Touché, but I have a lovely piece of property, a great big home for just me and my wife (no kids cause they may turn out to be whiny pussies like millennials) my horses, pets galore and a great job. Wife is making six figures too. I hunt and fish the weekends or pretty much do whatever I want. And everything is paid for. Well I have a truck note.

Please point me in the direction where I stated otherwise. I was responding to your post, which is why I only mentioned the geriatrics and not the young cry-babies you speak of.
I don't know why you are being so angry.

Yeah. I posted my daughters starting salary as a teacher this upcoming school year. It's nearly double that $28k figure.

I was in my starter home until I was 44. Spent 18 great years there starting a family and raising my kids.

I know plenty of mellinials that graduated LSU and have good jobs.
Maybe learn how to budget on the salary you have. Millions of people are capable of this.

Or instead of living at home move to one of the many areas in the country where jobs are more plentiful and salaries are higher.
Posted on 4/24/17 at 9:03 pm to GreatLakesTiger24
And you also posted a list of states with lower COL. That money goes a lot farther in small town USA.
Do you know that many towns in those states will pay off a new teachers student loans if they commit to a five year contract in exchange for a lower salary?

Exactly. You have to be prepared to be mobile. If people don't want to leave home to further their career, don't blame millenials.

im assuming the poster who said his mom made 6k is from LA, hence my response.
Posted on 4/24/17 at 9:06 pm to VABuckeye
Areas where salaries are higher and jobs are plentiful are cities. Cities have a higher COL.
I understand your point and agree with it. I did it myself. But it's not always so simple. Plus, not everyone is mobile for a multitude of reasons.

Then why aren't you posting the complete picture? You only post the portion of the facts that support your view. You aren't looking at this objectively.

I get what your saying Hulk. I know you've been through a lot and I can respect that. But you didn't bitch about it ( solely). Hell you packed up and moved for a better job. I give you all the credit in the world for making the move.
But At some point "pointing out" becomes an excuse. A crutch. Like any other hurdle, get over it and keep running.
One other question:
Why do y'all never blame the teachers and guidance counselors who sold you the lie about college being necessary for success? Millinnials blam "Boomers". But not all Boomers contributed to your problems. I never see your age group question all the people in education and the student loan industry who created the myth of a college degree and loaned you the money that became your "crushing" debt. That's who you should blame. Not some old guy sitting at the desk you feel entitled to.
Hell he lost his 401K and retirement at the same time your job prospects soured. But he's not blaming anyone. Focus your ire on those responsible and maybe the next generation won't get fricked like y'all claim you've been.

True. Not everyone is mobile. Beautiful thing about cities though is they tend to have this place called the suburbs where COL is generally less. A lot of those suburbs still support high wages.

And yet you responded to the post. Envy is caring little guy. You'll get there one day.

someone said their mom made 6k as a teacher in 1975 (presumably in a low COL state) as if that was much lower than today's starting salary. i pointed out that it is not. the end.
Posted on 4/24/17 at 9:14 pm to VABuckeye
If you're not mobile, that's a you problem, not a millennial problem.

Demanding jobs still pay. People don't want manual labor or demanding jobs. If so, they could make much more than 30k.
In the 70s work was physically hard and lacking technology.
There is no arguing with this. There is a lot of money to be made in skilled trades (electrical, plumbing, etc) and depending on what someone wants to go to college for, for many people, its probably more valuable to go to a trade school, learn a trade than to go to college.

I make decent money for a 29 year old but I cannot afford a big property in a top neighborhood. I'm stuck in starter home and holding off on kids until my masters is done.
I hate to break it to you Caterpillar but this is what 99% of Baby Boomers experienced in the mid 70s to mid 80s.

Thirty-seven percent of young people had a bachelor's degree last year, compared to 22.8 percent in 1975.
Herein lies the problem. A flooded market for college grads, and minimal positions so the employers can steer the salary market. I know pipe welders making 3-4x that because their market is in high demand, and they steered pay upwards. It won't get any better anytime soon.
