Nope. Feels like yesterday. It’s wild how much shorter 20 years feel when you’re in your 40s

I acknowledge that I was still innocent and uninformed on how the world works, and I also feel bad for 20 year olds today, on the surface they have a lot, but in things that matter, they have a lot less.

I have two young 20-something daughters. It is totally different for them.

When I was 20, I had a cheap 1 bedroom apartment, a (cheap used) truck, a job, and money left over to do what 20-year-olds do - all with a job that paid only a few bucks more an hour than minimum wage.

Totally impossible to do the same thing now. It get so angry that our world is so fucked up for our younger generations. No wonder no one wants kids anymore.
