    Yeah this is a huge part of it. Boomers were able to give their kids good lives. Millennial can’t even give their kids the same standard they have. People want to give their kids a better life than they had, but this is impossible without a house and a yard and extra money for game consoles and extracurricular and playmates and all the shit that was taken for granted in a 90s childhood.

      Nail on the head. Would my hypothetical kids be fine without the treats I was given as a child? Probably.

      Would it be exhausting to justify internally, explain to people, and face judgement from family? Definitely.
