On a roll? I'm 63 and I've never earned more than I do now. But... It seems like when I was 30 I had more disposable income. We bought new vehicles, a travel trailer, and other toys. We traveled much more then too; across the US and into Mexico every year. Now, even though we earn more than ever there's not much left over for travel. Our travel trailer hasn't moved in 3 years. We don't spend money frivolously either.
Unemployment is low, not counting the 94 million Americans who have given up. Young people return to live with the parents, others live 8-10 people to a house (three's company has become eight's company).
I'm not citing political causes. Everything is so expensive. There aren't many manufacturing jobs left in America. There's too much dysfunction.
I'd hate to be 20 years old now and starting out.
The world our parents left us isn't like the world we will be leaving our kids.
