TheBiggerWiggle 11/30/18 10:36:16 PM #51:	It's funny how fucking out of touch baby boomers can be. An earlier post ITT reminded me of this old dude I worked with. He was in his 60's, and retired sometime in the last year or so. He always likes to boast about how his son went to college and doesn't have any student debt and his son works so hard and blah blah blah. I actually engaged him one day out of curiosity. His son (AND his wife) still lived with him through their mid 20s and early 30s. He didn't pay any bills, any rent, any food, nothing. He drove a hand-me-down car too. They didn't travel anywhere, and from he made it sound didn't have any fun either. Basically his son and wife watched tv all the time and blitzed their debt rent-free. Like... I'm not advocating for frivolous spending by any means but that just sounds like a miserable ass life to me. Not to mention that luxury of living rent and expense-free isn't available to everyone. --- I have trouble concentrating because I have 80HD. <cite>TheBiggerWiggle posted [p:913336613] in Millenials...

Try affording decent rent or a mortgage in France or Germany or the UK on your own lmao. A much bigger chunk of your change than most of America, excluding obvious problem cities like San Francisco. American youngsters can still thrive on their own if they have common sense, discipline, and if they aim for a good career. Note also that our parents lived in much smaller houses than we aim to live in these days. In terms of square feet, people 50 years ago got by with much less. Americans want their parents' standard of living without working and earning it. Proudclad how does that Boomer ass taste? <cite>clearaflagrantj posted [p:913336902] in Millenials...

I only know one dude who likes to play golf and spending $30 for an 8 pack of razors is dumb when you can buy an electric for cheaper that lasts years. So if I omit an iphone, couple consoles, vehicles and an 8 pack of razors, ill be able to afford a house? Cool where do I sign up? I sick of paying 2k for rent.

Don't have kids out of wedlock, finish high school, and go to college or trade school for something in demand. Live on less than you make. That's literally all you have to do and anyone can attain this. And in most of America you can find 800 square foot homes or smaller for very reasonable and attainable prices.

While they made some points on some the one that killed me was the housing market. Person actually argued it was stupid to want to own a house and renting was superior. Main point was you'd be stuck there even if the neighborhood became shitty where as renting you could more easily up and move. If the housing market wasn't a mess selling a house wouldn't be that hard. I've moved around quite a bit growing up and my family never had problems selling the house.

I have to say, though, given how badly my generation is getting fucked, I don't feel guilty at all for living with my parents, even if it's considered "mooching." Sorry if that bothers you, but consider first taking a look at the mooching capitalist elephant in the room if you want to know why roughly a third of my generation shares that living arrangement. It's much more common in Western Europe and in countries that are much more left than France, Germany, etc. Like Venezuela lmfao. America remains the best option for anyone who wants to pursue a good career and be independent. Only 33% of millennials live at home. That means 67% are not. And living at home for a while is in fact a good thing, because it lets you save money and invest it into a richer and stabler future. More people should live at home or with room mates for a while so they can save up money. It doesn't bother me at all that you live at home to save money. What "bothers" me is how you give unsolicited advice and input about how it's "so hard" even though you literally have no experience lol. --- Do good.

If millennials are so broke why do we all have $1k phones gaming pcs multiple consoles decent vehicles go to festivals, concerts, eat out a bunch, vacations. I don't feel poor just different. I only know one dude who likes to play golf and spending $30 for an 8 pack of razors is dumb when you can buy an electric for cheaper that lasts years. So if I omit an iphone, couple consoles, vehicles and an 8 pack of razors, ill be able to afford a house? Cool where do I sign up? I sick of paying 2k for rent. If 2k a month is too much for you you probably shouldn't be buying all of that frivolous crap anyway. If you cant afford a house, dont ever buy anything you like! This is kinda decent advice, actually. Lotta people would have it easier for longer if the saved up more and earlier. --- [break the meta] https://youtu.be/Acn5IptKWQU <cite>Guide posted [p:913341403] in Millenials...
