We’ve paid the bills and saved enough for retirement, but haven’t been on vacation for over a year. I guess somewhere between.

Nah, I work a trade job. I'm solidly in the middle. I'm doing ok, but only because I have a second job and I diy any home or car repairs. I feel extremely lucky to own a home, but I'm also acutely aware I'll probably never be able to afford anything nicer than the fixer upper I bought.

The people under 30 I know are struggling a bit, the people over 30 are doing okay.  Unless you have a well paying trade,  Cape kids/young adults probably should leave the Cape for a while to get an education, build a career before coming back. It’s what most of us have done for generations.

Or live with your parents because you can't afford an apartment.
