I bet some of them are going to be jealous at you.

Those who bought house feel burdened because the guilt and regret of buying a house starts to kick in after the honeymoon of "I bought a house!" already passed. They might start to wonder why I need to buy in the first place? It's so expensive and I already can live at my parents house. Why buying at the first place just for the swag to show to society you can buy a house?

The one who married started to feel their money is not theirs anymore because almost all the money they earned goes to kids and wife. Even though their wife got earn, but it feels like they are still responsible to provide because that's what husbands must do.. unless you don't love your wife...

They started to live in survival mode instead of enjoying life. Life is not about entertainment anymore. It's about responsibility and duty as a husband.

They just imagine what if they are free. Can just come back from job and play games until midnight. Can just use their saving to buy new phone, new GPU, new PS 5. Can go restaurants and eat whatever food they like. Can just go out with friends good brothers to binge. Can go vacations multiple times per year because they just need to pay their own ticket.

Now they are slaves who earn money for family and paying debts.

But again yes, by society standard, they are ahead but that doesn't mean they are living happier. And they will start to quietly regret following such standard set by society but there is no turning back. But I believe in the 50's they might be grateful they passed the storms. But they have suffered for 20 years to finally get freedom again. And they are already old.
