I'd ask you if you rent or own your property. Are you able to buy as many groceries now as your parents could on similar budgets, inflation inclusive?

Because I know the answer, I'd suggest you look past statistics at this point and examine yourself and those around you, see if you're able to accomplish more, or less, than your predecessors seemed to.

I have my biases and bents. I encourage you to do your own research and conclusions, vs parroting purported experts.

Gotta say, I'm not impressed with seeking anecdotal evidence being the go-to response.

What if I tell you "yes"? Somehow, I doubt your response will be to concede the argument.

Speaks volumes, that.
