So we got Rog who had it tough while be able to buy an acre of land near a university and built a house with his bare hands from the spare change left over from his minimum wage part times jobs. In between benders of course.
Sawtooth may not be a boomer but he's got big boomer energy in that he's had decades of very high income and relatively little savings to show for it
And Judge thinks he scraped it out the mud with his intact homeowning, college educated family upbringing
Classic.

37% of “men” who are between the ages of 25 and 30 still live with their parents.

Is shite posting whiny crap here improving your luck?
Or could you be spending your time trying to figure out how to improve your odds?

You’ve obviously never taken the bus or sold plasma to make the nut.

That depends on the apartment.
If you must have granite counters with a built in espresso maker, sure.
If you’re willing to live where trash like us had to live, no.
My first apartment out of school was a hovel. There just wasn’t much available that I could afford.

Is this thread still where I come to complain life isn’t fair and boomers had it easier than me?

You are probably arguing with a few right now. I was out on my own at 18. When will these kids ever cut the umbilical cord?
Only about 35-40% of men in the US have a college degree. Given that many jobs where you can earn a living wage to afford a house and to raise a family require one, that shouldn’t be shocking.

It wasn’t a choice. It was necessity, which obviously has never bitten your arse.

Multi generational households have been the norm throughout most of human history and are still common in most of the world. People talk about the destruction of the nuclear family, but it all started with the destruction of the extended family, the urbanization of America. People with kids living thousands of miles from their relatives, with little family support. People retiring to some tropical location dependent on service providers for their ever increasing healthcare needs. These roles used to be fulfilled by family members, some of them young unmarried adults still living at home. Not sure the world wasn’t a better place then.

You are most assuredly in the right place.

Three of us lived in a two bedroom apartment in Tiger Town before we all graduated.
It was a dump but we were happy to be on our own.

I would also say we’re overlooking the component of pushing college in order to have a career. It literally created a whole new developmental stage (emerging adulthood) because people who were getting jobs right out of high school and getting paid a living wage raised their own to go to college to do the same job. And society ran with it.

Quiet quitting? More like silent gayjority

Read that article and come back.
We are yet another defensive boomer on our hands.
Also, Malcolm Gladwell's "outliers" is a good book about successful people who had a lot of good luck during their life to become the tech mogul they are. Yes these are smart and hardworking people, but there's so much more to it, including early access to certain industries based on family connections, which area of the country you were born, the decade you were born, what innovations preceeded them to make their endeavor possible in the first place, and on and on.

The quiet quitters say it is an affordability issue.
The private equity guys buying up subdivisions to rent say it is a generational preference (renting over buying).
My money is on the money.

The funny thing is that in 2022, that right out of HS job at a good wage has never been more available. I just had a child graduate HS. He chose college, but had he not their are plenty of options that would initially pay him a decent wage and provide growth opportunities for a while. It’s hard to find people to fill entry level jobs in almost all industries.
