Real estate is definitely more of an issue for your generation. But the silver lining of Covid is the normalization of working remotely, so you can perhaps live some place cheap. Granted, if you were raised in California, say, that big house in Nebraska is going to be pretty miserable for you come winter time. As for work? Work is work. That's why people look forward to retirement. In an old Calvin and Hobbes Calvin says "It isn't work if nobody is making you do it." On the other hand, just about anything becomes unpleasant if someone is making you do it and making you do it their way.
