I hate to think a homemaker would feel this way. That's incredibly sad. But I can certainly empathize. It isnt really an issue of logic. Like you can know you contribute in various ways and still feel otherwise. I started researching the issue on YT and found videos made by much older retirees, as you pointed out. Even that's a disconnect because I'm only 31 😂

Anyway, just something people have to figure out. I've tried hanging out with much older people, but they view me as a child (probably fair on average). Not that I don't value my youth, just puts me in a weird social spot.
