This is so close to someone explaining how polygamy is actually a really good deal for all parties involved, and the only reason it doesn't work out for everyone is because everyone isn't just like me.

Sadly sometimes I draw that same comparison but down to brass tacks, we're considering it primarily because we're poor and don't like the idea of work without enjoyment. More important to do what you want in life than what the internet tells you anyway.

This is an impressive list of bad decisions.

You've been in community college for 8 years for a loving business degree and you are afraid of a "long winded" 12 year track to an MD? Are you getting a PhD at that community college in steam/e-trade/fanduel fat-assery?

i went to school one time but then i realized i could just scam ppls pensions with forex and options trading and also build poo poo with my hands and do odd internet jobs and live pretty decently so i dedicated my time to finding eternal youth and found out its happening in south america

then some radical feminists that dont understand bandwagon theory tried to bill cosby me not realizing there were only 3 of them in totality that could bill cosby me if they put in a lot of effort

then there were rumors of some darknet video tapes and recordsing and i was like id like to see them :-)

then we rehabd the killers pedos and rapists in forest rehab communities with reality tv and ppl made money and the switch only took less than 4 years to turn into a progressive regime but no one even triemrs gallant had a fat pussy. i enjoyed the book freak the mighty euth novel

I'm 23, make 10$ an hr, and live several states away from my parents. I'm poor af and it sucks, especially when I see a lot of ppl my age where their parents pay for rent! Rent and utilities is like 60% of my income. My mom is an immigrant and essentially was a factory worker/sub teacher for her life. We were always lower class and she couldn't help me if she wanted to.

Yes id like to be a responsible independent adult but Jesus gently caress cant the min wage increase, and I commute to a lovely job via bus for over an hour and why the gently caress are luxury apartments being built everywhere when they're over $1000 per month. Who the gently caress can pay that?!?!

Essentially I think the lower class is getting really hosed over here. I'm worried for my older siblings because they are more hosed than me.

Do people not live with half a dozen roommates for most of their 20's or what? I remember being super excited at like age 25-26 when I got a full time gig paying $30k a year. Before that I think I hovered around 20-25k and somehow managed to pay $300-400 per month for a room in a group house.

This is becoming a big problem.

There is not one single mid-range apartment complex being built within a 20-mile radius of my city and all the old ones are being torn down.
All construction is on luxury units so now the only choices are a) granite countertops/bamboo flooring/75% of your paycheck and b) filthy trash heap that makes suicide seem inviting.
There is precisely nothing in between.

This affects everyone who is not a homeowner (not just millennials) and owning when you work in a fickle industry is just not practical.

I like those budget guides that state you should not spend more than 25% or 33% of your take home income on housing (utilities included).
This seems like a very realistical goal and totally achievable in cities where jobs actually are.

The scary part about this generation having to rely on the older generation's wealth and good fortune because of crippling school debt, the hollowing out of well paying secure middle class jobs, and explosive housing cost rises, is that the generation after them is going to have much less of a familial cushion to fall back on. There is going to be a huge slide into poverty for a large portion of the country, and there doesn't seem to be anything anyone can do about it so they just get angry and vote Trump or Bernie I guess.

Guess my experience would be included into this study. I lived with my parents until I was 28, which was when I got married and paid for the wedding on my own, moved into a 2 bedroom condo my wife and I bought, and then 5 years later bought my own house. If I didn't live all those years at home with my parents, then I never would have been able to save enough to do all that. It was worth it.

I guess so but that sounds lame as gently caress to me. Everyone needs a period of poverty, squalor, and 8am bong-rips in their life imho.

If you have never pissed in the cat's litter box because your roommates have the only bathroom tied up for hours loving in the shower, then I don't know how you would get on in life.
