A former coworker whose parents are rich told me once she didn't understand why young people in our country are not so eager to have kids anymore. I replied that most young people are unemployed and skint including most of my friends, which makes it difficult for obvious reasons. She replied that she did not even have €50000 (about $61000) in her bank account when she had her first kid.
- spaetzleesser 5y agoI remember there was an Interview with former presidential candidate Mitt Romney's wife who talked about how difficult their college days were. She said that they had been so poor that they had to sell some stock from Romney's trust fund... I think it's pretty natural not be able to relate to the circumstances of another person's life (I myself have trouble thinking abut how it would be to live on $50000 or less per year) but it's really dangerous that a lot of the decision makers in politics and business have no idea how to life is for people with less money. The left wing parties who traditionally looked out for the working class are now led by people who have never been working class. That's not a good trend.
