People need to stop expecting other people to give a fuck about them. Rich people don’t care, government don’t care, strangers don’t care, men don’t care, women don’t care. Just do what you want and except that problems exist because other people aren’t incentivized to solve them. Morality doesn’t exist it’s just people pushing others to get what they want. At the end of the day you get what you deserve.

I'm an early millennial, so I got to see people 5 or 10 years older than me get all of these great things that was promised to us as I was growing up. Then I hit the same age where they got success, putting in the same and often more effort into "doing things right," like working hard, doing my best in school, avoiding drugs, crime, debt, and so on, and got nothing. And that kept happening as I hit each milestone. Person 5-10 years my senior: gets girlfriends, gets a good job, gets married, gets a house, gets kids. People my age: Shitty job, rented apartment, and a nearly thirty year old car. I have seen some people my age who did succeed, but it seems to be more random chance and nepotism than effort that got them there, and it's not a lot of people my age that had success in life, as compared to the near universal number of people who succeeded who are just a bit older. When it comes to people 15-20 years older than me even the laziest, shittiest garbage people somehow have a house, wife, and kids. Sure, since they are shitty people their marriage is usually pretty unhappy and their kids don't like them or outright hate them, but they still got 'em.

If it was made to make you prepared for life, it would teach, how to get a job, how to be socially adept and function in a community. Taxes if thats one thing you have to do yourself, loans, ect. Its dishonesty at the highest level, also why arent we being paid to be in school? We are educating ourselves to become functional in society, we should be an investment, instead we are a cashcow. :(

That was on a moderate 35/40k salary from 2014-2020 - my income now net, not gross is also close to 8x that in the span of a few years. Just be ready, the window will come again.

If you think I'm wrong, you can always take out a credit card (you will get approved, and within a few months of not being irresponsible you will have a higher limit if you ask for it), borrow money with it via a cash advance, and deposit that money in a brokerage account to buy stocks.

Leave the military out of this and stop trying to look down on people who actually served and contributed to their country! The military is a Profession and if you actually don’t waste the opportunity, you will come out ahead of more than half the general public. For myself, I went in at age 17, did almost 23 years until I retired at age 39. Was both enlisted (E-6/SSG/Medic) and officer (O-4/Major/Military Intelligence). Was able to obtain 3 degrees, one while in the military and 2 after I retired, which was all earned and free due to my service. Purchased and still own 3 houses (1 primary residence and 2 rental properties), in which all 3 were new construction and I also own 2 lots of land that I plan on building other rental properties on. Also, I make 6 figures from my military retirement check and 100% VA Disability check together, which is far more than the average person with or without a degree make. I’m fully invested in the stock market and own crypto. Actually some of your most successful people either served in the military or their parents were in the military. So, I’m guessing that you never served in the military or if you did, you wasted the opportunities and benefits of being in the military. So what do you do, how much do you make and what do you own??? I’m waiting!!!

Calling something a "low-education job" with the implication that you have to be educated to be good at the job, is part of the problem. I am a comminty college dropout. I got hired at a small business retail store. After 2 years a government policy nearly destroyed the business, I came forward with an idea for a entirely new category of products to sell. The owners figured they don't have much lose and they let me implement my vision. Boom, 250k added to yearly revenue at 50-60% margin. They promoted me to manager, I had to learn how to run a business by actually doing it and knowing that if failed, I don't eat. Fast forward to 2020, saw the opportunity to introduce another entirely different category of products and this time it added 500k in yearly revenue at 60-70% margin. All of this took place while the other manager with a 4 year degree in business never had any creative ideas, constantly doubted mine, and held his degree over my head. Remember: a degree is not a certificate of intelligence, all it means is you paid money to have someone give you the answers, and you answered the questions correctly.

Exactly. I take pride in being able to come up with creative ways to solve new issues. I would love to drop out of college and gain real hands on experience in the engineering field by getting my hands dirty but that’s just not possible anymore. You NEED a degree to even get your foot in the door at most companies. For me a degree doesn’t mean anything. It means i have a piece of paper that lets me into the interview room. Thats it.

I'd like to agree, cuz I always operate on the mentality of "if you have the mindset for it" you can make it work. Unfortunately however, the situation has vastly changed from when you first started that retail job of yours. Most managers don't take in creative new ideas anymore unless the business is literally about to go bankrupt. People at lower/base level "uneducated" job level get let off all the time because it's easier to automate that type of working process than to try ans get these people into the field. Not everyone who's a college dropout will have the same creativity as you and without either the mindset or the degree their chances of getting an even slightly sustainable job get lowered significantly. Nowadays you need either 4 of experience or a whole Master's Degree to get into a good ENTRY level positions and after several years of that only then you may dream of rising through the ranks. It's ridiculous how badly the system is set up against. Unless ofc you cheat and exploit the loopholes.

As Millenials (from SE Asia), me and siblings are somewhat lucky our Boomer parents used to work with the gov and got pensions today just to maintain the current family home. But because of my eldest brother's biggest financial disaster, we had to mortgage the house, and now are selling it without any hope anyone else can afford to buy it as it is but a 40yo crumbling terrace house we the siblings can't even renovate as we're essentially penniless. But, thank goodness the whole family still have one last backup plan; that is the recently paid off grandma's home in my father's hometown. We plan to move all the way back to there when this current family home is sold. If it's ever sold, that is. All I know is that when my parents will be gone in 10, 20 years me and my siblings will essentially be headless individuals without an original family home as the centre. Even the grandma's home in different state might need to be sold off to a wealthier family to help the eldest brother pay off his credit debts.

