And to think we were so happy as teenagers and young adults when we got our first jobs. LOL I wish I could go back to July 2009 and backslap myself because this was never it! LMAO. I have been working since I was 16 years old, and now I am nearly 32 years old and I am exhausted!

Entrepreneurship is the new wave

❤

What’s good queen? Looking great as always. America is in trouble. Have you tried Lidl? It’s owned under the same company as Aldi but the store is bigger and they have a balanced mixed between generic and name brand

There's just a massive disconnect. We feel it. They dont. Not to be a "Judas," and spend other peoples money in my mind, but heres an example from my own life: I have a wife and two children. We live within walking distance of my parents. I grew up fairly independent (moved out at at 16, of my own will.) My mother insists she wants to "help" me, my wife, and my children. I rarely asked for anything, except help with bills a few years ago. Currently, I am financially struggling due to nearly 3k of emergency expenses happening all at once. Tree fell on the house, had to get tree removed, have to patch the roof, have to get new glasses (mine broke, and I'm not technically legal to drive without them), have to replace a section of floor in my home, and replace the entire plumbing system of my home. All of this needs to happen in the next ~3 months, while also affording to feed a breastfeeding mother and a child; and our food cost have doubled in the last year, thanks to inflation. My entire adult life has been financial hardships, so I'm not really stressing; but I cannot ignore how diluted my (boomer) family is. I informed my parents of the financial struggles we're enduring, and their response was pretty much "wow, that sucks. We we could help, but we're financially struggling too." Then they buy a 2024 truck, and a new side-by-side within two weeks of telling me they "are struggling." I can suffer; but I cannot live within a lie.

I subscribed🎉

I went into the army, spent entire nights on how to not fucking do this bs work anymore. Saved nearly all my paycheck. Got out, went to college, got paid to go to college. Started investing. Did really good. 28 now, can afford to retire. I owe it all to Big Dick Rick (tm) and his amazing 6 course work program that taught me to not be poor. In all seriousness, people lack financial education. Nearly all the people at the store where I work for fun, have zero idea. If they know something, it's because they got it from their parents. Otherwise they are screwed and waste money. One of my employees told me he literally doesn't know where his money goes. And these are hardworking people, they just don't know the value of a dollar at all.

The most over qualified yet underpaid generation 😢

I hate the comments that are like be grateful hehe. Actually, no, wealth disparity is actually the widest it’s ever been. I study history and I think problems change but do I think the present is the most fortunate? In a lot of ways it isn’t and it could be headed backwards UNLESS we make noise and complain!

Mainly, we are not taught financial freedom tactics because that’s not how our economy is set up. The uneducated are the base of the pyramid that pays the bulk of society’s income. To keep the majority just barely well/healthy enough to pay medical, bills and do low end labor/stressful jobs for the upper classes. If everyone was educated, our current economy would collapse. So, the only way out is through knowledge. Please encourage family, friends and children to seek out how our current economy system works and how to grow from it. Debt doesn’t need to be the only way to learn.

Personally, 9-5 jobs- Stresses may not be you fault and you have little control over most aspects. Business owner- More stress but essentially is tied more directly to your achievements and failures. So you can take on more or less depending on your emotional ability at that moment. Having more control over the stresses you take on, changes the dynamic considerably. In comparison to you doing your best, but others dropping the ball and making your position potentially miserable.

I'm trying to get out of the teaching field. I am tired plus I am taking my pre- reqs before applying to Nursing school. I am just tired of working with other people disrespectful kids and not getting paid enough for it either. I don't even want kids anymore. I want a dog I can't even afford that.We are all struggling out here. And I'm asking God why me.

Imagine the 18-year-olds who have no idea what they're signing up for are taking out these loans because people they trust are promising that this is normal and everyone does it and it's doable... The fact that schools don't teach basic financial principles and send them out into the world like this and then say " but you took out the loans, that was your choice" Is extremely predatory. These poor kids don't even have a chance.

Gen Z and Millennials worldwide are feeling this way, we're going to experience a global meltdown and chaos before 2030 gets here. Well, that's my prediction anyway, the elites better get ready bc once Gen Alpha become adults it's about to be unprecedented chaos

86’ baby! The struggle is REAL! I live in Toronto, Canada and rent is $2600 for a one bedroom apartment! The average 4 bedroom home is no less than 1 mil. I am a nurse and graduated with 52k in debt. Parents are Baby Boomers and just can’t seem to wrap their minds around the struggle we are facing.

I was just laid off and I definitely screwed since it was my only source of income but now I got time to invest in figuring it out. I want to focus on my passions but I definitely am looking for work because I need income to invest in my passions luckily I have a good chuck of things to start and now I want to start something. I can't do content creation I don't want to put myself out there I get so nervous.

and worst part is there is shortage of jobs because of automation 😢

The economy is nothing more than a pendulum... just survive the winter

Because those of yesterday sacrificed the future for those today

Just go look at the profit margins and the actual gross of most companies nowadays. It's actually more than double what it was even 10-15 years ago, meaning they are making that much more money per item being sold. Did your wages increase by 50-100% to match the amount of money these companies are bringing in? Hell no! It's not that people DON'T want to work, it's that the jobs simply don't pay enough!

Girl in video I feel just like her she’s on point and I AGREE 100% with her I’m 54 and tired of working and being a slave we need to wake up and realize this is not the way of how we should live and expect to be happy

So how much have you made so far?

