@gowine504 Yeah? Severe neck and thumb pain from being head down over your phone?😂

 @Chad_Max GTFO with your masculinity BS. Working hard, saving and investing is a BEHAVIOR, not a gender.

@Cocoa_Kalypso Also, why are you assuming that higher costs wouldn't affect retirees on a FIXED INCOME? Lots of older people become homeless.

@BillyMartin68 Don't do it. The penalties on taking from a 401k or trad. IRA before 59 1/2 aren't worth it.

@JohnDoe-xd7he You have to work hard, save and invest. Just working hard alone and then blowing your money won't do it. Doing nothing so you don't "fall in the trap" is dumb. How many "pets" do you think a government already TRILLIONS of dollars in debt can afford to hoard?

@noctissky794 Like I was telling JohnDoe, you have to work hard, save and invest. Just working hard alone and then blowing your money won't do it. Just stacking the money somewhere means it loses value to inflation, so it needs to be invested in a manner that makes more than is lost to inflation.

@Cocoa_Kalypso DO NOT GET AN ADJUSTABLE RATE MORTGAGE. Get a fixed rate mortgage, even if it's higher now. Or save and pay cash for a used mobile home or fixer upper. Rent a spare bedroom out to help with costs.

@cs188creations Really? Why can't it go on? Corporations don't fear you. Revolutions aren't fought by lazy people who complain about the cost of their creature comforts. What's your better society and what's your plan?

 @stoddard1953 So, if learning to catch fish is "too hard", then "JesusChristisKing" should walk on water and bring you a net full of fish every day?

@colton_936 Guess what? No generation loved "the system" in their twenties!!! GROW UP AND DEAL WITH YOUR PROBLEMS. That's what an adult does, even if they did not cause the situation or things are unfair.

@neonnoir9692 Not true for all, of course, but social media has made mental illness trendy.

@BillyMartin68 It's the cold equations. More automation, (producing displacement) plus a higher population means more competition for jobs, and puts employers in a position to make tougher demands of employees who can easily be replaced.

"No opportunities"????You can invest from your PHONE! You have tax advantaged retirement accounts such as IRAs and 401ks. There's now a ZERO PERCENT tax on capital gains for people in the lowest income bracket.

@Diogenes76 It's more that people are laughing at " HaRD tHinG CAN'T BE DONE bEcAuSE it's HARD". I know what it is to work hard and still fall through the cracks because of circumstances. But you keep going until you get ahead.

@K.C-2049Was rent out of your control? Didn't you sign the lease and agree to pay that amount? When you pay more for something than you can afford, you have to make cuts somewhere else. Have some responsibility.
2
@N800-q1b Yeah, but the world where we get UBI just for existing and giving our feedback is NEVER COMING, so it still doesn't pay to be lazy.
2
@tn18977 Yeah, he would still get Social Security ( when he's old enough) but Medicare stops at the U.S. border.

@JJ-ml7wo Work hard when you're on the clock but don't work for free. Don't stay late off the clock or work through a lunch that is deducted.
1
@zenwilds2911 Yeah, right! Doctors make way less under socialized medicine! You claim that your parents were both doctors and med school would be a breeze for you, but you're too ignorant to know what AGING is? You think o.f. is a viable lifetime career? When there are so many other lazy 304s out there to compete with?

@trustoldpaths1415 IDK what this is, because under Socialism, everybody has to bust their butt at the factory or on the collective farm! Unless you're party chairman or whatever ..
1
@dixonvmusic2737 Yes, calling Grandpa names so he'll give you opportunities! That'll work!🤦 GROW UP and handle your situation like an ADULT. Regardless of whether it is "fair" or who caused it.
1
@v1v1d1ty Yeah, and of course the conclusion is "SOMEONE needs to fix this". 🤦 Not YOU, because hard work is for suckers! You want financial independence but you get tired just watching others work and save and "investing is for rich people"! What's your plan? To hope that taxes are increased on your hard worker friends so the government can send you a fat check every month when the " bank of Mom and Dad" closes?😂😂

@scalylayde8751 I can guaran-dam-tee you it doesn't involve living off the grid because that requires HARD WORK!😂 Also, that stuff at Tractor Supply ain't cheap!

@sl123sl IDK what this is, because no matter how diverse the workforce is, they're still there to WORK, and under Socialism, everybody has to bust their butt at the factory or on the collective farm! Unless you're party chairman or whatever .. I think this guy's going to find out pretty soon that "gimme or I'll hu®+ myself" only works on mommy and daddy.
1
@sl123sl IDK what this is, because no matter how d!verse the workforce is, they're still there to WORK, and under $0cialism, everybody has to bust their butt at the factory or on the collective farm! Unless you're party chairman or whatever ..

