“I make more money than I ever have before and I live in a shittier, smaller place than I did when I was in my 20s” is a disturbingly common experience for our generation
I'm less of a mess than I was at 26, but my life has become unbearably diminished in so many ways because my material conditions have consistently declined in spite of increased income.
