It's not a great time to be young right now. But has Covid crushed what was left of our dreams? Yeah. Nah.
"I was telling everyone that there was no way I was coming home, and by the time I'd finished work that evening I had booked a ticket back to New Zealand."
It's not a great time to be young right now.
You might be straight out of school or uni or training and you just wanna start living your life.
But you've got student loan debt, and because you're new and young, your job doesn't pay much. Your room in the flat you love to hate, is draining way too much money. And buying a house? Honestly, probably not ever going to be on my radar.
The environment is broken. Social media is a blessing and definitely a curse. And everyone keeps repeating the fallacy that it will all be OK if we just work harder. At least they've stopped with the smashed avo on toast line.
Then Covid-19 comes along, shuts down the world, crashes the economy and kills more than three million people. So far.
No, very politely, it's not a great time to be young. But has Covid crushed what was left of our dreams?
Yeah. Nah.
