A house, two cars, a healthy relationship ,a career, livable wage, 2.5 kids, a dog. ya know, the expectation many children were told in school.
Everything I hear on social media says this is a myth.

Yes, basically, except for the fractional amount of kids. Got my MSc for free (actually I got paid tuition to study, heh (living in Europe has its perks)). Now working in software engineering, happy with my life.
That said, I realize I’m an outlier, having many acquaintances with substantially harder lives. I’m deeply grateful to fate.
I can’t be sure it’ll last, though, so I’m trying to branch out into gardening now (while I have the money to spare for it). See if I can get a livable amount of veggies out of my farmland, some day. It won’t be enough to sell, but perhaps our family could earn subsistence level of calories out of our land…
