I got a question or concern

Where do we heading to a society or as a human race, I feel we getting in to a decline but idk if it’s only me but (23m) I think we have no future at all like not even make a family is worth it anymore, everyone is fighting for our money and our attention 24/7 and it’s draining, this is life? Just work to barely make ends meet and experience barely to nothing in life besides work?

Past generations had future Some had a promised future But us atm even newer generations after mine we have the information and the knowledge that we don’t have anything tbh

We got told to work hard and we will make it but we find out that doesn’t get you far anymore just to barely survive

We chase money that used to be backed with gold or any mineral but now money does have a meaning? Or did we got the point money is not backed with anything existing so what’s the value of money? Do we need to chase it and never get the value that used to have? It’s just paper that someone gave value and we get told to chase it cause that’s the only point in life? Idk

I just want to know someone opinions from different points in life, different generations how you view life rn and in the next couple years

I have a good work ethic and I got told I got a really good mind and I talk like I’m older I got so much “knowledge” but I don’t see anything in front of me, I got to the point where I just focus on me, my health, my personal goals, in my partner and the relationship that’s what is keeping me going that i prioritize my wellbeing rather than money
