Comment on Is gaming better as a kid or an adult?

You’re not wrong except I’ve never been met with such a dream situation.

I am currently working less than that at a supermarket. It’s in Germany though

Unfortunately, in Canada, it’s not possible to live in a house with that type of work situation unless you’re of a much older generation and bought your house decades ago. When I was younger it was typical for the father to have the full-time job (blue collar) and his wife to have a part-time job for “fun money”. Those days are long gone. Any couple starting up are both going to need professional jobs and likely live with their parents for quite a few years if they want to crack the housing market only to live house-poor.
I’m a millennial, I caught the middle ground. Housing wasn’t as expensive (but far from cheap) but still required both my wife and I to have above average paying jobs and we didn’t start having kids until our mid-30s in order to get our finances in order

Living in a house is pretty inefficient in a few ways, I live in a flat, it’s way cheaper.
