Yes, I am not one of those people who is foolish enough to think that it would have been better to have been born in 1940 than today. Of course quality of life and real incomes are higher.
But I think in the microscale, it might have been better to be able to invest in this most recent bull run when housing was also lower cost than the next decade or so.
This is like US doctors complaining about malpractice insurance cost. Sure, it’s high, but even after that look at income vs Canada or the UK.
