  1. He came from poor family and got up. He has right to preach and so do I. I also came from poor family with drug addicts, alcoholism and gang members included in. Yet I live good life now. Everyone can make good decision.

  2. It's not what he said. You seem to think that it's either to be poor or millionaire.

  3. Why do you have a dog? Also depends where you're trying to buy a house from. Let me guess? California? XD Let's make comparison. I was born in poor family where we sometimes couldn't even afford to have food. There was drug addiction, alcoholism and gang members related to my childhood as well. I suffered from OCD, clinical depression, Asthma, Stuttering and shyness. What changed? I worked and practiced to overcome stuttering. I used my will power to resist OCD. I found motivation within myself to get over depression. I got over shyness by forcing myself to social events and getting used to socializing with people by trial and error. Now I'm in upper-middle class. Without doubt you most likely are just throwing excuses for your own failures and don't want to admit your flaws. There is literally youtube channel for this. Where they look at people like you and find out that you're just being irresponsible in spending.

  4. He spoke from personal experience and so can I. "Most people i know did go to college," To study what? Feminist dance lessons?

  5.  @JohnKerbaugh  layoffs, get a new job or stable job. Medical debts is just pure RNG however that's also usually covered by insurances or by the state. Stop making excuses, only thing stopping you is yourself.

  6.  @Kepesk  his anecdote proves that one can rise up. If you fail then it's up to your own mistakes. Stop blaming others for your own poor decisions. I have never met a person whom I couldn't find reason for their own fall was themself.

  7.  @JohnKerbaugh  i went through worse and now in upper middle-class. Your world view is flawed. This wouldn't be possible if you were right

  8. They are better. You're literally having access to things that kings of the past would've killed for.

  9. People in poor countries support families as large as 12. You can easily do the same in rich country. You just don't want to lower your life standard.

  10.  @magikazam8430  expect it's real. Unlike you, I grew up in poor family where we sometimes couldn't even afford food. We had issues with drugs, alcohol and were related to gangs. I personally suffered from stuttering, asthma, OCD, clinical depression, very shy as well. Yet I managed to overcome all of these hurdles and now I'm in upper-middle class. My entire existence is evidence against your world view. I wouldn't be able to be where I'm if you were right. Oh and talk about houses... You do realize you can literally buy house for less than 20k in USA? I bet you never even bothered to check housing market.

  11.  @jborrego2406  You can literally buy a house with 20k. Have you even bothered to look housing market? xD

  12.  @magikazam8430  1. I hardly doubt you have, and your comment of becoming middle-class proves me right not wrong. Do you really lose buying power? Last time I checked computers at your grandfather's time did cost millions. Now you have far more advanced piece of machine in your pocket than art-of-the state of the time. All with far more cheaper price. Increasing payroll doesn't solve issue of supply for the demand. 2. Boomer could do no such thing and cars at the time were far cheaper to produce. Less regulations and other costs. Not to mention increase in technology increases the demand of new resources for the cars. Thus increases the cost. However I'm pretty certain you can get better car than boomer could at the time for same price. You just complain that you can't have Ferrari for 10 bucks. 3. Literally is since I wouldn't be able to exist without you being wrong. "were in a double recesion post covid" That's funny... My life got 2x better during covid and 1.5 better post covid. As I said... Excuses. 4. Because last time one of you guys claimed that your grandparents could buy house for 20k and now it's impossible. I proved them wrong with simple google search. "with 20k you can maybe afford a rural 1 bedroom small container house." 3 bed rooms and big house. You clearly never have looked into housing market in USA. 14k 3 bedrooms and one bathroom. In canada. Source Zillow. This is hilarious. Let me guess... You tried to find house from the most popular city and district? xD

  13.  @johnng120  exactly, I grew up poor as well. There were times when family barely could even afford to buy food. These people are just spoiled kids who thought that everything in life would be handed to them.

  14.  @tedder92  we are most spoiled generation. The fact that you don't see it just shows your own bias. Look things objectively, better technology. Access to luxurious goods that didn't even exists before. Really your only issue that you can't have same house as a movie stars have for couple dollars.
    2
  15.  @tedder92  If it's objective then you should be able to form argument for it instead of just claim it. Numbers and statistics are meaningless unless backed up with arguments and sources. Not to mention context. "The middle class is shrinking. " But lower class isn't increasing... Which means..? Can you do the math? " last 40 years" IF you buy same stuff from 40'years ago you would actually get it cheaper now. What you really want is the new stuff which production is more expensive.

  16. @TryHarderManiac since when saying facts was trolling?

  17. @TryHarderManiac truth seems to trigger some people, such as yourself. I have a job as I said in this comment section before.. I'm in upper-middle class and have a family.

