I personally think it is just "Expectation vs Reality". The government is in extreme debt. Debts have to be paid back. The problem with debt is that it does not leave freedom to do constructive things (like upgrading infrastructure). Also, what you are feeling is a pinch of inequality. Average and median wages have been stagnant despite record profits of corporations. Tax codes have been changed to favor investments rather than plain old hard work. So, while our "expectations" have been to just work and earn a good life like our grandparents, the "reality" does not facilitate the same. Also, you're living the life most people just dream of. You're richer than most others.
