The problem is complex. Looking back in human history life was mostly harsh. Two fell for each other, she got pregnant - which meant 500 years ago, she needed help. And the man had the only option of marrying her - and take care of the family. Support, pay.

It didn't really matter if both wanted it, they had no other choice. More kids, more hands to do the hard work and defend the settlement against hostile animals and parties.

It was that way for thousands of years and I believe it is still engrained in our DNA.

30 years ago some people decided to introduce feminism - telling everybody that only a career guarantees enlightenment and salvation - for both women and men.

As if women coming from poverty had any other choice than work before this movement of everybody needs to work.

It is like all movements. Started from wealthy bored kids with only a limited insight in lives dynamics, but a loud voice.

From there on it went all sideways. Women focused on career, it was good for the companies - more people on the labour market, lower salaries - supply and demand. So they also encouraged the working people trend.

And most of the people followed the promise of wealth. Wealth never came, they got older and are now in their 50s - alone, poor.

When friends are dying from illnesses, and people lose their jobs, there is nothing left in life.

The only thing that gives meaning to life are children, a life partner and a relationship. Gen Z should keep that in mind.

Only a few will make a fortune in business. Most won't. Don't sacrifice a relationship to the carrot of wealth. It is just an illusion.
