Gottem

@whiteshadow_001 @Steezehuman Like ur chance of success going into trade is double the chance you even USE ur degree to get a job in your entire life, much less actually succeeding while using it.

@whiteshadow_001 @Steezehuman No the OP is definitely dumb as hell, they make bad financial decisions, I don’t have beef with you. just preaching college as the go to while it’s the worst choice. For 2/3 people it’s just a waste of time n money they never use their degree. 75% of the time a trade will work

@whiteshadow_001 @Steezehuman You are preaching getting skills and telling people to go to college, those 2 things are so conflicting, school(including college) teaches you to be a society slave, it’s literally the reason why they were made with the curriculum they have, and it has never changed.

@MOEatMiles @Steezehuman Did I say it wasn’t a struggle? No. The comment I commented under said it wasn’t back then and it isn’t now. The point of my post is that it’s factually financially harder to live now than it was back then. And that is a fact.

@gottem69 @Steezehuman Back then most households had one earner and mothers could raide their kids. It was still a struggle. Now both parents have to work and it’s a struggle. Why don’t you get every generation has it’s own?

@whiteshadow_001 @Steezehuman Since when is it required u have ur own vehicle for blue collar work? 65% of people have their license by the time they turn 18. When you get hired into blue collar work u start as an apprentice, they fucking teach u the job.

@whiteshadow_001 @Steezehuman Don’t fucking listen to this clown. get a blue collar job, college degrees don’t do shit, most likely u will just waste ur time and money anyways. Only 1 in 3 people ever use their degree during their entire lives. Go into debt by 200k and lose 4 years of life for nothing…

@MOEatMiles @Steezehuman Oh and u would be paying these prices making 16k a year. Good luck! U got it! Affordable right? I think so, it seems very affordable, I should have my own house by 30 even tho it takes 20 years to save for one, atp u might as well say I should retire and 25 and id be fine 💀

@MOEatMiles @Steezehuman I dont understand what you are not getting, in comparison if pay was the same still a house would cost about 200k on average. A new car would be 15k a used car 7k on average. A movie ticket would cost $7. A stamp would be $0.80. Milk(gallon) and eggs(dozen) would be $2 .

@TheVictorRios1 @j9sween1 @Hal45888 @Steezehuman Prolly per line if I had to guess LOL, 22 a month for the whole family plan would be some mint mobile x cricket super duper cheap old balding head crazy limited time deal 😂😂

@j9sween1 @Hal45888 @Steezehuman $22 per month? 😂

@Hal45888 @j9sween1 @Steezehuman Wow this comment is braindead, I’m 22, I pay 150 A MONTH for ALL utilities a month. 3 people live here, that’s 50 a month each for water and power. I have Xfinity, it’s 45 bucks a month. Car insurance I agree with but 190 a month OP has 2 nice a car for his pay or 2 much coverage

I am in Mass as well, utilities are out of control and a water bill that low you must shower at planet fitness and capture rain water to wash dishes lol I also live in a city that you can only get xfinity so you dont have many any real alternatives. Also car insurance paid by your employer is a luxury 99% of ppl dont have. I agree people need to be able to sacrifice and budget better but this whole "eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and have nothing" boomer bs is annoying hell

@LetJeffTalk @whiteshadow_001 @Steezehuman Oh also, there is 2 types of blue collar jobs that make under 18, and they make 17 entry most of the time with full benefits included(overall ur making more money). And that’s manufacturing plants and general laborers(you carry heavy shit basically)

@LetJeffTalk @whiteshadow_001 @Steezehuman You literally can’t get a blue collar job without the skills? Hello that’s the whole point of the fucking job???? Average blue collar worker in the US makes 26 an hour and that’s NON union, it’s $38 unionized. That’s over double.

@LetJeffTalk @whiteshadow_001 @Steezehuman Also u clearly do not know how debt manifests. I get what ur saying, but a plan doesn’t do shit for you unless u have money or a sure fire way to get it, which a plan doesn’t not do. If u do have the money, best case scenario, u wasted years of ur life 💀 u ain’t using ur degree

@gottem69 @whiteshadow_001 @Steezehuman You only go into debt if you don't have a plan before you go into college. Blue-collar skills jobs are fine, but if you have no skills, you aren't always going to make over $18 because you'll be doing the grunt work.

@lovey1424 @sylateral @Steezehuman Sorry but, no you did not 😂I’m a single parent, this comment makes me think you aren’t a parent at all period 💀 or u are a shit one, sorry but there are 168 hours a week, ur telling me u spent ur remaining 40 hours a week to COMPLETELY take care of 2 kids? Horseshit.

@sylateral @Steezehuman I worked 80 hours a week with 2 young children as a single parent. Time to type complaints means you have time to get to work.

@sylateral @Steezehuman nobody works 400 hours a month, it’s physically and mentally impossible. also maybe ur should practice basic math for 400 hours. 400/30 is 13.33 and 400/31 is 12.91… not sure where u got 14.3 from. Also ur getting taxed, take home is 4.5k ish, 3x hours for 2x money, ur smart

@Steezehuman if you work 400 hours a month -> 400 * 18 = 7200 7200 - 2780 = 4420. Makes 14.3 hours a day, every day. Kinda hard, but u gotta work hard like our grandparents did!

@JoshuaO29246378 @PSU_Patriot @Hal45888 @Steezehuman I make 13 an hour a little more than half time, I thrive, I have a few hundred extra bucks AFTER bills every month, so yea… the OP is a fucking idiot, he needs to get a roommate, get a shittier car or lower coverage, and not get fucked by his utility and internet companies

@PSU_Patriot @Hal45888 @Steezehuman That’s not living above your means that’s just simply living, could u explain how anything that was mentioned could even qualify as living above their means ?

@Hal45888 @Steezehuman “Get a roommate, and don’t spend 90% of ur take home pay on rent” - Me and anyone else with any common fucking sense Shut up dumbass 💀 the op not making it is the op being a fucking idiot

@Steezehuman "Move 2,000 miles away to a rural area, eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches 4 times a day, dont have children, work multiple jobs and also invest 20% of your income into a retirement account"- Retard boomer probably

@Carlhose @Steezehuman Or maybe, just maybe, the OP could not spend 90% of his take home on rent and get a fucking roommate 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 maybe they should take some finance classes or smth, or maybe just maybe, idk have some common fucking sense?

Queue the dumbasses that say work harder. You all are the ones that are brainwashed by this country into thinking we're supposed to work three or four jobs to fucking live so they can line their pockets, take our taxes, and allow us to retire at 65 or 70. You're the sheep. You've been trained to believe getting fucked in the ass is OK.
