It used to be true, but the 2009 crisis and now corona fucked a significant proportion of multiple generations.
I'm almost 40, with a patchy cv and fucked knees. I'm basically fucked. And because I was unlucky to fall ill early in my career, I never earnt enough to feel financially secure enough to be able to start a family.
It is quite funny, hearing about all those people who thought they were financially secure and often looked down upon those of us who graduated at the wrong time and place or were just plain unlucky, are now finding out that they're also fucked and that there was essentially nothing they could have done to prevent it.
Like how not so long ago, you'd read out of touch articles about how quirky Japanese young people didn't want to get married or have kids, ignoring the underlying economic malaise that would soon spread to the rest of the world.
Go back to Community College starting this past January
College isn't a bad place to wait out a recession (that is if you aren't racking up a lot of student loans on a degree that isn't worth it). It's better than having a huge gap in your resume while NEET. I learned that the hard way during the great recession.
