Your grandparents and parents got to live that way because they lived in an empire that destroyed democracy where my grandfather came from and extracted wealth from client states around the world to fund their fight against Russia. All of that affordability and prosperity was on the backs of people like my family that lived around the world. My prospective is much different and I’m nearly your age.
My grandfather was impoverished in Iran. My parents escaped the Iran Iraq war which was funded by the US dealing drugs and I’m doing the best of all.
Yeah, recognizing the fact that the boomer generation had those privileges because of wealth extraction from the third world is an important part of growing up and that you will never regain it because it wasn’t yours.
