if you can hold 3 jobs, hit a few perfect trades, keep expenses low and then nail that parlay you can live the lifestyle of a moderately successful plumber in the 1970s

[Specter @DemonFramed]

The middle class is the real slave class.

Too rich for assistance. Too poor for loopholes.

Paying outrageous prices for health insurance, daycare, car insurance, mortgages, taxes, and everyone else’s mistakes.

The rich own the system. The poor survive it. The middle class funds it.

The best way to live life is either being rich or being homeless

The relevant question here is not what we would do.

The relevant question is whether taxpayers in another country over 6,000 miles away would be morally obligated to fully subsidize our defense against the Mexican drug cartel—and the answer is clearly no.

Boomers are rewriting the 70s, 80s & 90s into the Great Depression because Millennials & Zoomers told them they were lucky to be born into a Golden Age.

[TheUnusualSuspect @beerandtokens]

My brother in Christ.

In 1980 the home price to income ratio was 3.6x, now it’s 5x

In 1980 a degree cost 15% of the average annual income, today it’s 58%

In 1980 child care cost 7% of the median household income, now it’s 19%

In 1980 health care cost 10% the median household income, now it’s 21%

In 1980 the average car payment for a new car was 6% of the median household income, now it’s 13%

These are national averages, and not some anecdotal personal experience.

Idk why it’s so hard for people to do a little good faith research and just admit that life’s necessities are exponentially more expensive now than when they were young adults. It’s a crazy level of pride, arrogance and denial.

My ungrateful Zoomer son is all like "I worked hard, joined the military, avoided school loans, paid cash for my 100K-mile used car, got a good job with great pay, don't drink or do drugs, never go out, and can't afford $3,500 a month mortgage!" Yet he has PANTS AND SOCKS!?

[Baldwin The Anonymous Eagle @BaldwinTheEag]

This is an obvious take but 400k for a 9-5 job is S-tier life. There are not many 400k jobs that require less than 60 hours a week

If we’re committed to giving this advice, can we please stop scolding Zoomers that they live in the richest country in history. This is prison food. You can’t have this both ways my guys.

[Lo-Ping @GamingAndPandas]

"If u just eat bread & water for 3 years you'll have the down payment on a house from 3 years ago. But unfortunately it's increased in those 3 years, so you're going to have to do another 3 years of bread & water I'm afraid."

*3 yrs later*

"Bro you'll never guess what happened"

[Brad @bradtherambler]

I’m generally a live within your means guy, but acting like we shouldn’t be able to complain about affordability and have to eat like we’re on war rations is ridiculous. Even when I’m shopping on a budget for groceries I end up having to spend over 100 bucks regularly.

[bumbadum @bumbadum14]

OH SOMEONE THINK OF THE BOOMERS.

THEY PACKED THEIR LUNCHES!!!

THEY WAITED TABLES TO PAY FOR COLLEGE!!!

THEY HAD TO SAVE FOR 2 YEARS FOR A DOWNPAYMENT ON A HOME
:((((((((

[Alex Reimer @AlexReimer1]

I love this trick from baby boomers. Make things insanely unaffordable and do not raise workers’ wages. Then, complain that young people spend too much money on frivolous activities like eating lunch.

[Eric Spracklen 🇺🇸 @EricSpracklen]

homes aren’t selling because they are overpriced by 30-50%

[Amelia @amelia_tweetz]

Since Mike Johnson says members of Congress don't make enough money with just their salaries, may I suggest:

- Dialing back on those streaming subscriptions
- Reducing your cell phone plan
- Taking public transportation
- Eating cheaper cuts of meat
- Eating in more often
- Turning off the lights when you're not in the room
- Getting a part-time job at Walmart
- Growing a f-cking spine and stop whining

Signed,
Everyone trying to eke out a living in your shitty economy
