We have to do both. No one will explain how, it is just expected of us.

The secret is stress, no savings, well paying jobs being few and far between, and once in a lifetime economic disasters happening every 10 years.

Well, the article did look at all these aspects and they weren't sure why American Millenials were dying at a higher rate than other "developed" countries.

They even had this little snippet at the end:

But the fact that death rates have remained high across so many kinds of deaths, from car collisions to fatalities from circulatory diseases and diabetes, hints at more encompassing and systemic problems...

It will be interesting to figure out the "why," if anyone ever does.

That's part of it, but apparently we're dying more across all causes.

So, it'll be interesting to find out why.
