I have no doubt whoopie worked hard to get to where she is. She's not a CEO's son who was given a profitable business or a small loan of $1M. But how come a comedian and actor--you know ppl who are supposed to know humans so well--doesn't believe everyone works as hard as she did. I used to look up to her, but she's so out of touch now. :-(

She wasn't always a millionaire celebrity. Temper your rage. She put on a one women show too break into show business From her bio "Before making it as an actress, she worked as a bank teller, a bricklayer and in a mortuary. 1994: Became the very first woman to host the Academy Awards solo."

Same! I went to college, studied hard, got a BS and 3 medical certifications, I don’t live extravagantly, just pay my bills, and buy necessities mostly on sale, no trips/travel/vacations ANYWHERE, and I too live paycheck to paycheck due to cost of living. I worry about keeping food in my fridge some months. Tell me how a healthcare professional should have to worry about staying fed. Rent for a studio where I live is over 2k a month. And comparable to most major cities. I could move more rural but my pay would go down significantly and the amount of jobs decreases significantly. So what is a good option!!! People with millions in the bank should just stfu about regular folk problems.

That happened to me and my husband in 2000. Both professionals, college graduates living paycheck to paycheck without being able to buy a home. We ended up moving to a smaller, much cheaper city and it was the best decision we ever made. Bought our first home and 8 years later upgraded to a bigger home. Had our 2 kids, great schools, small town feeling, peaceful environment. Our families love to visit. Unfortunately, so did everyone else so now housing in our new city has become unreachable for younger people. I figured my teenagers will just have to find their own up and coming small city where they can thrive and build their own lives.

Totally agree, man. I've found that there are 3 responses to personal suffering: 1. Total apathy. "So long as I've got mine, I don't care about anybody else." 2. Universal suffering. "I suffered, so you should suffer just as much as I did." Or the correct response: 3. Compassion. "I don't want anyone to have to suffer the way I did."

Exactly It’s Weird Like They Sleep More Comfortable Knowing We Uncomfortable

They HAVENT EVEN SUFFERED LIKE US

What's crazy is this idiotic idea that you should be able to buy a house and cars and tattoos and cell phones ect on a minimum wage job. I have worked minimum wage. I also own homes and have owned several over the years. I served 17 years in the military and put my spouse through school and payed back a half million (yes, 500000 ) in student loans. You want to take a guess on weather or not I bought houses on minimum wage? Want to know if I am covered in worthless tattoos? You think I owned a smart phone when they came out? The issues of wages and costs of living is vexing. But the differences in those things has always seemed out of line to everyone in every generation. The big difference in the last 2 gens and previous is the notion that minimum wage jobs should be able to pay for all the things. They shouldn't. But when you protest and scream and have a shit fit till congress and state law makers bend to your will and raise minimum wages...you will and have seen EVERYTHING else go up. These are economic facts. Those pesky things you didn't want to be bothered with in school and wouldn't go to college to study.

@@veralhines6237 the ''minimum'' part of the wage back 40 years ago was precisely to afford a roof for a family of easily 5 people and food, inflation happened and minimum wage doesn't even give you the bare minimum anymore on top of like you said, everything else going up, taxes, services, rent, everything, but the minimum wage :/

@KiwiiLoka I was alive 40 years ago. And worked minimum wage jobs. They were NOT ment to feed a family of 5. Nor buy a home. Nor buy new cars ect. They were simply jobs. And 40 50 60 years ago if you wanted to get ahead you got skills and or education to do so. You didn't long to be an internet influencer or a tiktok star. You worked. Saved. Struggled and made ends meet. Yes things are out of ballance. Yes inflation happened. Inflation has ALWAYS Happened and the truth still stands.

You are correct. It doesn't matter what generation you are from. boomers, gen x, y, z, millennials. You can work 2 or 3 jobs and save every penny but they keep raising prices to make what we want unobtainable.

That's very true they brag about all these millions of jobs. But they're not full time jobs. They're barely even part time jobs.