  18. ​ @smania7575  If you knew how to read. You would pick from the thread that I had terrible childhood. I never used it as excuse to stop growing and now I'm succesful. I'm not even boomer. Unlike you I'm just not hugeL who uses excuses for lack of success.

  22.  @cascade1788  not really, All the houses I checked looked more than decent. " why do we have to work harder" You don't have to work to own house? Why are you muricans so obsessed about owning a house? "Success stories are exceptions to the general rule" That's not how science works. IF I Can do something then anyone can do the same. You're just being lazy and throw excuses. "Then who would work the other jobs that society needs?" If you're middle-aged man who works in mcdonalds then you already screwed things up. These sort of jobs are for young students and people who are still building experience. Not for middle-aged people. So who will work? The youth, like it always have.

  24.  @ZephyrDaze  I came from poor house hold with shitty parent's and "didn't get luckY". I'm now in upper middle-class. What is your excuse for your failure?

  25.  @JohnKerbaugh  what's your excuse?

  26.  @ZephyrDaze  I'm also in spectrum of autism. Don't use it as excuse. Just because you struggle to understand human interaction naturally it doesn't mean that you can't learn it by reading or trial and error. In fact retail works is worst place for someone who has autism since struggle with talking to people. There are plenty of fields where this isn't necessary and can earn pretty well. Truck drives in general earn good living and it doesn't take social interaction or high intelligence.

  27.  nicolasgirard2808  exception to the rule is fallacy. There is no exception to laws of nature. Ever heard that correlation does not imply causation? Ever considered that people with poor genome would usually make poor offsprings that aren't capable to rise up even if given better zip code?

  28.  @tedder92  well that's different from blaming boomers. Your "issue " is clearly caused by sudden growth of population. Oh and btw... i could find house in usa for 20k dollars. You guys never even bothered to do fact checking

  29.  @tedder92  You are when you're talking that Asmon is delusional and not tied to reality. For this generation it's actually easier than for any. So much access to free information to educate yourself... So much access to easy ways to earn money... So much better healthcare, and overall luxurious goods than ever before. We are literally most spoiled human generation that has ever existed on this planet.

  30.  @tedder92  Not true, defination of lower class has changed and depending who you listen it has grown or lowered. Fact is that there are now more middle-class jobs out there than ever before. Price inflation is subjective. Depends which products you're pricing here. You talk about rent now, but you totally disregard states limiting construction and making it high regulated to the point that it's more expensive now to build new apartment than it was in 80's. Average cost depends on which state you live in. You can easily find house for 20k dollars and less in some states. Also you're talking about post-corona inflation prices... You're just spoiled kid who doesn't know how good things are for you. This is too easy. So what is your excuse for failing at everything in life?

  31.  @kronos0316  Millenials and Z's are very poor at handling money. They think if they can't party every day and drink 10 coffees in starbuck each day, that they are poor in that case.

  32.  @smania7575  Boomer age generation of people being born in certain time period. " We both graduated in 2008" okay boomer. 'Our cost of living has gone up almost $800/month over the last few years because of inflation." Yes inflation is a thing, that's how world works. What's your point again? "who rent since rent has seen increases much " Now you're talking out of your rear end. I'm living on rent. Gone up only couple euros since inflation started. "You are acting as if the cost of living has nothing to do with people's ability to succeed" Were living in age of free information. Only thing limiting yourself is yourself. Too easy!

  34.  @smania7575  again boomer thing isn't mindset. It's literally used to define people born in certain eras. And as if I care if you call me as boomer. It just means you're resorting to ad hominem after being humiliated in debate.

  37.  @smania7575  all you have done is twisting meaning of boomer while never addressing the point that one can succeed no matter the circumstances and that eve houses can be found for cheap. BIGL

  38.  @smania7575  Too easy, my original comment had following questions which you failed to answer: Why do you have a dog? Also depends where you're trying to buy a house from. Let me guess? California? With these I'm pointing out flaws in his reasoning. He clearly can't handle his finances and wastes money on starbucks everyday. You also ignored the fact that boomer is used to describe people being born in certain time period. It has nothing to do with mindset. You also ignored my point that rent haven't increased but couple euros and that were living in age of free information. You were incapable due to incompetence. as I said before... Too easy, you're not even capable to provide decent challenge.

  39.  @smania7575  yes and you replied to me. So greater context matters. I also did put there stuff there for you which you ignored. This is hilarious xD KEEP ON COPINL

  40.  @smania7575  Citation needed. :D You didn't address the fact we live in age of free information and that affordable housing exists, just not in the leftie states that you want to live in.

