The best part of this is that you are still unable to see how you literally just proved how much easier it was back then.

You obtained something, that most people nowadays are apparently unable to obtain by 40, you obtained it by 22 by working minimum wage jobs in an area that you said earlier had no jobs.

Holy frick.

It couldn’t be any easier than that.

And he never will. It's amazing. And all he had to do was say "yeah, we had some things easier."

He could say that and STILL say millennials are lazy and stupid.

But no, that is simply not an option. It's full speed ahead for Roger.

No, I loved what you can do with effort.

The easy part, lololol.. you're supported by a dozen people who swear irs impossible.

Which is it? Impossible or easy?

Back then? Apparently really fricking easy.

You could buy land, build a home, pay for college, and do it all on minimum wage.



Do you realize that that is the basis of the argument?

No, of course you don’t.

Not. Getting. It.

Your story sounds impossible. Assuming it's true, it only demonstrates how much easier it was in regards to economic growth on an individual level then.

Do you understand that? No, of course you don't. Because you don't want to.

Oh, you are definitely making this shite up, but assuming you are even minimally honest, it proves everyone’s point.



You could have the American dream with a minimum wage job by the age of 22.

You guys were handed this shite on a silver platter, and you are even admitting it.

You basically proved it was even easier for the boomers than I thought it was.

I see young 20 year olds afford a house and a car with no problem. It’s not impossible.

Maybe the older generation had this figured out.

Losers always have excuses for failing.

you are either a) lying

or b) were able to build a house by purchasing land with money you saved by working part time, minimum wage, jobs in HS and later were able to afford the materials by working full time jobs while you went to night school

do you think b is possible now? do you think someone can save money to buy an acre of land by working part time, minimum wage, jobs for a couple of years?

you still havent explained how you acquired the raw materials, how long it took you to build, how you dealt with the plumbing and wiring, what the coding/insuring process was like, and how many hours per week you put into building it

so im thinking the answer is A, but on the off chance its B, you are literally proving everyones point

I'll even give you an out here Roger.

If what you claim is true, then you did an amazing job accomplishing all that at such a young age.

Can you not just admit that maybe, just maybe, conditions are not the same now as they were 40 years ago and that it might be just a little bit harder to accomplish all those things that you did at such a young age?

really isn’t that hard. it’s called being not financially retarded and working hard. i will say, economically it was easier for the prior generation, not thaaat difficult for millenials tho.

Y'all old bastards were too busy being terrible fathers, drunks, or absent to teach the next generation how to build a house with their bare hands for the cost of a job at Sonic.

Thanks for nothing, boomers.

I never said they were. More board fiction.

I just countered the "Ohmygod, it was so easy then" ladies. Most southerners are no more than two generations from poverty, they too had people who scrapped

:facepalm:

The percentage of homeowners under the age of 25 is 0.8%.

It is as if you can’t even look up statistics.

This entire thread has been boomers using feelings over facts.
