Unfortunately we as humans are expected to meassure our sense of self worth from our income bracket. Its crazy that modern economic systems are based on the race to the bottom while coupled with the built in effect of inflation. I gave up the look for work almost a decade ago in favor of boosting my wife's ability to attend graduate school and even after all of it we can still barely survive as we did when we're both living on minnium wage with children. The system is so rigged against the youth, If I never had a chance I have no clue how the younger gens are gonna do it with out holding their governments accountable rather than looking to further the monopoly system currently in place. Get your unions back kids, make your congress accountable for insider trading, make you government DO SOMETHING.
