You can buy a brand new TV for $500.
That's 2 weeks of groceries for a family of 3.
They will never understand that cheap luxuries and expensive necessities are a bad combination.
in 1990, a TV, home computer, cellphone and a printer would be like 10 months of rent. Now you could buy all that with the equivalent of like 3 weeks of rent.

I’m pretty confident in stating that you are a fricking idiot.
You haven’t contributed anything to the thread other than typical Zer whining.
And my statement was objectively correct.

also think everyone seriously underestimates what losing Charlie Kirk did to the Republican Party.
The democrats knew what they were doing when they killed him.

Well, I am making that argument but it has nothing to do with my station in life. I'm older and blessed to be financial comfortable.
But I don't need personal antedotes because I can analyze objective data.
And objective data says you're not an exception for your generation. You're the rule. Younger households hold more wealth than their boomer peers did at the same age. Boomers held more wealth than their parents, etc.

And, at the end of the day, the GOP has to wake up this morning and ask itself why it suffered on the largest political losses in US History last night. There are a lot of reasons with varying degrees of impact but the one data point that is the most significant this far in the analysis is the loss of support that it garnered in 2024 from the 18-35 crowd. And this demographic made it pretty clear that it started with the economic opportunity afford to it.
I don't disagree here. My argument is about how the 18-35 crowd reached the conclusions it has about their economic lot in life.
Ask yourself - what are the chances that "you're never going to have the standard of living your parents had" is the one narrative of many that the American Left, media, academia, etc. is being straight up about? Is it possible that young people have been sold a narrative that is not much different than any number of Leftist narratives?

so that there aren't 10 cities on the coast that are the best place for young people to get job opportunities.
Another myth.
Google "rural job shortage." There's a shortage in rural America of just about every job type. In fact, that's where the available jobs actually are.
O.k., maybe not corporate law with a speciality in international acquisitions and mergers or cutting edge robotic neurosurgery, but the more specialized and exclusive the position is, the fewer of them there are anyway and the more you get paid to do them. So the jobs that you really have to move to one of those 10 cities to find, you can afford it.
But if you want to be a teacher or a nurse or a primary health care worker or an engineer or a lawyer practicing general law or even a professor at a community college, those jobs are out there. They'd love to have a young professional come fill those vacancies.
Young people don't want them because they don't want to live in Slapout, Alabama, population 4,920.

Rent is one of the few legitimate examples y'all have. Driven in large part by illegal immigration.
Groceries are not a legitimate example.
Wait, who would have been young adults during that spike in the 70s-80s?
Well damn, if its not the Boomers again! First housing, now groceries.
As far as expensive necessities, cheap luxuries, you don't expect any of us to believe that you'd be o.k. without iPhones and lattes, do you?
The upper end of y'all age range thinks spending $30,000 a year on travel ball is a necessity. I don't know a single family growing up who would have done that. People would literally have thought they had gone crazy.
