The 2015 people didn't take into account the high stress levels in 2026. We're all struggling to pay for groceries and rent.

I think I am missing the joke here. Who exactly is worse off than 11 years ago?
Pretty much everyone except the ultra wealthy.
It was bad 11 years ago. It's worse now.
Eggs 11 years ago cost $0.89 (hell, TWO years ago!). Today they cost $5+.
Food inflation has been moderately high but egg prices were a mix of weird short term events and umm price fixing (look up the recent case).
They are back to pre 2022 levels now! https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/APU0000708111
