another flawed viewpoint from these young dumbasses, at the beginning of your career you can't afford not to do those things, you start that discipline at the onset and get to your 50s and will be shocked at how much wealth you've accumulated, but no, got to have ...fill in the blanks ...now! young idiots don't no what "necessessities" really are

When you make $30k/year, you literally can't afford it.
If you drive a jolopy and live in the ghetto, you are still living paycheck to paycheck at best.

I don't want to hear this shite. When I took my first job out of college, I had to go back to working in the fast food industry on top of my job just to live. Yes some of these kids are unrealistic, but people should be able to buy housing on their second promotion.

You sound like an older person probably in their 50s or 60s. Things are not the same as they were back in your day. You can't get established in a particular field when the starting pay is so low that you can't even afford a place to live and a car.

Maybe they are more disciplined than you realize for working the market rather than settle for poverty.

I don’t know man. I’m usually in 100 percent agreement with this mindset. I paid off 93k in student loans in 2.5 years in 08-10.
31k before taxes isn’t doing a whole hell of a lot with what even basic shite is costing these days.
I see what our entry level employees are making and don’t even get how they’re paying these insane rates foe rent, much less the rest of their expenses. I’m not in some hip big city area either.
