Or you made some poor choices. All of the young people I know are avoiding these problems. All of my sons and daughters, all of their friends, all of my nieces and nephews with three exceptions. The exceptions…

1. One of my nieces is just very not smart. She is a good person, though. And luckily she is marrying a fellow who is an immigrant with no college education, but who is a hard working welder. So they are going to be fine.
2. Another niece is in her 30s and has never worked. Smart girl, who used to be very good looking. She blimped up and just won’t work. People have put opportunities in front of her, but no dice.
3. A nephew is just weird. Tried the military and was pushed out for being weird. Collects disability from the Navy for a “bad back” that he had before enlisting and that doesn’t affect him anyway.

Meantime…I know a lot of immigrants who cut grass and do other menial stuff and they own houses they bought with cash.

If we analyze the folks with these problems we will find that they reached their mid-20s with no marketable skills because they screwed off. Many just won’t do manual labor when that’s all they are fit for.
