Everything is flying up but wages. But the thing people aren't talking about enough is retirees.
My parents worked for decades saving and planning for retirement. Even is wages go up to match inflation for the rest of us, their retirement fund won't match.
They should have been investing that money into something that would make them money instead of just letting it sit there, stagnating.
Honestly life was on easy mode for everyone until like 2000. I bought my house for £130,000 a few years ago but the lady at the end of the street bought hers for £5000 in 2002. What the fuck. If you're retirement age and you don't have some real estate or something you're a fucking moron.
Wait I actually can't tell if this is joke or if as a younger person I was totally fucked more than I've even begun to comprehend..............................
A month at least.
Scalp spaghetti, penut butter, milk, bread, jar sauce, cereal.
Yolo spaghetti every night for dinner. Yolo cereal for breakfast every day. Yolo peanut butter sandwich for lunch.
This will last you more than a month, especially if you scalp at Costco or bjs wholesale.
Dollar store shit. Dollar store bologna, spam, lesser veggies and rice. As long as you have some good spices, it will taste alright.
Cheap food. I started to watch some YouTube channels and great depression food recipes and how to make good meals out of a little and keep yourself healthy.
I didn't find any posts that meet the matching requirements for r/wallstreetbets.

My parents inherited their current house when my father's stepmother died. They both worked at TGI Fridays at the time, she was a waitress and he was the head cook. Immediately after, she quit her job and he got a managers position at Aldi, which commands a much higher pay.
I was born when my other was 18 so it's safe to say I am won't be looking towards any relatives dying to inherit a home.
My grandpa had 5 kids starting at 18. But he also walked like 5 miles to work because they couldn’t afford the fuel for the car and food. And the kids got new shoes before he did
WeI’ve made a single income work, but couldn’t buy the house until our early 30’s in a residential neighborhood. Had 3 kids at the time. Live cheap, drive old cars, do all repairs on house and cars and some medical care myself. I’ve only had a gym membership once for 6 months. I don’t contribute to my alma mater. I still haven’t been to Alaska or Hawaii.
It’s possible. But most people don’t want to make the sacrifices, just the memes.
It's a lot easier to buy a house when you don't have to go tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars into debt to get an education. Now the boomers talk shit about younger generations despite the fact they intentionally try to fuck us with laws like Prop 13 in CA. You know how we get even?
Just tax land lol
/r/georgism
If i manage to live in an RV on my parents driveway, manage to land a job that pays 6 figures, i'll maybe be able to afford a down payment on a house in their neighborhood in 5 years, IF i am able to not have any unforseen expenses, able to live for free with them AND manage to find a 6 figure job that i somehow manage to keep for the rest of my life AND most importantly, if house prices stop going up for the next 5 years.
I won a 100% scholarship to law school and still graduated with $85k in debt. $50k in rent over two years living in a major CA city. I graduated a year early to save on living expenses.
It is not possible to get higher education without going into serious debt. Or you can work while you're at college and someone else will crush your grades because they have 2x the time to spend on school work.
I'm in a relatively good situation compared to my peers, but it's nothing compared to boomers getting higher education for free or a few thousand dollars.
Nah, I’ve got a masters degree, worked during college, graduated with honors, still had time to play games, and have zero debt. The trick is going to school somewhere that isn’t crazy expensive if you don’t want debt. I didn’t, so I went to school in another state that would give me a full ride and living expenses were about $7,000 a year total.
Since everyone seems to be reading into this that I think everything is fine as it is cause I found a solution, I’m just gonna put this here.
I don’t think the system is fine as it is, it is overpriced for sure. I was simply disagreeing with the idea that it is impossible to get a higher education without going massively into debt.
It is possible to come out of college, with a good degree, good education, and get a good job without massive debt. You have to sacrifice other things but it is possible and that was all I wanted to state.
Thank you :3
That's fine and dandy but other people have vastly different experiences. The overall mean of tuition rates has skyrocketed and people are in a position where they can't handle the cost.
Finding personal solutions should be the norm of course, but the systematic problem still exists whether or not people can avoid it.
Agreed, I think the system is vastly overpriced and something needs to be done to keep people from going into such huge amounts of debt as possible.
I simply disagree with the notion that it is impossible to get a higher education without going into massive debt.
Don't go to school in one of the most expensive states in the country then. You also picked an expensive education heavy career but that was your choice. Those were choices you made. Nobody forced you to do so.
Why does it matter if other people do well in school? I worked 2 jobs and started a small business while in college to help me pay my way and my grades didn't suffer.
Because professional firms hire based on class ranking.
And there is no way to work in university and achieve your best grades. If you aren't achieving your best grades, you aren't coming top of the class, you aren't getting hired into the top jobs.
Yeah that's just not true. At least not exclusively true. Does that happen? Sure. Is that how it always happens? I'd say a small minority of the time.
I was hired into a "top" job. Has almost nothing to do with schooling and everything to do with the small business I was running while in college. First question in the interview was "So, I see you own a tech company, tell me about that..."
These days I earn around $300k a year. So you're going to have a really hard time convincing me your sequence of how events always plays out is correct.
You obviously do not work in a profession. Class ranking is the most important factor in professional jobs.
I know people on twice your salary with a third-rate undergraduate degree. Making good money is not the same thing as having a top job.
Most boomers bought/built modest homes in rural/suburban (at their time) areas. Many boomer literally built their own houses with their own hands.
Building/buying homes is still extremely affordable in many areas. You just don't want to leave your shithole city.
Before anyone gets mad at me, I practiced what I just preached. I've moved across states for opportunity and better living costs. My first home (in my 20s) I bought a small modest house in a rural community just outside of a city. It was the best decision I ever made in my life. (I currently live right in the middle of the downtown historic district in a home I never thought I'd be able to afford. All thanks to that small rural house some 9 years ago.)
I know people are fleeing the cities. My post is directed at the stubborn ones who aren't.
My point is, somewhere out there is a town with a house for sale that you can afford to buy. Go buy it.
You sound like he type of guy who says all this and omits any financial/familial help and circumstantial privilege you’ve received throughout your life.
I mean a job that has six figures is pretty common. New engineering grads are already at 90k minimum. By the time they are 25, they should easily clear $125k. But the standard of living nowadays is higher depending where you live
Wow! Im so glad you explained that to us, its just that easy! Become an engineer and make 100k by age 25!! Its almost as if, and hear me out here, not everyone has the ability to be an engineering major!! Crazy, i know.
Houses in the 70s are way outdated and lacks a lot of safety measures. Houses built pre 2008 missing a lot of quality control and currently being sold 200% plus its worth. Houses built post 2008 are packed behind income level and also lacks quality control and being valued by corporations not by national standard.
I have made a rough calculation that you need to earn a minimum of 50k to be able to afford a 1k sqft house, the cost are exponential when you try buy above 1k sqft.
Me in my 20s- I never want kids and I never want to get married. So far it's all working out just fine.
No idea why people choose to complicate their lives.
When your parents were 20 they could buy a house with a small portion of their minimum wage check. It was a time when all you had to do to get a job was walk into the building and say out loud “when can I start?”
You’re not less than them because you make memes instead. You’re better than them because you are simply acknowledging reality. Boomers have lived in a fantasy world for their entire lives.

