Multiply by everyone who worked as hard or harder than their parents only to discover that it was no longer enough and Trumpism starts to make sense. Multiply by everyone who wants to have a kid or buy a house or has a medical event and Trumpism starts to make sense.

I can afford to keep up with the 15% contributions, but it means that I won't be saving up for a house, family, or any of that other life crap. Keeping up with it right now means I have to scale back my lifestyle a bit.
I basically need to bail on my current career placement to find the highest-paying industry position I can get STAT.
