Over 40? For me is even worst! You younglings still have time to do something. I have no house, no savings, no retirement plan and no time to do all that! I'm the most fucked! Do you think I expect good things?

I know, right? Who decided that things get better after 40?

As a GenXer pushing 50 I can guarantee that things have always been tough and they're not getting better.

We're in the same boat. I started training a few years ago. At least i want to look good, while going down.

I think you're misunderstanding. This isn't just about good things for them individually. We don't really expect the world to get better in pretty much any way. And gen z seems to be expecting it to be even worse.
