My very comfortable, non-degreed parents just stare at me in disbelief when I mention that we won't be able to buy a home in SoCal.
That's exactly the point.
Boomers are blind in that way. They feel that if you just step out and try hard, it will be enough.
They don't think of this as entitlement, but having such a world around you is the entitlement they had that the millennials don't even expect.

So for those on this forum, who choose to go child free ... don't you feel relaxed, when you go to sleep at night? I certainly do.
Hmmm... Does that mean the ones WITH children aren't relaxed when they go to sleep??? I've got three and I sleep like a rock, so I don't get your point??
Well, my sister and brother-in-law drink Amarettos and Whisky, respectively, to get themselves to sleep at night.
All that stress about bills, the child's activities, etc, have really eaten away at their lives.

Hmm.. That's sad.... Makes me wonder who REALLY is in charge in that house...
Well, it's either Johnnie Walker, Jimmy Beam, or Jack Daniels, take your pick?

Regardless, since some of our founding fathers didn't have children, I'm following suit.
The coming generations of American kids will be the dumbest of 'em all.
Core R&D will be done in Asia and places like the USA, Canada, etc, will become money laundering centers for monied powers.

Like I said, chicken!!!
Sticks & Stones, plus, the good General's got my back.
That's a given..... But boy can they text!!!
I suspect that the brighter ones will become cyberpunks, so keep an eye on your credit scores and bank balances at all times.

Excerpt:
--- "Even as economic conditions have improved for some in the population, young people are worse off today than they were 20 years ago," says study co-author Warren Sanderson, an IIASA scholar and professor of economics and history at SUNY Stony Brook.
Failure to thrive syndrome "is most prevalent among those with the least education," says the study, while noting that a college education also doesn't ensure immunity from the syndrome.
This would be the case for 27-year-old Brian. Though he has a bachelor's degree in aviation management, he lives at home with his parents while trying to pay off $230,000 he accrued in student loans. ---