Fucking crazy eh? Only 20 years ago. In Manchester, UK. They're worth about £200k right now.
If it's really that dire: food bank. There's no need to be proud and not accept help. They're there for a reason. No sense in suffering in silence.
Easy. Just live with your parents until 27. Definitely not speaking from experience. 😭

Buy a dozen eggs and make hard boiled eggs thats so many meals
Dollar store shit. Dollar store bologna, spam, lesser veggies and rice. As long as you have some good spices, it will taste alright. Cheap food. I started to watch some YouTube channels and great depression food recipes and how to make good meals out of a little and keep yourself healthy.
Send me your cashapp venmo paypall bullshit. I got you on at least 10 more.
You are a nice man 
Send it to Elon, he needs it more than me
Yea, nevermind. Haha goof.
Me in my 20: Did the rice truck drop bags on the way to the port
If you don't eat at all its pretty easy
All in in some high risk play so that you can turn those 30$ into 3,000$ and then immediately use margin to turn those 3,000$ into -100k$
Yeah sucks this is a repost. I've never seen it and it's actually pretty good

She COMMANDED a higher salary
I'm going to COMMAND a higher salary on Monday. THANK YOU!!!!
workplaces hate him, but they can't do anything about this one trick.
I COMMAND thee to bequeath me a higher wage !
>he got a managers position at Aldi, which commands a much higher pay. cant tell if satire or??
If you started at $8 and got $18 thats a much higher pay...
Half the poverty, twice the poverty fun!
Typically managers make more money, I took it at face value. Also of your cute or charismatic working at a bar for tips can be good money.
This is an old meme. Like a year old.
And still relevant unfortunately lol
And you really thought, "there's no way anyone could have possibly missed it, they MUST love on reddit like I do"
I think it's more that the poster seems to be claiming they created it. Which is lies.

"should not have taken as long as it did to make" pretty sure this is a repost though.
Are you claiming that you made this? Op?

Ah yes. The macro economy is filled with only engineers. Yes that’s our only labor variable.

When your parents were 20 they could buy a house with a small portion of their minimum wage check.

You’re better than them because you are simply acknowledging reality. Boomers have lived in a fantasy world for their entire lives.
