Bizarre my personal experience full of privilege, I spend most of my time between NYC and London, and in the circles I’m in, everything seems great to everyone involved. Even though the illusion is shattered the moment you actually have conversations with average people.
(I’m a corporate lawyer in New York and my girlfriend is British and is doing a project back in London so I’m basically living on both sides of the Pond.)
Try living outside of the metro areas and working a non-labour aristocrat job; I live and work in Scotland working with vulnerable adults and my wage is like 25k a year while my rent is 1.2k a month lol.
I have a law profession and my partner works in art and we both have decent incomes and many of our friends have too. It’s a bubble. I deal with unemployed clients on a daily basis and only then you realize how many people in this country (Belgium) live. In moldy houses, in uncertainty, without food some days, constantly between sickness - unemployment - shitty temp jobs. My friends never believe my stories because they never see the misery.
