Errm... anon I just want to point out that in most civilized countries they have government provided healthcare and you pay on average 4x for healthcare. When your government eventually rolls it into tax, you're completely fucked (doctors will not take a paycut).

"Mom, all this stuff is junk. I don't value it - I value you - and once you're gone, this stuff will mean nothing to me. Anything I can't find a use for will either be donated or thrown away because selling this kind of stuff is almost impossible, and sorting through it all would take time I simply do not have. Please, do not buy any more stuff. It will get thrown away. It's a waste of money that I could be using to start a family of my own."

She'll be mad as fuck, but you might get through to her in the end, especially with that last part (potential grandchildren). People use their children and "inheritance" as an excuse to keep accumulating more garbage to satisfy their spending/hoarding impulse, so you have to shatter those delusions with brutality.

They hate you. You were an inconvenience, someone they created as a matter of course, and they birthed you into their world, which they did nothing to improve. They gave birth to you on a ship which was burning because they set it on fire, and sinking because they couldn't be bothered to maintain course. Then they plundered the ship. That is our inheritance. Imagine the sociopathy/psychopathy one must be afflicted by in order to create a human being, with not a care in the world beyond your own lifetime, and wanting to not here one word of concern from your own blood as to what world you have left them.

This is the bigger one. A lot of fresh grads still hold FB/MS/Amazon/Apple in very high regard, so they won't do anything that will upset them. An entire generation of yes men.

Meanwhile, I can't find resources to build shit because no one wants to build anything unless it has a chance of getting them noticed by the big 4.

I was never good at standardized tests due to my autism (yeah, I actually have it) because my attention span is fucked to hell.

I also went to a private college that loved teaching breadth of knowledge instead of depth. So, while I may suck at algorithms, I am very good at communicating with people and ensuring software is maintainable and scalable.

The depressing part is that in the early 00's, he spent many thousands of dollars on model trains thinking they'd be an investment because reasons.

Ended up selling them a few years ago for a massive loss, like pennies on the dollar, to one of those stores that sells things on ebay because he "couldnt figure out how to".

I understand they're his to do as he pleases, but fuck man, I grew up on bologna sandwiches and PB&J as a kid, and my folks carried credit card debt so he could spend the money on these things.

If its any reassurance, my GF and I are both great with money. I save much of what I make. Both our vehicles are paid for and we plan to drive them another 10+ years at a minimum. Most of my clothes I still have from high school. We cook almost all out food in house. Its comfy as frigg mane.

They hate you. You were an inconvenience, someone they created as a matter of course, and they birthed you into their world, which they did nothing to improve. They gave birth to you on a ship which was burning because they set it on fire, and sinking because they couldn't be bothered to maintain course. Then they plundered the ship. That is our inheritance. Imagine the sociopathy/psychopathy one must be afflicted by in order to create a human being, with not a care in the world beyond your own lifetime, and not wanting to hear one word of concern from your own blood as to what world you have left them.

"How dare you inconvenience me by telling me to look upon my work. I have my house, my entertainment, my toys. You have my debt. This is what I care for. Money, Big Macs, television. Now shut your fucking mouth."

If your car breaks even 1 time you will likely be paying the same amount as a lease over the same time period. You have increased liability for no added benefit. Owning is for cucks. Not to mention my payments are 40% lower, no down payment, no maintenance and I get a brand new car every 3 years that never is out of its warranty at any point. Feels good not falling for boomer memes.

If you're buying at 3 years and selling at 8 you'll wind up losing 15% of your initial capital on each vehicle, or 3.2% annualized.

Leases are typically around 4% - on the price of the NEW car, which which is twice as much as the price of the 3-year-old one.

It's not even close. The other poster who claims he "lost $20k" buying a used car was probably buying a Ferrari or something and was going to wind up bankrupt no matter what he did.

Millennials only hope of living the boomer lifestyle is to have rich parents, get a good trade job, or to go into tech. From a financial perspective I get it but people fail to realize that we are losing a large piece of our humanity and the human spirit by basically telling everyone that they either have to do manual trade labor or be a programming junkie glued to a computer forever. Basically anything pertaining to the arts that embodies the human spirit is being gutted and turning us into empty shells, and nobody seems to notice.

Boomers were not better off than millennials. They lived in the smaller houses, had shittier cars, and made less income. The ONLY reason it seems that life was "better" back then is because modern america is degenerate and the only way to escape it is to join the upper classes.

Go to any middle class neighbor hood from the 60's nowadays and it'll be infested with minorities and broken families. Drug use, obesity, zero family values, and absolutely no community involvement.
