![Anon perfectly sums up a sad reality of many people in generations millennial and up. We shouldn't accept to live like this, change must be made and it must be us who make it. [718x623 - 155KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/MeMkPQ.jpg){kind=link}
Oh please, like this is the only generation that has to grow up, get a job and pay bills. Back when Carter was president interest rates were 15-29%, including mortgage rates. We couldn't afford anything. Gas lines were crazy, people fighting over gas, waiting in lines for hours; minimum wage little over $2/hr.
These kids have been indoctrinated with social emotional learning and have no idea how to navigate the real world. This is was shuckling communists do for gentile societies. Destroy.
"One third of my life will be spent sleeping, the other third working". No shit! Stop renting and buy! Drive an older car that's not a ton of money.
Excuse me, sir. You seem to have challenged millennial whining. Next time, try to communicate with @stabem in a more appropriate way, such as commenting this: 🏆. We millennials are very fond of receiving participation trophies, and starting your communication this way let's us know we're all entitled to praise for trying. If you have any trouble with getting the emojis on your phone, perhaps your grandson or younger colleague could help you format your comment.
I know lots of millennials that have their shit together and can see the forest for the trees. Rescuing the generation after that is the real challenge.
GIVE ME MY TROPHY BOOMER
Stop renting and buy! Drive an older car that's not a ton of money.

Some boomers had it shitty too. Blue collar boomers had it pretty rough, wages stagnant for decades, health insurance cost skyrocketed, only good thing was cars were fairly reasonable, and weren't all hi tech and you could fix them yourself.
I have a 2016 pos Ford . Needs a water pump. Should be easy right ? 3 bolts and a belt right ? Nope ! DROP THE MOTOR TAKE THE TIMING BELT OUT etc Fucking ridiculous
Something satisfying about fixing it yourself. "God bless the child who can say I got my own".
Ok, renter
O
Buy?
Were houses half a million dollars when Carter was president?
Things are much worse now.
I own my home but I remember living during the Carter administration
I saw a 700 square foot home on 1/8 acre lot sold for $250,000 in my town yesterday.
Nobody can afford that even on $50 an hour
Fuck you
The cost of a house back then was 70-90k in a decent blue collar neighborhood. People were lucky if they made $7 an hour. My point of mentioning the mid 70's was not to say it was more difficult but to say each generation has faced tough times.
I'm experiencing the same shit everyone else is so just fuck yourself. Life isn't easy and crying about it and expecting the internet to rescue you, well, it aint gonna happen.
In the mid 70's homes were $30 - $40 grand around here
