You think they’re unhappy? Go ask the parents of these under-30s, who should be retiring but are likely still working to support their adult kids, how they feel!
Every one of us is losing right now, except the rich pricks who still aren’t happy with billions in the bank.
Yes, I am that parent. I have no money for retirement, and I don’t own a house, and my income is entirely spent on the family. I feel pretty insecure and a bit bad that I don’t have the means to leave them anything when I die.
Are you me?
It’s possible.
If that was the case then we’d have legislation that taxes property speculators - we do not. In fact I keep hearing how they want to protect “mom and pop” landlords, or how landlords are doing a service by providing rentals.
ONLY the provincial Green Party has proposed doing fuck all about speculators. Speculators became a larger segment of the market than first time buyers a few years back.
Bad news, it’s people over 30 too. Kinda obvious when you aren’t able to hit milestones and afford the life society “promised” you. One day you ask yourself “what’s the point?”
I know. I’m in my 50s and feel I have more in common with insecure young people than with the contented boomers we hear about.
I hate to break it to you, that’s a sentiment the human race shares as a whole.
Not the over-60s in Canada, according to this article. It’s painful watching them fumble around for reasons why young people might not be happy though. Apparently being unable to afford to live your life of wage slavery in a burning country whose social infrastructure is being dismantled on a planet that’s being destroyed so billionaires can become trillionaires while the world turns to fascism and war is not enough.
