The standard of living most of us here in the West enjoy today is extremely unusual. You might even say it’s anomalous. In that regard, rather than saying things are going to get worse, it might be more accurate to say things are going to return to normal.
Yup. I see posts like “how bad does it have to get for Americans before they protest like France?!” And it’s like, compared to the world, things aren’t that terrible yet. Still a decline sure, but it’s just bringing us back to the average.
The whole “move out at 18 and find your own place” is very American. Other countries it’s not uncommon to have multiple generations in the same house, some never move out. Not because they’re lazy but because it’s just too expensive to do it alone.
Oh boy, is it ever.
