We were talking about housing being an issue and how expensive it is. I was actually floored how cheap it was, I didn’t realize it was THAT much cheaper in some areas. I then showed her this generational wealth gap graph https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/5VFG0r8zGz.jpg and she had a hard time understanding “how” boomers had such an absurdly high amount of wealth, especially compared to my generation. Like she knew shit was tougher for a lot of us than it was back in her day, but I don’t think anyone has ever visualized it for her to really see how truly bad it is, and I wish it was a bigger topic people like her were more informed about.
I fully knew how much cheaper and easier everything was back then but goddamn, 3k? lol
