A F-ing Men. Many in this society have become accustomed to a very high quality of living. Regardless of what you see on social media or what your friends might be doing, you can't have it all at a young age and/or if you do not have the income. So many want and expect it NOW. Right from the start, they want the big house, fancy car, expensive clothes, eating out all the time, the extra toys, etc. You have to work up to that. Also, all that crap often doesn't buy happiness but rather a crap load of stress trying to maintain it all.
Young folks don't buy starter homes anymore. They buy new or relatively new 3000+ Sq ft homes that three decades ago would have been considered mansions. I grew up in a wealthy county of Kansas City and only the select few rich kids I knew, lived in a new house or a 3k+ Sq ft house. Now it's the norm. Again, many people have become to a high quality and non-sustainable lifestyle. That's the large reason why many "struggle" in this country while bringing in $100k+ yr, barring a few select states/cities in the US. A majority of us could free up a ton a cash if we adjusted our lifestyle. But for most, it's hard to go backwards.
