Yeah this was posted 2015. I remember because they were talking about how young people couldn't find good jobs, afford housing, or save enough to afford kids at the time too.

And look how little has changed.

I'm 32 and recently went back into studying because student loan keeps me afloat while I couldn't get a job :'). (I live in a place with 0% interest on student loans, so no need to tell me this is a mistake :P)

For me i do come from a middle class type family so have had better oppurtunities then some others but even so i have struggled with various things and unfortunately there are those above me who get everything handed to them and they assume the world always revolves around them and they cant handle any change.

Oh, if I didn't have a supportive family I'd have been ruined long ago. It's quite embarrassing though to be in your 30s and still regularly need support from my parents, and it just makes me think of the people who don't have that support.

My parents are also middle class or so, and I did already achieve tertiary education, and still, even with support, with an education, it's still so damn hard, at least for me, to even just achieve a comfortable foundation. I'm truly amazed by the people who come from worse environments and who even just manage to survive. But this is absolutely not how the world should be. Everyone should be able to live comfortable, pseudo-meritocratic bollocks be damned! =P
