It was lovely. 20% plus real unemployment, 15% interest rates.

Owning a home is loaded these days. Just goes to show how out of touch you are.
Some people view being called “fortunate” to be an insult. It doesn’t mean that you didn’t work hard, hard work isn’t always rewarded. Personally, I feel fortunate each day. I look at all I have and wonder what I ever did to deserve it. I worked hard, I still work hard (though less consistently). Doesn’t mean I am not fortunate, blessed, privileged.

A bunch of victims who don't know how to escape their own problems aren't "looking beyond their situation."

I found a job, went to college and built my own house before the age of 22.
I couldn't afford the house, so i built it with my own hands.

How can one work 'harder' when they don't have a job?

Figure it out, I've never been unemployed except a year I took off.

and on the flip side of the coin is someone who has to work twice as hard to make up for it. Bosses know who they can get work out of and they will work the shite out of them.
Be good but not too good at your job. If you are too good, you are stuck and cannot advance.

Boomers were able to enjoy a stock market that returned 47x since 1982, relatively low inflation and peace for almost 40 years, will see most of their social security, Medicare, prob got some inheritance from parents and still will manage to f&@$ up their retirement and healthcare.
This didn’t all just start with the new generations of buffoons.

For you? frick no. There's a reason you think this is "impossible" because to you, everything is.

That's true and especially of their generation. They were programmed to believe that only their hard work was what was making life so great, when it reality it was their superiors who were robbing future generations to line their pockets at the time.
If they accepted that reality, it would dimish their view of themselves.
I've done ok in life, not an OT millionaire and never will be. But I've had it incredibly easy in reality.
That also doesn't mean I don't get tired of hearing the same corporate bullshite for over 20 years either. Their generation has Stockholm syndrome.

So help me envision this: at around the age of 20 you already had the knowledge and skills to build a home (concrete/electrical/plumbing/framing/etc), you had the physical ability to do so. You had the energy to work 8 or more hours a day, go to class 5 or so, study, build this house…..
Somehow I think there is more to the story, but it is your story so.

do you think its a reasonable expectation, given how expensive college and materials are in todays world, for the average person to be able to both go to college on their own dime and also afford to build their own house before they turn 22. yes or no? please say yes
