Man, I would love to be proven wrong, but Nothing Is Going to Happen to these people.

Proceeds to tell us how hard it was 40 years ago
This statement was afterwards when attempting to empathize and relate in order to foster constructive dialogue. I only continued with the original statement to address those who had issue with what I originally said. It's a sequence, see? A thread even.

I’m 32, make nearly $200k a year and have a homes worth of stock options, I’m all good.
But I can also recognize everything being expensive AF and more poor people makes me worse off.
Again, not that hard
No one cares what you do or how much you make and it's not pertinent.
Everything has gotten expensive AF. Where do I say it hasn't? In fact I'm pretty sure somewhere in this thread I alluded to the same thing. Yep here it is:
quote:
I think the disconnect is that when people say it's tough now (and Holy shite, it is) they don't want to hear how tough it was 40 years ago because it's not helpful. What people are saying and should say more plainly is "this too shall pass" and to stick with it and to not get discouraged. Keep working hard and keep sacrificing. Don't succumb to the black pill and give up on your goals.

I pointed out the nonsense of your dad making 75 bucks a week and buying a home
You moved the goalpost immediately and said your mom made more
Scruffy and Johnny killed that
Times were tough then and are tough now
No need to bullshite
Nothing I posted was untrue. You choose to believe that it was. I can't help that.

This is a meaningless statement that's condescending with the patronizing diminutive to top it off. Keep going, "champ".

It's tough to listen to. It's competitive victimhood and an external locus of control.

You were poor. There are still poor people.
You are conflating your being poor to today’s middle class, which is rapidly deteriorating and getting worse off. This is really not that hard.
If poor people can improve their station, middle class people can as well and do it more easily.

Multiple posters have done this

Why don't you lay it out for me instead of this vague statement of surety, then? Give me list and I'll respond to each item. This is like arguing with children.

I saw those hands in that picture. Those were some soft looking hands baw. We know you ain’t ever touched a work boot lol
More insults. I worked my arse off for the majority of my life and it's paid off and now I don't have to. Care to address anything specifically with what I've said?
Eta- What about my upbringing (of which I've posted photographic evidence) suggests to you that I've never "touched a work boot"? Do you not see the logical inconsistency with your argument?

Tough draw but not unusual
I agree, it's not. That's my point. shite has been tough at lots of different points in history. Put on your work boots and get after it. No excuses.

You’ve completely shown your arse across this entire thread. And then doubled and tripled down at every opportunity ? ?
Thanks for the entertainment baw!
CPA Yung Boi has entered the chat. Please tell me more. I'd like to learn from my mistakes.
Also, if we're going by general perception, I'll take the 15 up votes to 2 downvotes on my original post as evidence your assessment is incorrect.

Still waiting.

I kind of doubt anyone knows how much their parents made when they were young with any degree of accuracy. He probably thinks he has the correct info but is mistaken.
There are two sources I rely on for this information. The first is the diary my mother kept. The second is a distinct memory of my parents fighting about him working there. My mother wanted him to find a better job, but he had a lot of trouble talking to people and wouldn't apply or interview.

This is the house I grew up in when my dad made $75 per week. 986 square feet, no central air, in the ghetto. 12% rate.
The first house I bought wasn't much better. We called it the slanty shanty. At least it had central air that kind of worked.
I have a hard time listening to people who say how great the boomers had it. Yes it sucks now, but people starting out now do not have a monopoly on tough times.
Here it is. And?

Your story shifts with every post
My dad was a welder until he got a job at Exxon
My mom also worked as a receptionist
We lived in a single wide until I was ten years old
Your childhood is nothing special or difficult compared to any generation since your parents were young
No, there are plenty of people who had it worse. What's your point? Everything I've posted is true. What specifically are you taking issue with? The fact that when pressed for details or when accused of fabricating I provide additional details and even fricking pictures? What exactly would satisfy your doubt oh internet user "Sun God"?

Now you’re confused why yalls house in a ghetto isn’t worth dick
It’s hilarious

Ah, a late edit to your post.
I know it "isn't worth dick". That's the point. They were willing to live there and keep pushing upwards to eventually achieve their goals.

my dad made $75 a week
hey my mom made $130 a week too
My dad was a Vietnam vet and middle school dropout
Well? What of it? I'm not sure what more I could do than post pics. What exactly do you take issue with?
quote:
Lmao
You are getting destroyed in this thread
How so? Be specific. What you mean is that you think insults and accusations of dishonesty align with your established opinion. I'm more than willing to address your idiocy point by point. Go for it.

Who ever said that? That's 10x the house someone who makes what your parents did could afford today. You're the only one who has said multiple times how bad it is.
No it's not. It's a 940 square foot home with no AC in the fricking ghetto.

Also shout out to old man Naylor for paying your war vet dad half of minimum wage for the misfortune of getting drafted and disabled during a war.
Well the job market for a middle school dropout, PTSD vet wasn't exactly booming in 1979.
Still can't bring yourself to admit you're wrong yet? You going to apologize like a man or continue to act like an a-hole? How long did you spend reverse imaging and running those pics throughAI checkers? Take the L and move on, dude.
