How will young people ever get ahead?

I’m older. House, truck and everything paid for. But I walked out of Wal Mart last night with three bags of groceries that cost over $60 and thought to myself, with the cost of a new house these days, and new vehicles easily averaging over $50,000, how are your kids, grandkids, nephews, etc., , ever going to get ahead?

New retirement age will be 85 for young people.

Driving cars for 10 years.
Inheritance

If there was a time to keep the family unit together, this it. It’s better for everyone to stay together and keep the kids at home as long as possible.

The system is slowly being constructed to restrict opportunity/advancement.
Depopulation is the main goal.

Most of them are probably just banking on a big inheritance one day

The same way everyone did…by working their way up.
My first job out of college was $30k back in 1996. A kid bagging groceries at Publix makes $15/hr now. Do the math.
Don’t buy a new car. Buy used and reliable.
Rent and live with roommates. You don’t need a house starting out.
The issue is kids think they should live and have what their parents do right out of the gate. It doesn’t work that way. I’m not saying it’s easy…but it’s never been easy.

They can do it the same way I got ahead.

Same way I did.
Financial goals.
Live within your means.
Overtime.

It's not going to happen. Millennials are going to be on the opposite end of globalization from their parents.
Boomers got a super charged economy with the post-WW2 globalism, Millennials will have the demise of that system.
Anyone who says it all be the same as it has for the last 50 years isn't paying attention.

Lol You can’t compare 1996 $30k to today. It’s not even remotely the same. And here in lies the problem. The older generation talks like as if the circumstances are so similar, and they just aren’t.

Depopulation
The most glaring example being the clot shots
Virus had an incredibly low death rate but they tried to force some experimental juice and the masses relished in it.
The psychological game is strong.

That’s like 250k now and that same job still pays 30k today
Plus a house was 20k back then and a car was 5k
