@jonathantaylor6926 so true, people keep talking about wages but overlook the availability of credit and how that has inflated prices. Credit has existed for 1000s of years but the credit report has only existed since 1988, the same time period the charts show debt skyrocketing.

​@shootergavin3541 Being able to afford a home, being able to afford children, being able to save for retirement, basic things like that.

We'd love children even at risk of being destitute as old people, but feel too guilty to raise them in our 1 bedroom apartment. You can't raise children without a home for them. We can't afford any of the houses or condos or apartments with more bedrooms in our country (Canada) and have children. We're on the list for a co-op where we could probably afford a 2 or 3 bedroom home but their list is super long so we probably won't get in. We're 31 so we need to have kids fairly soon if we're gonna have them. It's funny how a wait list is what's gonna determine if we have kids or not 😅 It's really depressing; I've always wanted children and my fiancé would make SUCH a good dad. Looks like we're gonna save for retirement.

​@@c97xso stop giving it to them? It's your money. If you live with them worst case you get kicked out. Make sure you look up local laws for adult children living at home with parents and evictions. In several states it can take up to 60 days to legally evict if the child has lived there over a year past 18. Many it's 30. But that's a month of saving every penny you make. It's ILLEGAL for parents to remove children without an eviction done through the courts. Know your rights and save your money. Fuck these old fucks who just want to use you like a piggy bank while your youth leaves you. Just be prepared. Make plans. Have a strong support system of friends or other family members. Look for afford ways you can leave. Learn some financial education and make a savings plan.

Me and my wife do exactly that. We make 5x the income of my parents and 3x the income of her parents at the same age (we’re in our 30s) and we still can’t buy a home. Not because we won’t qualify but because we would bury ourselves in a mountain of debt. For a while, we were in denial saying “the market will crash soon” but we now know that’s not going to happen. We’re on our own in this one. The best thing to do is find areas to invest 2-5% of ur income (if ur lucky enough to do so) that will have exponential growth over the next generation. Since we’re priced out of property, I’d say tech is the next best investment.

Sometimes you have to take a hit and push through. If you qualify then purchase a home. It will most likely go up in value. You will get a return on your investment.

We’re giving up hopes and dreams.

They're not exactly wrong though. My anecdotal examples is that I'm a millennial that works on the oil industry. Very high paying jobs and I see many people of my generation and the younger generation that choose to do either the minimum, or quit altogether, because the work is too hard or they feel entitled. We're talking 200k+ jobs. When I started in this industry over a decade ago, it was not like this. But as the older generations are retiring and the newer enter, the work ethic is falling.

How dare these workers not work harder in order to pay for all the entitlements the Boomers voted for! The nerve of these young people!

In my experience young people don't want to work. I spent 5 years recently working at Walmart as a base level associate. I had made good money previously and wanted to be lazy. Not one day passed without some 20-something crying about their pay and how hard the work was. It was no harder than when I was sitting in a cube bored out of my mind and I had what was considered a physical job by Walmart standards. When I told them to go get a CDL, learn a trade or go get a warehouse job that payed $25/hr they cried about how they couldn't handle the work of a warehouse job. None of them were interested in budgeting, investing or building wealth. They all wanted to get the newest cell phone, multiple pairs of new shoes, more car than they could comfortably afford, etc. A large part of this is tied to the destruction of the education system. Uneducated people make poor choices without understanding the consequences. If you want to talk about the issues with inflation I will agree 100%. However, if you don't understand what has caused it you can't vote for politicians that will correct it. I'll give you a hint. If they have a R or D next their name they are for insane inflation and against the working class. Don't cry about a 7% interest rate. Rates should never have been below that point. Go back and look at the rates in the 70s and 80s and you'll see the boomers had 7%-18% rates on home loans to deal with.

People don’t want to work the workload of 3 people because the company laid off 2 people so they could give their ceo another bonus.

