'Thomas Harmathy is doing fine. He's healthy, in his early 20s, living on his
own and working a hospitality job in the big city.
However, he and his friends don't feel like they're in a golden patch.
"I think there's an innate pessimism about their outlook," he says.
"I'm just trying to, not necessarily get by, but just trying to figure out my
life week-to-week actually. And it's been like that for a while"
The issue is not one single thing.
To Thomas, it's housing, it's precarious work, it's seeing the building blocks
of a stable life — many of them financial — becoming harder to clamber on top
of.
"It's kind of been this like rolling situation for the last while and there's
this overall sense of hopelessness just around."'
Cheers,