Exactly!! I think for the most part, most people are fine with 8 work hours. But what people don't like is when those work hours are with loud coworkers, office drama, depressing cubicles with bad chairs, and the long commute that goes with it. I recently got the opportunity to do remote/hybrid work for my company, and guess what? No productivity was lost, and I am way more happier for it.

Exactly. It's not that we don't want to work, we do but corporate jobs are not giving anyone hours.

I've given up trying to get full time at my job. I'm looking elsewhere now. Can't wait to see the look on my manager's face when I finally find one.

I would LOVE if I could work 4 hours and still make enough to pay rent and survive but that's a far off dream when the current situation doesn't even allow for an average 8 hour work day/40 hour work week to result in pay for basic needs.

Exactly because I work close to 80 hours every pay period and hate my existence some days just to make rent gas money and food

I’ve been working two jobs totaling an average of 40 hours/week since my junior year of high school. I’m about to start college and as of yet, I still can’t afford my first semester.

⁠@@marktheshark7623i mean there’s plenty of boomers that were like deli workers or worked in the bakery and all sorts of brain numbing easy jobs that retired as millionaires. They got a pension and annuity both paying out thousands a month. Then they get social security and whatever they saved or invested themselves. I’m not saying today that you can’t invest in an Ira and retire a millionaire because you can if you simply save 50% of your earnings of your high school job and invest it into an Ira and never touch it or add another penny to it. That’s compounding interest. But social security will be gone by the time I’m old enough to receive it. You’ll be hard pressed to find a job that offers a pension or annuity these days. Like we’re definitely getting screwed when it comes to buying property. I mean if you were to take the money from the ira at like 35-40 you would have like 300k so you could use that as leverage to buy a home. But most people don’t know shit about investing and our parents didn’t really need to do all that to be able to afford a house. So yeah you’re right we need to work smarter not harder. But it’s not like boomers were smarter than us or worked smarter jobs. I mean my uncle was a burnout plumber who has his personal investments and then he gets 8k a month between his pension and his social security. That’s 96k a year just for working as a plumber for 35 years. I got nothing against plumbers. And I’m not necessarily saying plumbers are stupid. But it’s definitely a labor intensive job that is much harder than smarter. And sure people can still join the plumber’s union and do that today. But they’ll pay into social security but most likely ain’t getting it. Also the pensions and annuities have been gutted plus union jobs have dropped by a huge margin.

maybe the government should stop taking so much out of our paychecks? i dont feel like i make a ton of money, but i gross $1150 a week and i only see $792 of it. idk about you but $1400 a month the government takes from me would literally be the difference between living paycheck to paycheck to being able to save for a car, a house, etc. the crazy part? the government says i owe them even more money at the end of the year... im not going to blame my employer for a problem the government causes. i earned enough money to be well enough off and my employer pays me enough money to be well enough off, the only reason im not well enough off is the government.

People nowadays are having just as much work, probably even more, and not nearly as much of a reward as they did back then. Is like working double for half the paycheck.

@@Snipergoat1 Only thing that's noticeably wrong is the 1980 median household income figure. Should be closer to 50k. Otherwise, everything else looks in line with what I've looked up in the past. As such the rising cost of living looks even worse.

tbf she's also stuck inside the Hollywood celebrity bubble and echo chamber. They see working class people every day but have no idea what it's like to live like that any more.

@@Snipergoat1and yet you’re also in KZfaq shorts mindlessly watching 30 seconds worth of crap as well. You sound like someone who would appreciate this advice, so here it is: touch grass.

@@Snipergoat1So I looked up every single one thanks to you. Pretty much everything is accurate but the college tuition and fees. 1980 is right but today is more like 22k. So instead of 13x it's 10x and the median household income today should be 220k instead of 77k if had gone up the same. I'd like to know your perspective on this because you seem to have more knowledge or maybe you are just projecting your stupidity onto strangers on the internet.

Oh, yass! She's always been so so funny!

