You didn't have a spouse or kid well before the covid/inflation boogeyman, as did all of your peers.
- lenerdenator 2y agoPeople forget, finances for Millennials weren't great pre-COVID either. Lots of student debt taken on by a generation who were told they'd be absolutely nothing unless they got, at the very least, a bachelor's degree. COVID just made things much, much worse.
- bluGill 2y ago> they'd be absolutely nothing unless they got, at the very least, a bachelor's degree. I have long told people what degree you get matters. There are a lot of interesting areas of study that are not valuable in the workplace. If you want your degree to get you a good job - which is the implication of the statement - you need a degree that is valuable. If you can afford to not have a good job (either because you are rich or you already have one) then go ahead and study something interesting to you that the market doesn't value.
