I watched this YouTube video https://youtu.be/WP-ktk7Tt6w?si=hnKOC08_KYGn8UBW

How bad is it over there and how widespread? As a foreigner I thought my country was bad. How bad is it for people on average wages? Is it really hard to pay the rent and put food on the table or is that just a small minority who don't know how to manage their money?

It's bad, ie rents keep rising, groceries keep rising, gas keeps going up. Average wages don't. But at the same time we have lots of people with plenty of money, moms with time to walk their kids to the parks on a Tuesday afternoon... Plenty of people are making plenty of money. It's just that if you aren't one of those it's pretty difficult.

Younger peeps are just living with roommates or shacking up to make it work. But they aren't living in vans en mass, or something.
