That is a very small portion of your generation, whatever generation. Most people don’t have enough money for that lifestyle.

  > Most people don’t have enough money for that lifestyle Agreed. My point is most people in America has a lot to be thankful for, and yet everything in social media seems programmed to drive the opposite. (Being thankful doesn't mean one stops fighting for more.)

    > But you don't have to make yourself miserable for not being a billionaire. I don't think that's what the OP Redditor is complaining about. He's complaining that as a 30+ year old, despite his best efforts, he can't seem to get any kind of footing as a self-sufficient adult, and can't even afford to live on his own. This is a pretty common complaint for young people today, and it's grounded in reality. I don't think this is anything like someone complaining that they're not a billionaire. Heck, I'm almost 50, and I frequently feel that constant low-burn fear that if it weren't for my fairly decent job, my family and I would be in huge trouble financially, and un-recoverably so. I'm thankful, but also fully aware of how precariously I am walking the tightrope. There's no safety net or grace period in the USA anymore. Once you're down, you're out.