@twistedspine7300 You make a great point and are 100% correct. I made terrible decisions in my life from my early 20s to about 32 when I finally came to my senses and started putting my life back together. (Involved in crime and drugs. I completely destroyed my life. Hell is real - it is a place we create for ourselves, I've been there. But I clawed my way out.) Because of those bad life choices, I am essentially a decade or so behind in my life that I am making up for now. Which is why I work so hard now. Had I not squandered that precious time, I will always be behind my peers who made better choices in life. I commend your honesty. I'm an open book about my life and those wasted years. Was witness to and was involved in a lot of horrible things. Thankfully, I came out the other end alive. Took me nearly three years to rehabilitate myself. While I am not caught up to my peers financially, those years did gift me with a wisdom and life experience that I could not have garnered otherwise. However, if there were a "rewind" button - I probably would press it and knock sense into younger me.

He did it by buying cheap property building a house using connections he had in the trade. There is no cheap land anymore, material costs are so high he could afford them let alone the labor. And a steelworker adjusted for inflation makes much less now than back then. He put 5 kids in college. They all got bachelor's. If he tried that today or even 10 years ago I'm sure there would have been fentanyl overdoses in the family tree.

It’s not even that the low skill jobs are automated, its that they don’t pay enough to live unless you have two or three of them. You have to work so much just to get by that there’s barely anytime left over for anything else. This is why no one is having kids as well. We have to work more so there’s less time for building a family, less time for building skills. Not to mention we’re so busy trying to afford food and rent we can’t afford to go to school.

But I made it up due to a discussion which was outside of school and then research on my part. And I think I would have been better off if I were in more cases forced to seek more of my own answers, rather than having them shoved down my throat.

Im between all that gold was devalued for politics (FDR). End the fed. Exchange in gold. End welfare programs. The world will make sense again. There are no free lunches. Never had.

Same with the exception of one job. My last job I was lead foreman. Took 7 years and 3 promotions to get there. I was laid off from that position in 2020. 2021 they brought on their brother in law as my replacement. Nepotism is a very real issue in the workforce for many. Many intelligent, hard working individuals are passed over for friends or family who are completely incompetent for the tasks of their role. P.S. that company did end up shooting themselves in the foot. I just read a job posting and they are looking for a lead foreman, crew foreman, as well as 8 laborers. That means they lost ALL their employees in 4 years as they only run two on-site crews. One crew foreman was the owners youngest son. Each crew is 4 laborers and one crew foreman lol. I guess it's possible he could be higher than crew foreman now though but that would still mean they lost all of their laborers in 4 years.

We couldn't afford allowances. My mum couldn't even afford our school lunches, but she didn't want the other students to bully us for "being poor" (which happened a LOT and was one of my brother's big fears cuz he got bullied a lot already). Not realising that my mum couldn't even afford normal lunch and went without for a lot of basic needs, I secretly saved up my lunch money ($2 a day) every day so I could buy a single volume of a manga/comic on Friday after school, which I started to do after some of my friends made fun of how I chewed (before braces, I had a misshapen jaw where my jaws could only close at the back, meaning I could only chew with my back teeth. So, my friends at the time said I chewed like a cow. I became too embarrassed to eat in front of others after that.). My mum became very upset, understandably, when she found out I wasn't eating just so I could buy some manga that she otherwise couldn't afford. But after that initial upset, she was okay with me choosing how I spent my lunch money so long as I spent it on lunch on days I was actually hungry, which I did. But yeah. I never really learnt how to spend or budget, etc, because we didn't have the money to. I know how to save short-term or long-term to save up for things I want (like travelling abroad) but, like... I don't know how to invest it to generate more money, etc, and I can definitely overspend from time-to-time. I've recently been reading up on how to invest, like with stocks and such in hopes I can change that.

I am an accountant and using all deductions legally available my families heating and cooling company was being taxed over 65%. The majority of the tax came from local sources. Every single small town we worked in required us to buy a business license, an additional insurance policy, building permits and pay up to $500 for being properly federally licensed and having it be on record in their town. Each one would cost around $500- 1K but when you have to keep travelling for jobs it adds up to around 65K per year in just local taxes. The tax line on our income statement rivaled the cost of materials. We closed our business when we realized that the local governments were trying to strongarm us into raising our hourly labor rate and honestly the average person couldn't afford our services even though we priced low compared to the market. Its all people who sit on their butts taxing those who do actual physical labor so our response is sit in the heat and collect taxes because your AC is broken and there is no one willing to fix it for the price you can afford. The home builder we used to work for folded after we quit because they couldn't find anyone else licensed to do the installs and pull permits.

Highest state tax bracket is about 13%. Highest federal tax bracket is 37%. FICA (Social Security and Medicare) is about another 6% on top of that. So in principle you could be paying 54%...if you live in California and your adjusted gross income is vastly in excess of $500k. Which it shouldn't be, because at that point you should be using one of the many strategies that exist to pay lower taxes than someone with equivalent cash-only compensation would pay.

Minimum wage increase unfortunately is not the answer, since so much power has been consolidated as soon as minimum wage increases all services and goods will just correct themselves within the same month. In fact it makes the situation worse, because now people who are not working or are leeching from for instance renters need more money to make things workout which means in relation to the old non raised wages the tax payer needs to pay even more, Harvard school of business did an horrifying but interesting paper about that a couple of years back. Now if you can somehow stop the automatic price adjustments done by algorithms it might work.

You can’t force labor to be more valuable. It’s simply doesn’t work like that. First thing is to stop the flooding of labor into the market. You ever go to fast food place recently? By me on Long Island, it went from mostly kids to almost all adult Spanish speaking immigrants. In fact, where I live, pretty much every store I go into is filled with these people. I hear Spanish everywhere I go. The dramatic change has all happened in the past five years.
