I graduated in 1992. Now it's not like my parents and grandparents were just living the easy life, not at all... But... There was always the sense that if you worked and played by the rules you'd be alright.

I worked at Tim Hortons and paid for my own place. No side hustle. No grindset. I had other things I spent my time doing. Was it easy? No. But it was 40 hours. Just 40. That's it. I could live on that. Then... People were ALREADY working multiple jobs when homelessness started rising.

You know, that waa when everyone started talking about the cost of living being too much for them (let alone the people in the lowest incomes. What happened to them? Oh wait...right, the homelessness)
