Ben, I’m 25. I’ve been in a long-term relationship for years. I went to college, which my parents paid for. I work in finance and have a good job. The ONLY reason I have not moved out and have not gotten married, is due to the high costs of housing. It’s just not as accessible for my generation. So the stats about oh well now only a quarter of young adults are doing those things, isn’t because the culture has changed and we now don’t value those things, it’s because the culture has made those things nearly impossible. COUNTLESS amounts of my peers are in the same boat. We can’t afford it. It’s not from ANY lack of trying or effort on our part. Period.

Ben, I’m a sheet metal worker, I own a home and I have a car note. I make close to $40 an hour and it’s STILL a struggle. If I literally do nothing but buy groceries and pay for utilities, I’m able to put some money back. You want to sit here and tell me that there isn’t a cost of living crisis, you’re either crazy or you’re lying.

In 1975, the median income and median home price were much closer together which could also be skewing the statistics.
