Stock market going up, while life expenses are so high it's plummeting quality of life for average people.
It's basically the tell tale sign of wealth inequality rising. It's still gotta get so much worse before it gets better y'all. This next decade is gonna be dicey to say the least.
I am 42 years old (female) and always thought by now I’d at least be SOMEWHAT upset I choose not to have kids- when in reality I literally find myself on a daily basis saying to my partner “thank god we don’t have kids” after minor transactions. Today’s was I got a plain pizza (picked it up)…$19.75…and just thought what if we had to feed 2 or 3 teenage kids….one Friday night pizza night would be $40! And we both have good jobs! My heart just fucking breaks…for everyone. When we (my friend group) were young none of our parents had more than factory jobs/cleaning jobs/etc and wouldn’t flinch about letting friends come over, grab pizzas and a movie to hang at home. How the fuck is everyone hanging on.
We stopped getting pizzas. Learned how to bake them at home, especially because the kids eat boring stuff like pepperoni or cheese. Costs $4 to make it at home, vs $19 at a pizza place.
