"Are Young People Financially Doomed?"
Personally I do feel a HUGE difference in what I am able to actually do compared to what my parents taught me
There is no room to "save up money", buy a /big/ house or car, go on yearly vacation etc
So yeah, as a millennial I do think it's getting a lot harder, I can't even imagine the next gen, oof.

Used to have five barter fairs within 300 miles every summer. They've all gone.
Farmers markets, the co-ops, tack and trade..
Big daddy corpo has no tears in his eyes over high prices.
But have we truly forgotten the power of good neighbors? i wonder..
