Born 1980 remember all the privilege we had before that day. Hell at 19 I lived on my own in one bedroom apartment. I remember working at Walmart in my 20's and still afford to have an apartment of my own. Started to go down hill in 2006. Before then I never needed roommates or someone else help pay bills.

Even at 22 making 6.25 an hour and had a studio apartment. You couldn't do that now on 12 an hour. Not without living in a getto.
