Money isn’t everything. --always said by a rich dude with a paid off house and cushy job
You just need to pick a woman. Have some kids. Don’t worry about divorce or affordability. —always said by the worst fools who wouldn’t stand a chance in the modern dating scene and probably weren’t great parents

be yourself” has to be the worst advice in the history of dating advice, and it was a staple of older friends and relatives, especially females.
Yup

Mid 00’s my boomer dad could not understand that you didn’t need to go to the library to study.

Here is some boomer advice, if you are worried about what old people are saying you are a pussy. Suck it up.
We tell you these things because ya'll are dumb as frick.

If you show loyalty to the company, the company will show loyalty to you.

If you’d listened to your uncle, you might not find yourself so beholden to your employer that you can’t take 4 weeks off in a year.

Read this as “foreplay, they just want someone who won’t take no for an answer” before noticing user name.
Does seem like millennial advice

"Why do you need student loans? Just get a summer job"
Well Uncle, when you went to school it was $15 a credit hour at a public university. Its now $553 instate and $1500 out of state.
Average cost to attend next year at Alabama is $43k per year outstate so no, I won't be able to cover my tuition making $20 an hour over the summer.
Most adults wont make $43k over the summer in the prime of their careers.

Gen X here but this is one ALL older generations tell younger generations...
"You can be anything you want to be".
No the hell you can't LOL....can 1/1000th of the human population make a living in the NBA as a player????? Hell no. What is there, 2, maybe 3 presidents per generation, if that??? You can't be anything you want to be....if you're lucky you will be something that doesn't destroy your will to live. I bet in the history of the human race no child has ever responded "accountant" when asked what they want to be when they grow up, yet there is a massive number of accountants in the world and most of them seem more or less satisfied with their lot in life....get the frick out of here with the "be anything you want to be bullshite"....

Why would anyone not getting substantial scholarship attend Alabama as an OOS student? There had to be a similar in state school where you are from.

For their generation, that was true.
The draft ended in Dec 1972. To even have a shot at getting draft, you have to have been born in November 1954 or earlier.
So half of the time range of boomers never had to worry about a draft.

27 bucks a day = 10,000 a year.
That’s a couple of coffees and lunch.

Was coming to about to post exactly this.
Interestingly, most of the same people have memory-holed ever saying such a thing.

Yes, if you stop spending $5 a day on something frivolous you will be able to afford the average American home.............in about 150 years.

Wouldn't want an impressionable young scholar to be subjected to losing to Bama every year by shipping them to Baton Rouge so...
Of course when I was at Bama we didnt beat AU or LSU and TN was putting it on us pretty regularly so I guess things do change over time
