Look up "Hell's Angels" by Hunter Thompson. There's a chapter where he discusses the economics of being a biker/hippie circa 1970.
Angels could work six months as a Union stevedore and save up enough to live on the road for two years. A part time waitress could afford to support herself and her musician boyfriend.
I'm over 30 and miserable. Don't count me out on this one.
You just want a participation trophy.
Listen they gave out a participation trophy to Jimmy Weatherford when I was in little League and that fucker never did a goddamn thing. I've suffered just as much if not more than today's youths.
I know that many under 30 would be much happier if no single person owned more than $1 billion in assets. Why don't we try that?
Good luck with that
It's not under-30s miserable; it's everything and everyone.
Jokes on you, I turned 30 a few months ago.
How does it feel not being miserable all the time?
I'll let you know when it happens. :)
Any day now...
Miserable. Source, almost 34
But... I'd expect THIS magazine facing a sold grasp of happiness in us working class people?
No shit, either you're homeless and unreported or you're working a half dozen jobs to barely not be homeless while taking all the loans you can to live somewhat tolerably.
The US is going to collapse in a few years anyway, that's the only hope anyone has left anymore.

It probably doesn’t help.
