80s/90s according to tv: You live in a large house with a huge bedroom and own everything anyone at the time would have wanted.
80s/90s reality: You more than likely owned almost nothing. Except for the lucky few, you were most likely broke and everyone you knew were broke too. You did happen to own a piece of shit VCR.
Had a hard-working dad who was on a roof every day and owned his own company. (Which the '08 crash pretty much destroyed.)
I had everything I needed, a lot of what I wanted, and my life as a kid was a good one. The major upside, looking back, was that I had a future to look forward to, and that’s something most young people now don’t have.

Young people now are screwed. I am glad I never procreated.
