When I was in my 20s, I watched the next "class" after me get destroyed by the 2008 recession. I don't know if this was accurate, but it felt very sharp. On one side was me, doing the things you would expect but doing "well" at them. Meanwhile the next gen trying to do the same thing would be unable to get a job. Thus making it very difficult to get started.
At the same time, a house in California was already pushing a million dollars, so I knew what the score was. In that respect, we were both screwed.
Most of the people I knew who were crushed in '08 were in their early 30s. More expensive than us young guys, with families which made their financial situation less flexible.
