When you realize you grew up in best era to be kid and worst era to be adult

[Andrew Lokenauth @FluentInFinance]

10 years ago:

A McChicken was $1
A dozen eggs were $1.50
A Chipotle burrito was $6.50
Netflix was $9
A full tank of gas was $35
Rent was $1,400
A used Honda was $10,000

Ok I love this tbh

[susa @prinkasusa]

women are expected to earn money, raise children, maintain their appearance, manage emotions, and forgive every disappointment.

meanwhile, some men get applauded for doing chores in their own house.

I just heard this girl say, "If men didn't have to wipe their ass, toilet paper would not be free in public spaces. bleeding is also a natural bodily function, but because men don't do it, it's not treated as universal."

Just stalked my own instagram archive & forgot I lived all those eras 😭😭😭 Miss you sis. You had so much fun.

this happens in the horror industry about once every ten years or so and I can promise you they’re going to learn the absolute worst lessons from it.

Boomers be like, “Just walk into the office and ask for a job.”

The office: locked
The recruiter: AI
The interview: automated
The job posting: fake
The rejection email: instant
Your data: sold

Don’t think it was the motherhood that was the problem, it was the drunk husbands coming home and beating them and raping them.

[Leon @TrpstrLeonOG]

My grandfather bought a house at 27.

One income.
Three kids.
No degree.
Today people need:
Two incomes.
Perfect credit.
No debt.
A miracle.

And we're told we're the entitled generation.

[Jeremy @jeremyct]

The first person in your family to go to college is supposed to be the success story.

Nobody tells you you’re also the first person in your family to have $80,000 in student loans.

The first to delay marriage because of debt.

The first to watch siblings without degrees buy houses while you’re still paying off the diploma.

Education was supposed to be the cheat code.

Turns out they forgot to mention the price of the game.

When you finally start making some good money but the cost of living goes up 4x

[Tokyo @tokyo_111]

In 1980 a 22-year-old could work summer jobs, save $15k, buy a house with a $40k mortgage and have it paid off by 35.

In 2026 a 22-year-old needs to save for 15+ years just for a down payment on a $400k house.

Different rules. One generation pulled the ladder up

[Jeremy @jeremyct]

“nobody wants to work anymore.”

walmart made over $15 billion in profit last year.

meanwhile a lot of their employees still struggle paying rent, groceries, and basic bills.

people do want to work.

they just don’t want to work full time and still live broke.

[Mads @europemaxxed]

"Buying a house was really expensive back then. You had to save up two whole months of salary to buy a house, so it was really tough compared to this new soft generation that gets everything handed to them"

[Jeremy @jeremyct]

My dad retired at 59

I will not

He had a pension. I have a 401k I can barely fund.

He bought his house at 28.
I can't touch a down payment at 30.
He paid $90 a month for health insurance. I pay $430.

At dinner he told me I need to be smarter with money.
I nodded.

Didn't tell him his entire life was built on an economy that no longer exists.

Didn't tell him my generation is paying for his Social Security while ours gets gutted.

Didn't tell him the ladder he climbed got pulled up right after him.

Just passed the potatoes.

Make it make sense

[🍂 @Lovandfear]

ADHD people being mentally and physically exhausted but still staying up because they didn't get enough "me time" after surviving the whole day.

[Tuğçe yıldız @tugce190333]

Dün evime annem geldi ve duş kabinimde neden bu kadar çok sabun olduğunu sordu.

Onlara ben mi söylemeliyim, yoksa sen mi söyleyeceksin?
