$2200 a month for my rent. Applied for a mortgage that with taxes and insurance would be $1595. Got denied because the age of my accounts is too low (average of 6 years) after paying off my student loans.

Someone born to wealth can fuck around for years as a junkie, get sent to a luxury rehab with programs like equestrian therapy that is basically a stay at a luxury spa, and then waltz into a boardroom, bark orders, and collect millions of dollars they will then claim to have earned due to their strong work ethic.
Meanwhile a poor person that pursued a degree for a societally necessary profession like teaching or nursing only to find out that our society doesn't value society and won't pay them well enough to dig themselves out of trying to better themselves from the day they turned 18, and have at least half this ignorant, dipshit country condescend and blame them for their bad decisions.
Our incentive structures are perverse, and we root against our fellow citizens instead of cooperating and elevating one another like a society would. Honestly I'm glad the whole fucking system is mid-collapse. The pain of this collapse pales in the face of the generational servitude and misery this insatiable greed driven economy would inflict if it had found a way to persist.
