Yup, similar story here.

My wife and I hold "great" jobs right now. Some of the best in the nation. Yet we can't afford anything close to what our parents could when they were 10 years younger than we are now.

And it just pisses me off to no end when we see shit like this from the boomers:

These people have no idea how lucky and easy they had it compared to what young people are dealing with now. The deck, is stacked.

Idk, I'm 26 and bought my house at 22. I also don't eat avocado toast, YMMV.