@zdlax Guess what? No generation loved "the system" in their twenties!!! You know what else? You are "one of THEM" to people not in your ideological group! GROW UP AND DEAL WITH YOUR PROBLEMS. That's what an adult does, even if they did not cause the situation or things are unfair.
1
@porkyrabbit Because money can ONLY be spent on rent, not saved to buy a car, house or invested for retirement! Also, roommates don't exist!--Zoomer logic.
1
@MethosReborn5930 It's what you keep. If you work hard and then blow your money, because that's what you see everyone else doing, you'll get nowhere. Live frugally, pay off debt (highest interest rate first) and max out 401k/IRA).
1
@gowine504 I had a guy tell me young people have " no choice" but to pay high rent because living outside of town means a long commute and getting up early!😂😂😂 Then another girl told me "nobody has any control" over what they spend on rent as if they didn't pick the place and agree to the price on the lease.Roommates, living with family, etc. are no longer a thing?
1
@gowine504 "HuRR, dUrr, bOoMurrr". Yeah, you're really debunking every word I said there, buddy!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
1
"Ooo, bOoMurrr trigGurD"-- @gowine504 I'd say you are. What is this exclusive "problem" you're talking about? And how was anything I said incorrect?
1
@gowine504 Boomers, GenX, and Millennials had roommates, but it's "tOO hArd and unFeASIBLe" for poor lil goWhine?? "ThING can'T bE DonE bEcause tHIng HARRD aNd noT fuN!!!"

@gowine504 I don't need Social Security. If I get old enough to get it I might just give it to charity. I worked from the time I was 13, lived frugally, saved and invested. You could do the same but probably won't because you sound really coddled and defeatist. You're content to wallow as long as you can blame the system and have an echo chamber to give you thumbs up.
1
@gowine504 Also, why is it you don't realize that older people on a fixed income are some of the hardest hit by inflation? Older people are one of the fastest growing segments of the homeless population.

@K.C-2049 If you're tired of being nagged to be responsible and control your spending,the answer is to be responsible and control your spending! 🤦What do you expect to accomplish by whining and telling others to shush?
1
@K.C-2049 Ok, if you DIDN'T sign the lease and AGREE to pay the monthly amount, you can LEAVE! Move in with family or be a roommate. Rent a spare bedroom in someone's house if you can't find your own apartment. Live in a van or RV. You CHOSE this situation, so stop playing helpless. Do you not get that rent control can backfire? If the government makes it LESS profitable for landlords, there's less incentive to build new units. This leads to more competition for existing units and HIGHER rent.
1
@pursegirly Use what you spend on purses to pay down any high interest rate debt and fund your 401k/IRA. It's what's INSIDE that counts!

@jennifermarie3158 While there's never going to be that perfect meritocracy, it is true that those who work hard, save, and invest do better than those who give up. Most millionaires in the USA are first generation. Also, being born wealthy doesn't guarantee you keep it. There are also plenty of people who are no longer well off, trying to maintain the lifestyle and keep up appearances.
1
@jennifermarie3158 Wow, you turned " live frugally" into " buy a $30, 000.000 RV you can't afford"? You should win the State Fair for Most Awesome Strawman Ever!🤦😂

Regulation and competition shut those kinds of jobs for kids down. I think it's good for kids to have an allowance because it teaches kids that are still too young to work to save up for what they want.

@horsesrlife5311 It doesn't exist for CITIZENS...If you're an illegal you could be working night shift scrubbing the killing floor of a slaughterhouse ( under an adult American's Social Security number).

@tbc9096 The ill eagles will. "They're taking the jobs we don't want" said Obama.

@jennifermarie3158 That's not how it works. Minimum wage increases are an incentive to AUTOMATE and reduce the number of staff . To use your example, compare the 1960s gas station ( with multiple attendants running out to fill the tank, check the fluids and clean the windows) to the self serve station of today. Any money the business (including apartment complexes) loses by having to pay more is passed to the consumer as higher prices.
1
@justadude117X Unlikely. Jobs are way easier to automate or outsource than they were 50-100 years ago. The people complaining the loudest on social media aren't willing to sacrifice their creature comforts to boycott anything.

@harris2284 The older generations worked and were taxed. How will the system work when nobody works and pays in?
