I feel like inflation does a really bad job at adjusting for everyone's major expense: housing. It feels like gaslighting every time someone tries to tell me how fine millennials are when we objectively don't have the same opportunities for easy effortless well paying employment that makes buying a house a very achievable goal relatively early in life. Of course these are just my feelings and I don't have data to support it

"when we objectively don't have the same opportunities for easy effortless well paying employment that makes buying a house a very achievable goal relatively early in life." I'm not sure where you got your picture of the 1970s and 1980s. "Easy effortless well paying employment" is not how most of my cohort would have described our jobs, particularly the "well paying" part. I'm not sure what relatively early in life is: before 30? before 35?
