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
@thepivot@AnthonyMackie Real respect has nothing to do with holding doors or giving people titles. This is how we’ve ended up with all these narcissists and abusers who claim to be “good guys”.
@GodPenuel @_falsi1ke They’re not pliable enough. They might have opinions or input on how their household runs. They might not have the energy at the end of every day to be a good bedwench. God forbid they make more than their male partner.
hi. um. so. i just bought paper towels, toilet paper, and trash bags and the total was fifty one (51) united states dollars. someone needs to do something immediately.
The fact that feminism & womanism is literally documented to have started with black women, DURING SLAVERY at that. We were THE most oppressed class in this country. White women jumped on OUR wave. I want yall to know your history so bad.
