I totally agree with your agreement with me :) I also think the current generation has it "harder" - previous generations had positive peer pressure, where it would be very odd to not have a meaningful job, to not marry, to not have kids. So people did those things and by-and-large grew into those responsibilities (not everyone but it worked well enough!)
In more recent decades, we pivoted this around - since these lifestyles don't work for everyone, we did a good job of denormalizing. You don't need to work, you don't need to be married, you don't need to have kids -- so many people don't, but also in not-doing, they don't have the change to find why it was the right thing for them - as I believe the majority would.
