Plan accordingly.
I thought I was a fortunate outlier but Jeremy Horpedahl suggests we're doing alright in spite of these things.

Using government inflation numbers is bound to fuck up your results but they did it anyway.
Use broad money or m2 as your inflation measure and I bet it doesn't look so rosy.
His one of his responses to BLS data integrity.
Lyn has also pointed out (can't find the tweet) that folks like us love to question government data when it doesnt fit our narratives but embrace it when it does.
Between that and reading a lot more Jeremy, I simultaneously hold the beliefs that its not as bad for millenials as we portray to one another online, but also, centralized ledgers are bad and things should be much better. 
I hold consistent that you are measuring with a ruler that has constantly changed sizes over that time.
I think some bitcoiners are guilty of this but I honestly can't think of a number from the government that I'd trust to be accurate.
I will admit to pointing at numbers they admit that are bad but I assume they doctored those as well. That just means it is even worse than they admitted to.
2035? Sounds optimistic.
and people wonder why the zoomers are nihilistic
Basically lol!
Now put a parallel bitcoin guy on the right. He eventually turns into an orange eyed Thor.
that’s a good point, but I think the picture should be a group of Bitcoin people rather than just one guy who looks like Thor. 🙄
Some millenials are old enough to have been burned by the dotcom bust too.

Don't forget 2055, when the looming population crash causes most assets to drop near zero.
And might as well throw in WWIII for good measure.

Lol. You left out GenX but thats normal.
Boomer generation is truly awful. I cannot fathom impoverishing your children for your own gain and actively creating a worse world for them to inherit
So good.. you creating these memes?
2035 no Social Security hits Gen X right in the jaw. Luckily .. my jaw is half titanium.
No mellinials or zoomers expect their Social Security check to be able to buy more than a cup of coffee.
