I’ve got bad news for her. Working 40 hours a week at Walmart is not “working your tail end off.”

1 - Plan. Few do 2 - if you go to college, study for a degree in a profession. Medicine, Engineering are solid performers. “Social sciences” is just debt that does you no good. 3 - If you don’t go to college, learn a trade. 4 - Wait until marriage for kids.


This should be on every door of every school in the country

This. But that’s what the entitled generations think and thus the crying.

Stopped listening when she said people could live on their own at 40 hours a week 20 years ago. As someone who started working almost exactly 20 years ago, I know that is a complete lie.

Thought the same thing. Also funny that she’s complaining about how easy millennials had it, when 15-20 years ago, gen x and boomers were bitching about lazy millennials and millennials were bitching about how easy gen x and boomers had it. The cycle continues…

It's like she doesn't realize 20 years ago was right after the housing market crashed and the job market dried up. I bounced around to whatever garbage jobs I could find for half a decade before finally getting something in my field. Conversely, these kids can get a job nearly anywhere these days, and she chose Walmart.

I guarantee she'd get more hours if she asked.

She can’t afford a 3-piece package of chicken, but she can afford to bitch about it on a $1,000 iPhone with a $75 monthly data plan …. go figure.

I’m 59. When I left home at @ 19, there was no way I could live on my own. I had two roommates in a dumpy trailer and we pooled our money to get cheap food. We did it to be independent though. We worked out way up to making more, then you afford a dumpy trailer on your own.

One of my first jobs was as a janitor scrubbing toilets for 3.25 an hour. It motivated me to study hard and finish college.

But back then no one had social media and twenty-five 24 hour news outlets telling everyone that they were victims. So they just lived life without thinking much about it.

I can empathize with her points, and I’m not a boomer, but nobody working as a walmart cashier or stockboy will ever make enough money to live on their own. Walmart is notorious for being a shitty place to work unless it’s something like a temporary first job as a teenager kind of thing. And even then it’s still bottom of the barrel.

She gotta aim higher.

Talk about a waste of money

I paid $200 for my phone and $25 a month for service, but I’m not bougie like her
