No they aren’t. A lot of people are having a difficult time at the rising costs for everything.

*** A lot of people are having a difficult time at the rising costs for everything. ***

Agree 100%. I am eating more sandwiches and ramen these days than I probably have eaten in my whole life. It is costing $10.00 more to fill my gas tank.

And I really don’t get the disdain towards younger Americans on this site. Many I know work 2 jobs, or an 8 hour work day, then go home to run their home based business, or side gig, sleep 3 or four hours, then do it all over again.

They shop at thrift stores for clothes, and home goods. They realize that they will never have the things their parents had..an affordable house, insurance for their car, and medical costs.. They can’t afford dental care.
I find it depressing that so many people in the US, young and not so young are struggling.
