Home ownership, retirement. My janitor dad payed off a 5 bedroom house in a nice suburb with no education (he did not just not graduate high school he never went at all) and had a nice retirement. I have a masters and dual major bachelors and can’t afford to live in a free standing house (and luckily could not afford to have kids). travel - nope, drinking - long term less than once a year, expensive restaurants - nope, heck can’t even afford fast food at this point. Sounds to me like your social group is all rich kids. Heck I grew up with rich kids and still don’t know any.
The median salary for a MA holder is 95K. More than enough to afford a nice home in most places in the USA outside of HCOL. And a good quality of life.
Education but my bachelors degrees are microbiology and chemistry although I work in IT. You have to have a job to be making that and that is more difficult outside of HCOL areas. 95K in a city with a metro is barely enough to afford a place but likely not a stand alone home. Truly HCOL like new yor or san fran its have a few roomates. Aslo these jobs often do not have pensions and the people in it have serial unemployment over the course of their careers. They were not making something like that for 30 years. My father did way more than have a nice home. I mean it was kinda ramshackled but most folks would be ga ga to have it today. It was very much like the family at the start of caddy shack. That size house, single salary, with that many kids. Pension to boot. Thats a pipe dream for anyone who did not start workin in the eighties and even then unlikely. Xers are just about to start retiring and oh man is it going to be a trump show with social security barely covering medicare costs now. Combine that with no pension and savings only if someone is very successful like myself. So super successful today is < typical pleb of yesteryear.
Thats kinda funny gvien how other people complain about my writing. Usually people put stuff into ai to get a more well formatted and grammar correct writing. I think you could take a min and look at my profile and make a better determination.

your profile makes me think you are not a human being at all. nothing about you seems real. you write like child.
I don’t put enough time in my writing. I will give you that but were is this going. What are you going to do with your belief? Talk me to death.