Income tax should be outlawed.

@@02091992able Income tax? How about just raising incomes in general!

Lol sucks2suck

Why would you even a want a house? Renting is far superior, especially if you rent a house. You don't pay property tax. You don't have to pay for repairs you didn't cause. You don't feel tied down to one city for life. Your address/place of residence is harder for others to find out since you aren't the owner of the house.

I agree...

I get that -but my kids can live with me rent free -I didn’t have that option and was in sheer panic anytime my car needed something and begging the mechanic for the cheapest fix. My kid can just borrow my car if theirs is broken down …. It’s all apples and oranges , different challenges for different generations.

I'm not.

Facts today a 100k a year is now minimum wage. 🤷🏾 sad. And our kids really have it bad to get an apartment. They have to have two or three roommates

Gen-X wasn’t buying houses in the 1980’s….shit….I was born in 1973!! It’s been even a longer struggle for some of us!!!

Exactly. And then there’s that weird question everyone asks at 18, “when are you moving out ?” “Look for any apartments yet” “stayin in a dorm?” No im not . How tf are people moving out at 18 anymore ? I don’t even want to THINK about the repercussion costs of a dorm . And then RENT? AT 18 ??? There’s no way in hell😭

And the worst part is he cant even afford to get by alone. You were probably supporting a family with that extra 30k.

woah that is crazy! i’m 27 and a couple years ago i moved back in with my parents and it’s WILD how much money i’m saving. i rly wish ppl would stop judging adults who live with their parents.. likee what they’re doing is SMART.

Ikr so what if i live with my parents im just saving money so that when i want to move out i jave the money there plus if anything were to happen to them (god i hope not) im there and i can take care of them its a win win for all except anyone who complains about it cause they have nothing better to do with their life​@@elise7525

“…our dual income”, …less than what WE did”. And I’m sure both of you had already been working for a few years and had moved up a bit. While I’ll agree with the high increase in education and living expenses there are better ways to make substantially more income than getting a four to six year practically useless degree but increasing minimum wage isn’t going to work. Just look at what’s happening in California. Businesses have increased their prices while laying off employees or closed down completely. Who do you think is going to pay these high minimum wages. I’ll give you one guess…WE are in the form of high prices and lost wages. Do I have the solution? No. But I do know from almost 50 years of taking care of myself and my family that $20 minimum wage is going to completely defeat the purpose.

Every boomer does

@@Beefpiston27 Some boomers have it fairly hard these days and aren't at all joining Whoopie in her song and dance.

Are you making 77k working 4hrs 😅😅😅

@@darkhands4448 no but she is. Prolly even more

@@peachpunch9465 so how would you get to that level?

They may be, but he's numbers aren't accurate. If the minimum wage is 7,50$ then there's no way the rent is 1900$. The minimum wage is 7,50$ in Idaho. Rent is 1000$ + . In Arizona its 14,35$. The rent is 1500$+. In neither of those states have I seen an entry job offering the minimum wage. In Idaho it's usually 15$+ and it Arizona is 17$+. So his numbers are clearly from Google and not pulled from real life. It may be harder, but his numbers are way off.

​@@Cannibalizee Minimum wage has nothing to do with the average rent price and he's using average statistics for multifamily homes throughout the whole US, which varies around 2k in 2024. Obviously not all renting prices will be the same, this is just the average.

Your full of crap. Rent is absolutely over 1900/month not including utilities. Rent outpaces minimum wage 13x. Stfu​@@Cannibalizee

@@Cannibalizeealthough my states min wage is higher at $15, a studio where I live is 1,900… a studio. Most one beds are 2.5k+ and most jobs here will pay only min wage for entry level. Jobs that pay more require a degree for the most part. I’m happy that I was lucky enough to know someone renting a one bed for a good price 3+ years ago but a one bed in my building rn would be $2k+

