My fiancé and I have been doing better than most Americans. No debt, relatively high pay - we're pretty happy right now.
But we feel like we are stuck.
Perhaps its the golden handcuffs, or maybe we're being over-dramatic. But I couldn't imagine having a kid (or kids), and $XXX,XXX debt with the uncertainty of my profession alone. Having been through a couple layoffs in my ~10 year career. Take into consideration the state of the world, and we have decision paralysis.
I want to be optimistic, but I'm having a tough time.
This might come across as over-dramatic, but this country is a factory that mass produces the most dangerous thing on the planet. A young, lonely, angry man that has nothing to lose - a man that sees only doom in the future. And they can buy an AR-15 when they hit 18 in most states for less than it costs to get your teeth cleaned. Plus ammo delivered to your door!