​@@OvertheHIL524 i see the opposite, in Poland at least, you have extremely willing young workers coming in at every educational level only to be met with a beton, or cement, ceiling in the form of older workers purposefully squandering our effort and keeping us away "from the real work" and refusing to teach us. Then say "well you should have made it known you want to learn" issue is we did, hundreds of times, and you ignored it orefferinf to do the cool and rewarding work and making the younger generation pencil pushers. When they describe their introduction it's exactly what it should have been. Older gen teaching them whether they wanted or not from day one so the older gen could finally take it a bit easier. Some fields are affected more than others, and each country has its own issues. Not to mention the army of busybodies hr and esg norms being hefted onto businesses which promote this BS.

@@Britt-zt6bi Now they are trying to criminalize homelessness. The reason rentals are so hard, is because a bunch of private investment firms are buying up as much property in the US as they can for the exact purpose of driving up the rent. Two things worth looking at - google the amount of USD in circulation based by year + "A nation of Renters" news article about the investment firms. Between 2010 and 2020 the rate of inflation was 3x the rate that occured between 1940 and 1985ish. That's insanity. It's also somewhat kept on the downlow as an open secret - this guy vaguely mentions it with "purchasing power decreased" but never go in depth. I remember back in High School around 2012, Oxfam released a report that stated "51% of the worlds assetts are owned by X hundred people" - since then we've had the pandemic and hyperinflation; amongst other things. The lower class is being skewered alive, the middle class is a cold dead corpse and the rich folks are just laughing their butts off about it while extracting more and more wealth everyday.

YES! 40 hours used to buy a house and provide for a whole family. There's no good reason we can't return to that economy. But we have to kick the rich out of their throwns and their say in legal policies in our country which make them richer and us poorer.

Only people who do that make bad decisions in life.

Only because they think they are special and everything should be handed to them. When you are young you are poor. It has ALWAYS been that way. You live minimally, acquire skills, save your money, move up the pay scale and acquire things slowly over time. Instant gratification is the enemy of success.

It's a cultural shift more than anything. People were having more children during the Great Depression than now. Do you think people are worse-off now than then? You get paid for having children now. People just want to be comfortable, they have no purpose in life and certainly having children is not their purpose.

So this is it what the Boomers and gen xers talked about back then being a level of affordability in the simple fact that if it disappeared out from underneath the day too would put up resistance well that's basically what's happening today why should we have to do three times the work so not even get but 10% of what you used to be able to it's bullshit. The overpromotion of hard work and or the false religion of work ethic is basically nothing more than corporate bullshit at this point it's basically false hope and it's a false religion it's just too bad that too many people have subscribed to it although I've seen evidence a lot of people are turning against they're realizing if they haven't gotten any farther than they did 16 years ago fuck 60 hour work weeks if I can't do it on 40 hours I'm just playing not doing it.

Maybe if he didn't post different values every video or incorrect information? This graph isn't about 30 year olds. It's purely about making more than your parents. A 30 year old is not likely to be making more than their parents excluding things like retirement. If they did, the next generation is even less likely to do so. My dad very likely made more than his father. I, luckily, managed to make more than my dad. My sister won't. At least not until he retires and inflation pushes the expected wage higher, which would be similar to being farther left on this graph. If I ever have kids, their chance of making more than me is nearly 0%.

​@@matthewmenteer5673 You can't find a 3 bedroom family home in my area for under 500,000. 10 years ago there were maybe 2 beautiful, huge mansions around here that were about a million dollars, now damn near every average house cost close to that amount. There's no way I'd ever be able to afford buying a home 😞

@@Terirth it's all superficial dollar amounts especially when the cost of living doubles if not triples. It's important to understand how to do mathematics but it's more so important how to understand how to do analytical mathematics. So basically yes it is that you could be making more on the hour at whatever age that your parents made back in the day but it's also true that the cost of living could be triple so it's still actually garbage. But apparently nobody wants to do math.

