This is always a clash when I end up talking to my parents. My home country is slowly falling apart economically and they’re completely fucking blind to it. Especially ironic cus one of em is a fucking portfolio manager.
Like when I even mention that affording anything it getting worse and worse each year, while the rich consistently break income records, they derail the discussion by saying like “but don’t you have it great tho” (I earn well above average and still feel the pressure, THAT’S THE POINT) or mention that some rich assholes renovated some random castle and that without him it would juts be a ruin and that’s sad or some shit.
And we aren’t even getting that political yet. Just saying “hey mom, my future be looking unsustainable”.
