“while younger folks/couples are rare because they got no money!”

Maybe, but I also see many of them have money and not know what money is. They waste it.

Most of the young people I know are making what I did at their age, 30+ years ago. And the price of everything has done what since then? It's quadrupled or more.

So it's not difficult or complex to understand, for the bigger ticket items like homes, raising families, having babies and all those accompanying expenses such as food, healthcare, insurance and on and on it's not happening for the young folks.

So for the most young folk, intimate dinners at nice restaurants will be the realm of seniors for a long time to come.

Here is a small example or difference between a few decades ago and now.

The affordability is similar to custom cars, hot rods, etc. When we were young folks in CA, that was exclusively the realm of the young crowd, teens etc.

Those days are long gone. Most young folks today couldn't afford the tires. What I see today are these hot rods and custom cars being driven by grey haired old men in their 70s and 80s, tying to be 22 again.☺

So there ya go.
