No one wants to work anymore because there is no reward. Half of us are living paycheck to paycheck. No saving for retirement. No saving for a house. Straight up two paychecks away from living on the street.
1/ On How Short Life Is
A few years ago, I was walking around in a blizzard in SoHo (New York). It was late, midnight, and it was beautiful.
Some friends, about 15 blocks away, called: "come over?"
It was late, it was cold, was tired, thought "maybe not worth it" but then...
my parents bought their house in 1976 for $58,000. in 2022 dollars, that would be $279,160.
their 2022 assessment valued the house at $2.09 million.
i don't think getting married at 34 instead of 24 is the reason my generation can't buy homes. thanks for coming to my ted talk.
I’m really sick of the idea that as “adults” we have to give up everything that is fun, like cosplay and video games and collecting toys. Most of us can only just start affording those things in our late 20’s/30’s.
