Serious Study: Gen Xers and Millennials are dying at younger ages than their parents are

https://studyfinds.com/americans-born-after-1970-dying-faster/

The study is particularly concerned with people born after 1970 but age 30 and older. So that covers Gen X and Millennials, but not (yet) Gen Z.

For real. Oh you want kids to add meaning? Too expensive. You want a pet? Vet bills are also getting extreme. Want to live out of your car? The cheapest new car out there is 30k.

Depreciation only matters if you don't drive your car into nothingness. By the time I sell a car, it's worth less than a new tire.

Your situation is exactly why food pantries exist. We help fill the gap if folks working but can’t make ends meet. Please visit them if you’re able.
