These are the kind of kids in their late teens to early 20s whose parents found rent too high in Sydney and bought them an apartment with cash instead. Another who just casually mentions her parents rent out beachfront houses and can move between cities because they own properties everywhere, like it's fairly mundane information.

I try not to be resentful to the point where I focus on things I can't change, at the expense of things I can change. I can't personally blame these kids for something they didn't create.

But when the grind towards secure housing seems like such a Sisyphean task, and constrains so much of our lives these days, then I actually meet these kids and their friend circles being handed these assets as a matter of fact... to never know what such a fundamental part of most peoples lives involves... It's beyond just rich and poor, it is such a massive gap in life experiences and coming face to face to it is just a bit surreal and depressing tbh.

Really saps the energy out of you in even bothering to try joining the race. I don't want to grow up with all their privileges but gee, not having to ever worry about housing security when looking for jobs, partners, hobbies, etc would be very nice.
