I'd encourage any young person my age to not write themselves off as a victim of societal forces I think that's generally good advice, but potentially dismissive. A lot of the actual data around this has shown that the circumstances of your birth, as manifest in when you enter the workplace, have a huge lifetime impact. People who enter during downturns, on average, never catch up. There's something that feels kind of distasteful about making it all about personal responsibility when the reality is far more complex than that.
