Pfft. I'm in my 40s with an established engineering career and a small home that I've owned for 18 years now.

I am also not paying for any streaming services I can avoid, not buying many games, sailing the high seas, and our cars are like 13/14 years old.

Because shit is crazy, especially being in the US. I am keeping my world small and focusing on my family and my community.
