They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.
But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another’s throats.
Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don’t have any kids yourself.

Hope you chose the “rich parents” background or you’re gonna struggle the entire game.

Also, you should’ve already bought a house about 35 years ago. If you didn’t, that is a personal failing on your part.

Thats mostly true. You could also have a dying relative who could leave one to you as well.

Yeah I feel sorry for anyone who will be alive in 50 years. There is a pretty good chance there will be a global famine due to ecological collapse of the world’s oceans that wipes out hundreds of millions of people if not billions.
