    Worse in that I don’t have a house and probably never will.

    Better in that I know more about how to treat my physical and mental health than they ever knew about theirs.

    Worse in that I don’t have as much money as they had at my age.

    Better in that I don’t need to worry about leaving money to anyone.

      i guess we can say we also don’t have to inhale cigarette smoke at every restaurant and on every plane trip, as well as leaded gasoline fumes, like they did

      but still, yea. most people i know are basically fucked money-wise compared to our parents

        Well my mum was a chain smoker, so she would disagree.

        And I had to go throught all you say as long as she was near. No chance she would admit that was an issue.