After high school my mom was able to afford rent, buy a 1967 Jaguar xke, go to college, and save up to take a trip to Africa all from working part time at a restaurant. And her first house was only $35,000. My dad wasn't much different, he was able to buy a brand new 1970's cb175 when he was 14 and was also able to buy a few houses and start a few businesses. Neither one of them grew up with rich parents or borrowed much money. They bought 5 acres in front of the Bighorn Mountains for around $30,000 and built a house on it, unfortunately they sold it around 2010 but it's now worth around $750,000-$1,000,000. It's insane and very frustrating to think about how things have gotten so bad so quickly.

To say it’s unattainable means even if you worked as hard as you could, you couldn’t attain it, and that’s simply not true. If that’s all you’re striving for that’s a problem right there. I have a high school education and I lived on my own for years. I have two kids now and yeah it takes the combined income of my girl and I but we have an apartment, two cars, and our kids eat well and never go without. I am not really content with where we’re at and looking to own a home eventually, but the more you want the harder you have to work for it. Do you ever stop and question what you could be doing differently, like getting into a different line of work, budgeting your money better, finding a way to make some extra money outside of your job? If you just resign yourself to your life as it is and don’t have any belief in what you could do if you really tried, then that’s where you’ll stay. My life changed when I learned a trade, but I bust my ass every day. Went in knowing nothing and made $10/hr to start while working my way up. 6 years later I’m debating starting my own company in the near future, but if I want that to succeed I’ll have to work even harder, and I value time with my kids so it’s a balancing act. Regardless you have way more options than just what you happen to be doing now, and your attitude and belief in your ability to do better is a big part of it.

It is... I cannot hustle hard enough to stay in the game, because the inflation rises faster than any way I can get promoted up the payscale, and I do well for myself in that latter area. I graduated in 2021, of course with outrages student loan debt. I made a promotion Feb 2023, I negotiated hard to get a 84% salary increase. I earn 1,5 times the mode income alone. Doesn't matter... Rent increased x3, and property increases 30-40k every couple months. While 5 years ago I could have bought a house on my own with this salary, now I can only buy a parking spot. The only way I could buy is to have a partner with a similar or better income. But we're all anxious and depressed so dating is not that optimistic either.

The US declared bankruptcy in 1913 and the final judgment was ruled as bankrupt beyond any hope of repair in 1971. The economy was dead before the Boomers showed up to the party. They just didn't understand how bad it was and did nothing to fix it.

All humans deserve that.

I’m also working full time and homeless. Thankfully I have my parents. They took me in. I work full time making well above minimum wage & I still can’t get anywhere. Rent around here runs on an income calculation of 4x rent just to qualify. So for a not even nice 2 bedroom apt you’d need to pull $6k a month. Thats $40/hr working 40 hrs a week. It’s so fkd

I'm ashamed to admit how surprised I was when I first started working at an emergency shelter by how many unhoused people are working full-time jobs.

Paying down your debt will help your family in the long run.

Check out borrowing against your 401k instead of taking it out. You won't have to pay a penalty, and you can get a low interest rate because you're borrowing your own money. Most "borrow against 401k" plans let you pay interest to yourself, i.e. the interest you pay goes into your 401k balance... because it's your own money you're borrowing. But the key advantage is that you don't pay a penalty or taxes on the 401k withdrawal. If you pull the 401k money, you'll only get about half of it... because the income taxes and penalty on the withdrawal take close to half. If you make the loan payments, everything is great. If you miss a loan payment, the bank will take the payment from your 401k... and you'll have a small distribution for that payment, which you'll need to pay a penalty and tax on. But pleeeeeease... so many people make poor financial choices because they just don't know their options. Check out borrowing against your 401k instead of withdrawing it.

"Wish I never went to college because it’s a useless piece of paper no one looks at." This isn't true. Your college degree has value, but sometimes extracting that value -- getting paid for it -- can take some time and effort. It's not automatic. You have to combine your college experience with your work ethic and work experience... and then keep your eyes open for opportunities. If your current job isn't getting you where you want to be, keep your eyes open for opportunities elsewhere. I tell my students (I teach college) that the most important factor in success is being ready willing and able to take any opportunity that comes your way. If work needs to be done, be the first in line to get it done. It's not easy, but it's worth the effort.

