Yes, but not in the imprecise terms you'll find tossed around in mainstream sources of information.
Key Lemmy-grade terms:
As someone who is also middle aged, I’d say some of this is very possibly looking at the past through rose-colored glasses. Personally I don’t think my life say 15 years ago was significantly less competitive, stessful, etc.
What is different though… I make over double what I made 15 years ago. I’ve had steady progression in my career from 15 years ago. But financially I am not better off than I was then (in terms of how much I have left at the end of the month). Which makes sense, in that while my salary has gone up say 5% per annum, the real cost of living has exceeded that rate.
I had that life for a bit but changed my job. You should explore your options. Get out before it kills your soul.
Move to a calmer city, get a job that pays less but allows you to breathe. Or anything. Just make changes.
Its not normal to feel like that and it's your own choices that is doing it, probably a desire for money or status.
Yep. It's all over for humanity. Enjoy whatever you can before it all goes up in flames.
