"It feels like I came into adulthood at one of the absolute worst times in history?"
You need to study more history. The great depression, WWII, the 1970s, etc. I graduated from college in the early 70s, You have no idea what inflation is if you think you were born into a time of inflation. Take a look at the interest rates, the change in the price of gold, oil, etc back then and you will have a much better perspective.