  44. You were 14.... Who in right mind would want to hire 14-year old? Not just that but it's illegal in the west in the first place. Also it's more than just experience, it's how you conduct during interview. What you named are fields where you need to be fluent in talking and dealing with people. The fact that you said that you're shy proves my point. You were social enough for those jobs where one needs to deal with people daily. Let's make comparison. I was born in poor family where we sometimes couldn't even afford to have food. There was drug addiction, alcoholism and gang members related to my childhood as well. I suffered from OCD, clinical depression, Asthma, Stuttering and shyness. What changed? I worked and practiced to overcome stuttering. I used my will power to resist OCD. I found motivation within myself to get over depression. I got over shyness by forcing myself to social events and getting used to socializing with people by trial and error. Now I'm in upper-middle class. What you are doing are excuses.

  45.  @MartinB_Art_Design  well on basis of what you said... You weren't applying to newspapers. Also as I already proved... My situation was worse and I got up on my own to high status. Excuses.

  46.  @MartinB_Art_Design  My backround came from one of the worst possible in my country. Not the worst possible, but something which you guys claim to be impossible to rise up from. Blame on your own decisions, stop blaming others for your own decisions.

  47. wages have moved, numbers don't lie. Prices are up because regulations regarding to housing.

  48. Loads of people on this comment section are making desperate excuses for why they failed. There are actual youtubers who go through these people's finances and life decisions and find out huge holes in them. They just refused to grow up and be accountable of their own lives. Basically adult babies.

  49. Only if they try to buy one in new york or California xD

  50.  @carlito19934  wrong, you can pay a house. Just look at different states than california. Also you're not taking into account inflation in housing prices. The inflation overall isn't that big if you take into account other products like bread price. Housing inflation is because democrats restrict how many houses you can make. It's purely man made issue by leftists.

  51. so you are basically adult baby?

  52. You're not taking into account that in USA some regions houses are still 20k. You just want to have a house in big city which limits how many houses there can be. This comes down... you being bad at decision making.

  53.  @TossGawd  I literally just did google search "west virginia house". clicked first real estate site and managed to find house for less than 20k. Keep on smoking that copium.

  54. Out of touch? He grew up in poor family. You clearly didn't watch it. I was born in poor family where we sometimes couldn't even afford to have food. There was drug addiction, alcoholism and gang members related to my childhood as well. I suffered from OCD, clinical depression, Asthma, Stuttering and shyness. What changed? I worked and practiced to overcome stuttering. I used my will power to resist OCD. I found motivation within myself to get over depression. I got over shyness by forcing myself to social events and getting used to socializing with people by trial and error. Now I'm in upper-middle class. What is your excuse?

  55.  @cascade1788  "he prices now are many times higher than they would be for the same income 50 years ago." Not true, you can still find houses for 20k and even less. You can buy same cars with lower prices than at the time. What you complain that new stuff is more expensive than the stuff in the past. While ignoring loads of regulations and added stuff in them. For example... computers in the past cost millions. Now you can have more powerful for less than 100 dollars. "everyone's situation and opportunities are completely different" Yes and mine were from the worst end of the situations and opportunities. Unless you have worse starting point than I... then you have no right to claim excuses why you failed. "I'm talking industrial roles, janitors, bin men etc etc." Same applies. "Do you ever see the youth taking those roles?" Yes I do. "If almost everyone" Argument from popularity by people who don't understand complex topics such as economics. "Have a little empathy for others." I have more than you, and unlike you I know the answer is to grow up and stop making excuses. "but the ideal family house you could have afforded 50 years ago is 10 times more expensive now. " What is ideal family house is subjective. You keep shifting the goalpost. " Of course the first computers cost millions, but a modern pc that runs all games will cost you a lot more now than than a modern pc 20 years ago. " Yes and games 20-years ago were worse as their computers were. You can still buy same computer and same games and for much cheaper price than 20-years ago. You literally complain that more advanced and resources demanding products should be same price as the much more simpler products of the past.

  56. Previous generations created pensions. You're millenial you're not even old enough to be on pension. Multiple homes was only thing because regulations were lower and there were more houses being build.

  57.  @user-gm4kv2my4u  They are. Though usually people who use anecdotes for excuses why they don't succeed at something... are leaving out some facts that were caused by themselves. For example overweight people actively lie what they eat and they mention "yeah I eat salad and diet coke a day". while leaving out what they ate before that salad or drank before diet coke. Usually when carefully examined all of these are excuses based on personal failures and decisions. There is even youtube channel going through people's spending and investment plans when they are broke. Everytime they blame society even though they are going on spending spree over their own means.