Well I'm 64 and I can't agree. But I sacrificed hard to get where I am. And I mean sacrificed. I didn't have a furnace in my home for 10 years until I could afford it. I boiled water on the stove for 3 months until I could afford a hot water heater. I now have no bills no credit cards and I don't live above my means. Am living the good life now

Well also have more government programs compared to the 1980s which could explain the high cost of everything. Sense the same programs to help ppl also jack up prices with the aid

poor get poorer because of the moronic decision they make. I see so many waste their money on drugs, booze and lottery

@@phantomblade89entire generations can’t afford housing, and it’s not because of alcohol or other vices. The cost of living has increased, the value of an education has been diluted, and the wages have not kept up. If you’re surrounded by alcoholics and drug addicts, maybe change your company.

@@wtf1a1athat’s not even remotely true. Regan would be considered a bleeding heart if he ran for office today.

Of course she doesn't take it into consideration, cost of living means nothing to her. I'm also sick and tired of celebrities saying they work hard. Acting is not hard. Its a skill and should be appreciated, but it's not hard work. And those that get lucky enough to be in major pictures. Compared to most people , actors really don't break much of a sweat.

They'd rather make other suffer than admit that they had no balls and were complacent as corporations and the like abused them.

They were profiting from the increase and still are! Work twice as hard for half as much than them!

Mine is to point out that literally every generation since the invention of the printing press has used the exact words, "Nobody wants to work anymore". It's just out of touch old people complaining about young people who live in the world they fucked up.

​@@AnaseSkyrider This fucking comment right here! Gold comment award goes to you!

You’re that out of touch that you don’t think we haven’t?

More like generation-ism XD.

I wish I could work 4 hours lmfaoooo

Jokes are funny, though

Yeah for real. Try 14 hours 7 days a week!

​@@mostdopecaptain3350with you there, my first ever job I was the only one making over 10 hours a week in overtime to the point the boss had to hard cut my hours. I was only working for 9 dollars each hour and I was homeless trying to save up for an apartment

I mean there is still much more to it than that but I agree with what you're getting at

I read her Bio. There was a lot of eating ultra processed Junkfood before work.

That’s probaly not the only thing she does-

And do stand-up and become a Hollywood success story.

​@@privateprivate1865she doesn't need stand up her talk show is a straight fucking comedy from start to finish 🤣

And this clown ignores the fact that there were no opportunities to make money using social media. Stop whining and figure it out.

you missed her whole point which is this generation doesnt want to work. if you dont work how do you expect to be able to buy anythng. everybody has it hard and he loves to vomit numbers but the older generations did have it harder. now you have all the info of the planet at your finger tips and you still crying about not being able to make money. nobody feels sorry for the zoomers. you guys forget that the great depression was a thing. how do you think the people fared during that hmm? also ww2?

Working hard for McDonald's for 20 years is a personal choice, and frankly a mistake.

@@HunterR1223 A mistake on the ones who made minimum wage unlivable. Not the hard workers themselves. You seem to be blaming the workers for not doing something better when you are ignoring the heart of the issue which is that more and more well paying jobs are not becoming so.

@@SeudXe its not your fault if you work at mcdonalds but its your fault if you stay there and expect something to change about your life.

I stopped spending money supporting Hollywood actors! Let them get regular jobs!

Instead of celebrities, they need to be called Entitledies 😂

womp womp

I agree, I don't see celebrities as anything more than someone who is good at their job. Good for them, someone pays them all that money, but there are many others that are great at their job and more worthy of my respect.

Yup just another person in my eyes nothing special about them same bone and skin as everyone else

She literally owes her career to the generosity of Patrick Swayze who went to bat for her getting the part in the movie "Ghost"; she even admits she couldn't get much work and was going to quit acting.

​@@makeyourmark00 Exactly, she should understand

tbf its not like she grew up rich but she has definitely lost touch since she became famous so early.

Are you suggesting that she is, in fact just a drone made by the Mole People;

She did...ONCE. Back when dinosaurs walked the Earth, and it's crust was still cooling.

also make ALOT MORE money now days
