[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP’s post makes me think they probably had everything handed to them as they grew up, and does not realize/appreciate it. For those of us that didn’t, it is no harder now than it was for us then. My kid will likely have it better than I did.

I do wish we had a better safety net that would make opting out easier. Obviously if you do not want to be a part of the rat race, maybe you are not owed a SFH in a prone neighborhood, regular restaurant meals, or other trimmings of UMC lifestyle. But you should be able to work a chill regular job or something that gives back to society, and have a safe pleasant place to live, and access to health care. The fact that those things have become so unaffordable has raised the stakes and that is why we see people climbing on top of each other to try and be king of the hill. Progressive policies aren’t necessarily the solution since they tend to throw more money at housing/higher ed/health care, making them even less affordable to those who have to pay their own way.

You can.  There are many many parts of the US where you can live a happy and safe life with a decent job, health care insurance, basic public schools, own a home.  You just might have to leave DC[/quote]
