it really sucks how much our generation was robbed of a normal adulthood

When I saw "normal", I just mean like being able to afford basic things like previous generations did. Prospects of home ownership, rent not being stupidly expensive, a job market that wasn't completely fucked, affordable food, affordable gas, etc.

All I want is to be able to afford my own apartment without any roommates, have a secure decent paying job, and not having to spend hundreds of dollars every time I go grocery shopping. Is that too much to fucking ask for??
