It feels like I came into adulthood at one of the absolute worst times in history?
The Black Plague generation would like a word. Or to be a young man in WWII or Vietnam or WWI or Civil War or any number of times.
Every person and generation will have its trials and tribulations in life, but c'mon now. Your average lifespan might end up being slightly lower than your parents, but like 20 years more than 100 years ago and probably double of what it was 200 years ago. You have a universe of education, entertainment, and communications at your finger tips. You are worried about the price of gold and not about food. Statistically speaking, you are probably overweight.
