still buy pretty much anything I want while having enough left at the end of the month to have near-0 concern about my future. (Not living in the US, so not worried about a health problem bankrupting me or having to pay ~100k for my kids college)
