>I do live in a country with universal healthcare.

Ha, when I read this part I kinda understood why I don't relate to this secret. I know the world has gotten better with medical advancements and civil rights, but even if I'm only in my early 30s I have to actively fight myself to stop fantasizing about time traveling to at least a few decades in the past. I guess if anything I wish I was an adult back when it was easier to move out and live alone. The lifestyle my parents had in their 20s in the 70s-80s is something I can only dream of now. I know, realistically, it would suck if my 33 year old self just went to 1985 instead of 2025 as a queer and mentally ill person, but at least I'd be able to have groceries take up half my paycheck.

I hate to break it to you, but just because groceries were cheaper doesn't mean everything was.

In 1985 I was in school and making $3.35 an hour, and jeans still cost about $30.

In the early 90s I made $16k a year, lived in a different city than my boyfriend and routinely had ridiculously high ($150) phone bills. It cost the same to heat my apartment as it does monthly to heat my house now that's 3x the size.

I was using groceries as an example off the top of my head. I'm aware it wasn't easy decades ago, my mother still grew up poor.

Slightly along the same lines, I was born in the mid-80s so I imagine I'm looking through rose tinted glasses, but I would love to experience the 1990s (especially in major cities) as an adult. Start of the 90s would be rough but I would love to experience basically 1996-1999.
