Absolutely. Both me and my siblings. My parents were in an okay spot at this point, but they supported us to do far better.
Times were pretty borked compared to now, at least in this country.

Yep. Low bar to clear
No. Close, but no.
yes
Absolutely yes. I'm very fortunate.
Oh yeah
hell no. At least they had a car, a mobile home, and prospects for the future
Financially maybe, my parents were probably still at university at my age. They'd make more money than I do afterwards though.
And they had already found each other, while I've never even had one relationship yet.
No.
Hard to compare in my case. Iβm the same age as my mom when she had me, and we were multiple kids at that point. At the time we were probably smack dab middle class and were living comfortably. On the other hand Iβm better off in the sense that Iβm in another country that has a higher standard of living and way higher salaries, and we donβt have kids. So technically more money to spend than they did having to support kids.
