My parents always said they wanted me to have a better life than them.

Now it looks like the only thing I'm inheriting is their economic anxiety.

I have so many side hustles now,

my tax return looks like a 'Help Wanted' sign.

I asked my boomer dad for advice on buying a house

He said 'just work harder and cut back on avocado toast', I said 'dad, I'm a freelance writer, my only income is from avocado toast reviews'

I told my manager I was feeling overwhelmed

and they said 'you just need to prioritize your tasks and remember, we're all in this together... as a high-performing team, not as people who will actually support you'
