“I’m f*cking stressed out. I’m f*cking stressed. We should not be working like this. I work my ass off and I can’t even f*cking pay bills — All of sh*t just pointless”
The cost of living in America has to come drastically down. Americans can’t afford bills, they can’t afford a home, they certainly can’t afford to start a family
An estimated 70% of Gen Z struggle to pay rent, an estimated 53% of Millennials also struggle just to pay rent

US consumer sentiment is down to 47.6 points, the lowest level in history.
At the same time, the S&P 500 is trading just 3% from its all-time high.

During the same period, the S&P 500 has rallied +205%.
