      Life seems to have gotten significantly more complicated in the last 15 years in general, after controlling for personal changes like aging/life-stage. Other things being equal, there’s just a lot more detail and choices to manage Anyone disagree?

          Is this more significant in the US than some other places? If so, maybe cause those variables have larger values?
