Very similar story to you here OP. Other than that I am still one of the youngins GT talked about (29). Also to your question: yes, financial reality for my generation is incredibly bleak. They have run the numbers and even if we could magically make $100 in 2025 equal to $100 in 1950, we still only have 7% of the purchasing power with that $100 due to inflation of goods and services relative to the currency, which is itself inflated. I count myself lucky to even afford the gun hobby writ large
