All it took was a bit of delayed gratification. You'll use Sillie as an example, but not me, I wonder why that is? Is it because I'm your age?I make between 60-65k a year with no debt and a large savings. I'm completely stable financially. I've never said I make 36k a year.
You still haven't argued the premise because you can't. I'll wait.

You have to argue this from a completely personal standpoint and brag about how well you're doing and that all 150 million can do the same!
You're arguing the premise of the OP and not the personalized focused argument to stroke your ego on how successful you are.
(kidding obviously).

And my brother doesn't have a degree, or any advanced training, he started from zero.You made $12 an hour your first job. Multiply that by 2,030 for the yearly salary. That's $24,360 in 1993. That would 50k in 2023 with inflation. That's 10k over the average entry level job in 2023.
Let's not even talk about taxes, more payments necessary (phone payments utilities, etc), increase in healthcare costs, etc. The average cost of a house in the nation in 1993 was 126.5k. in 2023 is is 385k.
Tuition in 1993 was on average 3.8k and 7k including room and board. Average tuition now is 39k a year for private and just under 23k a year for public.
The starting point for the average kid in 2023 is so far behind yours it's hysterical you're even using that as an argument. You still don't get it do you?
I guarantee most kids would be extremely hard working given the fact they weren't starting at 40k+ in student loan debt, society telling them that they're losers at every corner, being shown people making millions every day on the their social media apps for dancing and making stupid content, and then getting chit on at work by boomers while they make 45k a year drowning in debt and inability to get ahead.
It's a completely different ball game.
People personalize this argument and don't realize the actual scale of this problem. I worked my ass off and paid off all my student loans early, have a good savings and no issues finacially, but I just got fukked by housing. I'm in IL though so it's compounded via property tax.
I could argue for your position too from my own perspective and personalize this saying these kids can get through it by working hard. I'm not though because I realize their life is at a completely different starting point than where i was 8-9 years ago. I had it easier. They're literally fukked right now and I'm not arrogant enough to not see it and not see their point of view no matter how annoying and lazy I think Gen Z is.

I made a mistake, he (my brother) started Jan 2021, the height of the pandemic. He also bought a house last Feb.
And IDK what you're saying regarding housing, I bought a house in May 2021 in the DC Metro, so it's not like it's any cheaper than Chicago. Where you see problems, I see opportunities.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

In all reality, both sides have a point.
This younger generation is lazy and expects a lot with giving minimal effort.
However, things are more difficult now than they were financially. You have the Federal Reserve to thank for that.
I have an 18 year old in her first year in college. We had a conversation before she started college and I put out $40k/year (out of state). There is no way I'm investing in a college education unless the career path she wants to take requires it. i.e. medical field, accounting, attorney, etc. If she was simply going to go get a "communications" degree, she would have to figure out how to fund it herself.
I remember my last semester in college in 1997 was $900. Now, that same university is charging $9,000. I get it, **** sucks, but that doesn't mean you should LDAR.

Had it happen at a job i worked at for 8 months.
6 months in i received my mid-year review.
instead of focusing on all the chit they asked me to do that i wasn't even hired for but accomplished, they focused on how long it took me to learn the chit they didn't hire me for and accomplish.
no raise for me even though they promised one at 6 months.
8 months into that job i had a new job making almost twice as much.

though they purchased before home prices went nutzo.
But they move up because they work and work hard.
Then there are the kids still living at home and just fuking off on the job with no desire to do more than the minimum and complaining about their 1-2% pay increase.
they will go nowhere and blame the world.

I think lawyers absolutely have billable hours when they work each client ("punching a time clock"), just as I assign my work hours to each contract I'm suporting. Not sure where you came up with hedge fund guys or CEOs as relevant to this thread. But as usual, you've managed to completely deflect from what I originally posted.
I'm not a boomer, not a millennial either. Every post proves you really have no idea what those terms mean

A car is a game changer unless you live in a large city like NYC.
Have a few k saved up for the move, and think really hard about what you can tolerate doing as a career. It will need to be something that makes money, not gender studies. Either some sort of sought after trade, or hard maths or sciences or engineering in college.
If you're already own your own, you will have to suffer, but that's life. Work extra shifts, do whatever you can for more hours and more responsibility.

but i guess i agree with the premise
same here for me. i was 18, and at the time, totally believed in college, so i was looking at paying 60K+ at 18 with nothing behind me at all
that's when it really struck me how deluded most people were. or maybe it was the people i was around
anyways, i really think the military is a good bet for someone like that. but i understand why not everybody would want to do it.
getting into a trade early would be amazing too. but still not gonna be plush until like 5 years in. if youre supporting yourself at the beginning stages, its prob gonna be pretty rough
but you know, i also understand why some people work at mcd's. because my first job was solely due to proximity. because i didn't have a car
and that "ladder" is pretty gay. because i was offered a "higher job" at that same place but it was for like a dollar extra. so you're talking prob 10+ years before you're making "decent" money

Can someone explain it to me, that if Zoomers are working some corporate job, and still living at home, how are they not killing it when it comes to saving money?
Why do stats show that most of you don't even have a thousand dollars in savings?
You're telling me that living at home, and having mommy feed you, that you can't put away at least 2 grand a month?

but i guess i agree with the premise
same here for me. i was 18, and at the time, totally believed in college, so i was looking at paying 60K+ at 18 with nothing behind me at all
that's when it really struck me how deluded most people were. or maybe it was the people i was around
anyways, i really think the military is a good bet for someone like that. but i understand why not everybody would want to do it.
getting into a trade early would be amazing too. but still not gonna be plush until like 5 years in. if youre supporting yourself at the beginning stages, its prob gonna be pretty rough
but you know, i also understand why some people work at mcd's. because my first job was solely due to proximity. because i didn't have a car
and that "ladder" is pretty gay. because i was offered a "higher job" at that same place but it was for like a dollar extra. so you're talking prob 10+ years before you're making "decent" money

When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Why do stats show that most of you don't even have a thousand dollars in savings?

My first car was when I was 16 years old, and it was a Ford Escort. A real **** car. The ****ing air conditioner didn't even work.

That professional is able to say "I think I'll take Monday off" because they're in charge of getting their work done. And of course we don't take PTO during such times.So, what imaginary definition of "professional" are you using? Hell, if you're a "real professional", why do you need a comp day or two, just after saying youdon'tdo that?
I think lawyers absolutely have billable hours when they work each client ("punching a time clock"), just as I assign my work hours to each contract I'm suporting. Not sure where you came up with hedge fund guys or CEOs as relevant to this thread. But as usual, you've managed to completely deflect from what I originally posted.
Not a boomer, not a millennial either. Every post proves you really have no idea what those terms mean

You're basically a white collar tradie. Nothing wrong with that.

I feel so badly for your parents. Both of my kids are way more successful than you in their mid-20's FFS.
You suck.

I'm bewildered by the younger generations as well.
AWSBruh made a thread that they shouldn't give 2 weeks notice. This has happened and then I'm stuck with the work and no handoff to try to figure out the status of projects! How is that fair to me? I'm not the corporation! You should give 2 weeks notice as a courtesy to your fellow employees so you don't burn bridges.
The younger generations also need to learn more interpersonal communication skills, which they haven't learned thanks to smartphones and social media.
