Sadly, in the pre-Bachelor generation in Germany, that's quite a common situation. And, for different reasons, matters are similarly bleak in many other 'Western' countries. Historically, the prosperous decades that followed WW II (at least in the West) will be a very short period, I think. Which is why I consider dystopian SF to be quite realistic, sometimes. Still, I'm not a *complete* pessimist - and still hopeful that 'society' will find new solutions for new circumstances/problems.
have a decade more time to work and save and so on. I think that gives them a slight advantage over me. Which is fine, and it's all my own fault for having taken ridiculously long to study and so on anyway... (I mean, who needs *fourteen years* to find out what they want/can do with their lives?!) Just saying, I think some of the twentysomethings have a better chance of turning things around for themselves, financially, than I do. Not a *great* chance, perhaps, but still significantly better than mine.

Re: Well, at least some people have a saving plan/insurance.
