You on the other hand are screaming it’s not fair. Life isn’t fair, you get handed lemons, you make lemonade. You don’t cry that it’s not a Starbucks Chai tea.

It's a thing that ALL members of the O-T Lounge are ballers and never have to worry about any of this!

Calling someone simply wanting the same opportunities previous generations had "entitled" is something
This is how you do it, are you listening? I doubt it but here we go.
1 - wait until AFTER you’re married to have kids. That’s biological male and biological female. Hard concept apparently.
2 - graduate high school. Not college, high school. Lots of excellent opportunities out there that don’t require college. I don’t have a degree, and I’m retiring with no debt because I did both one, 2 and to follow…3.
3 - Get a job, any job and apply yourself. Other than 6 months off after back surgery I’ve always worked. I drove to where the work was when I had to. A 40 minute one-way commute was nothing. Drive something that gets 35mpg instead of the 20mpg truck you’d rather have.
Do those 3 things, life is much easier. Not easy, but easier.
In short, quit bitching and start thinking.

Having parents with money! Why didnt I think of that.

So your personal wealth was able to allow them a much more manageable debt load than the majority who had to finance most of the damn thing themselves.
Didn’t drink up half my paycheck either. Underrated way to save money btw.

Let's hear your idea how to lower housing prices and tuition Einstein

Well . . . we're waiting.
This is if course assuming you followed the three rules of not being broke.

The world is what it is, look for opportunities and jump on them when you can. Be smart, and have a strategy.
Don't listen to all of the Grant Cardone types, that advice isn't realistic for most people.

younger generations have it much harder.. This thread went exactly as I expected.
Younger generations make bad choices, older generations point them out. Know why we know?
Saw friends, family make them and learned from some of our own mistakes and experiences.
You just haven’t figured that out yet.
Follow the 3 rules and life is lots easier.

lived in a single wide trailer for a while in my 30s while saving for a house. I’m sure that type of dwelling is far below your standards.
Single wides start at 90k now. You used to be able to get a new at 45k just a decade ago.

The living embodiment of internet boomer memes. You're so full of yourself, you even direct your "advice" to me, knowing nothing about me.

But you can’t post that on Instagram or it’s gives you a slightly inconvenient commute.

It's not only US. UK, Ireland, other parts of Europe are in the same situation

You realize that right?
