exactly. I left the US, and there are just way more young couples with kids here. People generally live near their family and have support and won't drop everything chasing jobs thousands of miles away. During lockdown we're staying with my in-laws w/ our 12 onth old, and don't know how this will not continue especially with two kids. Restaurants, long haul travel, bingeing TV, all that stuff are just superficial luxuries of modern life and not the norm and highly overrated IMO. It's time to return to a simpler life. Focus on family, free outdoor activities, vacations are simple road trips to nearby locations, camping and so on.
