    I make way more than I did in my 30s (53 now) but I feel way poorer. Of course my mortgage payment is more than 3x what it was back then … that might be a reason.

      The fact you can afford mortgage and a home blows my mind and I’m 40. I have no hope in hell of ever owning and I make decent money

        If I lived in someplace like Silicon Valley California and making what I make I’d be homeless. Someplaces are better than others. But the system is definitely rigged for sure.
