I think this can also be split by class and background to provide further clarity. For example, every single one of my classmates (we were all lower income people) and myself are head and shoulders above where our parents were at our age or at about the save level with us facing significantly less work and stress to get here. I have a feeling middle-income and upper-income people have seen something different than us.