Well I can say that I think the environment which people grew up in was definitely have been a certain amount of benefit of the doubt but I wouldn't necessarily say that it was all handed to them. I mean it's like for instance okay so I had an old coworker the guy was like 80 years old and he was talking about from like 68 to the late seventies he paid $88 a month for a fucking apartment here in my hometown and Central Ohio. And it wasn't a bad apartment fact at the time there's apartment buildings that he was talking about were fairly new. So he paid $88 a month for his apartment and he also drove a Corvette now I get it not everybody could get a Corvette back then but at the same time I mean you know hey he paid $88 a month and so if we compare what he paid in 1968 to when my grandparents got their first apartment in 1947 and they lived there till 1951 maybe, basically their first apartment they paid $50 a month. So it took 21 years for the young guy in 1968 to pay $88 however his rent didn't really increase for pretty much 10 years. So yes I mean they definitely had it better and I would say that compared to the conditions of today yeah it does really look like it was handed to them but you know it's like he explains that you could go get the crappiest jobs I mean basically you could go pump gas which that used to be a thing if you don't know and yeah you could make you know back in the late '60s early 70s you're talking maybe about 50 two bucks an hour and you put in 36 to 40 hours a week 40 was common and you had more than enough money to pay your rent your electric bill your water bill and you still had money to burn with your buddies on the weekend. So yeah I can say that they definitely had a better time I mean fuck when my parents got there first one bedroom apartment that was in 1987 two years after I was born and they paid I believe it was $187 a month. I mean I can remember in the mid-90s you could rent a house three bedroom in my hometown and the common price range was $350 to 450 a month it just depended on where you wanted to be and what you were looking for in the house and by the way these houses were not total shit and the areas were actually pretty nice. I mean there were some options out there for like 50550 but that was usually going to be the person making more money perhaps they were single and they just wanted to put more money into having perhaps a couple more amenities via the house but a couple with three kids yeah typically you would just go get a single family home and you would pay anywhere between $350 and 4:50 a month I would say that most people probably average out about $425. What's crazy is most of those properties today if I ever see them come up for rent I mean they're literally demanding over $1,100 it's fucking crazy and of course a lot of people say well you know but that's been like 20 25 years and I'm going well yeah I mean I can kind of see that except you know what actually no because 18 to 20 years ago the red prices were literally the same as they were in the mid to late night so basically somewhere in the past 18 years the rent was creeping up basically it all got started in 2006 around here and I'm in central Ohio. But I remember a lot of shit that was previously 450 went straight up to 600 625 a lot of things that was 550 shot straight up to like $700 I mean that was the wacky environment of 2006 and then by the time you get into the 2010s basically last decade you end up in a situation where a lot of places became standardly priced somewhere between six 80 to 8:50 I mean there was a big gap and a lot of that depended still on maybe the area you want to live in what was rounded I mean they use anything and everything to charge you a price. But I can say somewhere in the past 6 years it doesn't really matter what in town you want to live in so it doesn't no longer matter if it's the ghetto or the Ritz the cheapest you're going to find is at least $850 a month on average and that is more so quickly becoming well over a thousand I mean that's basically where we are.

Basically this is the result of failed leftist policies. Men no longer control Society women do. And what do we see? Inflation is out of control, the quality of our education system has gone down precipitously, the Democrats which are mostly supported by women allow tens of millions of illegal immigrants to come in lowering the cost of Labor and costing us trillions in services. The Democrats go soft on drugs so now over 200 people a day die just from Fentanyl overdose. The whole nation is being destroyed.

Not everything was handed to them.

@@jimziemer474yes, it was. They grew up in an era where you could get a job able to support a house and 4 kids right out of college, when the economy was in the best condition it’s ever been and when hard work actually came with rewards.

You mean audacity right?
