That year, we seemed very wealthy. We were like heroes in our childhood, but now we've forgotten that dream and only learned to yell at service staff in restaurants. When did we become so obsessed with virtual reality that we think it's a good thing to brag about online? When did our parents stop talking about their past struggles and start showing off their kids' wealth instead? That year, we seemed very wealthy. We would spend half the day playing games on our phones, but our parents still use their old phone for calls and texts only. It's not worth as much as our monthly expenses, but it reminds them to care about us when we need it. That year, we seemed very wealthy. In the autumn, we would buy all sorts of gifts for couples, but our moms still use the cheapest, most basic makeup they could afford. What happened to us?

That year, we seemed very wealthy.
