A house, two cars, a healthy relationship ,a career, livable wage, 2.5 kids, a dog. ya know, the expectation many children were told in school.

Everything I hear on social media says this is a myth.

Pretty much struggling at 40. Not in debt but no savings either. Parents don't have any property so no inheritance forthcoming.

Could've been worse. I feel much more sorry for gen Z and alpha at this point.

Retirement though seems out of the question.

People keep talking about the largest wealth transfer in history.. but that money is staying with the one percent. Normal people don't have their lives set for them based off inheritance. I honestly know more people who will be supplementing their parents retirement more than anything.

Btw is your name a reference to Kyrgyzstan?
