    Progress is well and alive for people in the top 10%. Lots of people I know are thriving, but they come from money and are making six figure salaries at 25.

    But for the bottom 90%, we’re all fucked. As much progressive as I’ve made in my 15 working years, I’m not really any better than I was at 22 when i got my first job.
