Why could GenX afford to buy a house and you can’t?
We bought ourselves cars that barely ran and learned to to fix them with duct tape and baling wire.
Most of you refused to learn to drive and when you finally did, Mommy bought you one and still pays for your gas and insurance.
We lived 6 people to a 1 bedroom so we could move out at 18.
You’ll live with Mommy until you’re 40 because you can’t share a bathroom much less a bedroom.
We got our first “real” job at 14 and have worked 2-3 jobs at a time through school and will until the day we finally retire or die.
You won’t start working until you’re 25 and you cry on day 3 if you haven’t been promoted or if you don’t get praised because you showed up.
We had a 13% interest rate and earned about $500 a week for a full time, above minimum wage job.
You cry about 6% and you’ve never worked a minimum wage job because you think it’s beneath you.
We learned very early on how to regulate our time, our money, and our emotions.
You believe you’re the main character and that your big feelings require others to regulate so you don’t have to.
You want a house? Stop whining and figure it out like every other generation has had to.
I had to take a ride to Walmart yesterday to pick up a mouse for my awesome laptop that my very special lady got me for my upcoming birthday. It's always an adventure walking into that place. Seeing this kid and his grandma there would have been one of the more normal sites.
Here's a question, how do these goth kids walk around in 90° weather with the sun beating down on them, all dressed in black from head to toe?
@JonJustice I don't know how the metrics work with the iHeart app, but I listen right up until the show starts, then I close the app. Hope the Talk is getting the message.
Truly disturbing and sad. Jesse Strang killed 9 in and injured 25 in BC, but apparently society isn't allowed to call him mentally ill?
