There’s too many ways to make money to do it miserably

Now that I’m done shitposting, real talk. Yeah inflation is a b!tch. The cost of goods is insane. House prices are ridiculous. As are interest rates. I have 2 zoomer daughters. I worry about them all the time. I don’t know how they’ll afford a home, groceries, or anything else. Even in Michigan, a decent COL area, starter homes are $400k+. But the whole point of my Boomer-ish takes on this app are because of one fact: This isn’t going to change any time soon. You are wasting your time rage posting and getting bent out of shape on social media. Instead, do something about it. Find ways to save money. Increase your skills. Job hop to increase income. Grind, hustle, and do what you gotta do. When I first started teaching the old head union dudes would pressure me to go to protests in Lansing (capital building). They’d say “we are going to yell and scream until we get what we deserve!” I never went. It rubbed me the wrong way. I’m not about to whine, cry, beg, and complain about “the system” or “the man”. Because it’s damn near impossible to change that. But it’s not overly difficult to change yourself and your situation if you have some perseverance, grit, and a baseline of intelligence.

Reporter: Are you attending your son’s wedding? Trump: He’d like me to go. I’m going to try. I said, this is not good timing for me. I have a thing called Iran and other things. He’s a person I’ve known for a long time.
