If you're not Christian, which many of the young generation is not, then marriage doesn't make sense when society starts being this post-modernist thing where your well-being and even survival isn't dependent on having large families, which is why you see the same hopeless attitude in Japan and places such as that.
But who says you need a family? I have no intention of ever getting married.
Success for me will be paying my bills and being happy.
Not living to the standard of my parents. I never will be able to afford what they could afford.
When I realized what I would be able to attain based on a variety of factors, including my own foolish decisions throughout life, I adjusted what I need to be content. As the Bible says, Paul in the new testament, if you have a roof over your head, food, and water, you can be content.
I won't be able to buy the latest greatest stuff, but you can be content in a large variety of scenarios.
The ones who complain about this stuff are really saying "I won't be content unless I'm rich enough to whatever standard I have set that standard at being.
Considering the large amount of rich people who end up killing themselves, I think that's a pretty foolish idea to hang your contentment on.
You and I are capable of being content, sure, but that doesn't address the dangerous rising discontent in the young'uns. This situation is very much capable of toppling countries. Of course, most people will think it can't happen here, as is traditional before disastrous events.