This is so ignorant. Dummies don't realize being a business owner makes you a bigger slave than a employee. When you take on owning a business.. your customers become your boss. "Content creator" sounds real good until you realize you will have to conform to what the audience desires for you to be. Say the wrong thing.. you will be canceled .. aka fired. Newsflash: nothing worth having in life is free. It costs to be the boss and it ain't gettin no cheaper

it just modernized slavery, mortgage, student-loans, rent, and insurance are the new shakles

It's going to get harder and harder until we turn away from debt based system and apply what Jesus told us to reach the kingdom of heaven here on earth and that's "forgive each other of our debts" as we say in prayer but don't actually consider in this system

Capitalism could care less about the collective. This government system is about individualism designed by individuals who can't be in the sun leading them to implement self centered living ie Capitalism.. crak ....ers

Your video was extremely refreshing, im happy i found your channel. I was fortunate enough to realize college student loans became predatory. So after a community college run, i left for a trade job instead. Currently, still no "huge success" but I did manage to buy a home. I remained single for sad reasons. I'm slowly but surely paying off my home. I rarely trust any boomer tbh, I honestly think they are the biggest reason why we millennials, as well as gen z, are struggling to succeed.

I’m not broke🫡

My husband and I were barraged with the "you're just lazy/entitled/spoiled" for years until he entered into law enforcement and then they turned on to just me being all those things because we haven't had 5+ kids by now (we've been married 10 years, 11 this year). When we tell them "We can't afford to have kids" we get "That's just an excuse lazy couples use" or "It's not THAT expensive to have kids! OR do you actually not want them? Why do you hate kids!?" even though we tell them "We WANT KIDS. WE CAN'T AFFORD APARTMENTS AND KIDS" then it's "Then get a house!" and the cheapest house requirement is $4000+ monthly income plus some other fees to qualify. Sure my husband makes a comfortable wage now, but he didn't get his raise that had been promised because our state wasted the entirety of the budget, so we had to hold off again. We had both grown up in Miami, and the CHEAPEST apartment was 2.9k per month, we had to move out because it's impossible. Then our families want us to move back when no one could help us, like you said, the sense of community. We are also taking care of my mom who ended up needing emergency heart surgery due to an undetected condition a good portion of her life. It saved her, but it left her without the ability to work, and her doctor says she doesn't need disability because she can still move around and is healthy enough, but she CANNOT WORK. So...The income for a kid goes into also helping mom out with her medical insurance. Yeah. I lost my job where my boss berated me and treated me like an idiot primarily because I am a woman, and sure I learned a lot there, but nEVER AGAIN. Then applying to other jobs all were met with "oh we already filled the position" even though they left the listing up. And these Boomers that I used to respect would look at me and say "there's jobs available, but I can't give you a job because I want you to 'experience the real world first' meanwhile we were in the red prior to my husband's current job. It sucks. IT ALL SUCKS. And yet when we want minimum wage increased, or better job environments, nope we're just entitled and lazy. We're all so tired... Oh and don't get me started on how much I'm looked down by everyone because I decided to become a freelance artist. Being a Millennial sucks, everyone hates you just for trying to survive; I sympathize with Gen Z, and onward. We need change, but whenever we push for it, we're punched back down. It's so tiring, it's so exhausting, and that's why we just cope with funny internet memes and videos. We all just kinda gave up.

I do dislike pouring my time into a job. There is no fulfillment, only a check, and I can't get that time back, which is priceless or my health.

Actually it's wrong the 'older' part of the Millenials from the end of the 80's are actually doing great and better then the Boomers. Me for example i do way better than my parents. Bought a house in 2015. I have a regular job, Bachelor engineering nothing special. I now have cash Tesla, and LTV of 50% on a freestanding newbuild big house. My parents had a tiny house, had to work hard both of them for that. I own a huge house, cash paid Tesla and all did it by myself being single. Millenials are richer than Boomers... but probably only the older millenials from the 80's.

weaponized incompetence for marige. wow...how to say you hate men without saying you hate men...

Great video

Gen X has been screaming this since 2000. And it has only gotten worse.

Ugh. I’m barely making it. Making less than $20 an hour and spending 60% of my income on rent (this is with a roommate). I’m simply no earning enough. But I’m going back to college (no previous college degree) taking Physics and computer science. I don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel yet but I keep marching.

Thank you for the content!! All we need is the right advice on how to invest in crypto and we will be set for life, I made over a million dollars from trading this year regardless of the market conditions😊

I want you to be my girl. ❤ That's it, that's all. But I know you married, so that's off limits.

Good earned suscriber here, will be loyal for life, such quality. Praised be Kenyata.

Gen Xer here, I feel bad for you guys. This stuff started back with some the things from the mid 60s. You've inherited decades of incompent and insane social and economic policies. My advice for your generation is to try to position yourself to move out of the country and live as an expat in a country with a lower standard of living and wait it out. That is my plan.

OH that feeling of stress and anxiety about a job is the worst. I got a new manager at an old job that started making me come to work with that feeling. Never doing it again, even for one week. That anxiety will just spill over into other things and keep making you feel worse and worse. Good luck in getting out of that situation, you will start feeling better and better every day.

One of the primary reasons we dont have wealth is because inflation due to constant unrestricted government spending. The government can no longer pay back its loans so inflation snd devaluation of the currency is the only way to pay them back. This means assets soar in value and the dollar loses value. It also makes it harder and harder to get these assets. The other half is the simultaneous push towards advanced AI and automation. As inflation wrecks the market, AI and advanced automation also monstrously decrease the value of LABOR which is one of the primary mechanisms of being an employee. Both of these combined is insanity.

Keep it up !! I'm middle income working multiple jobs and the stress is beginning to manifest. Its good that we utilize outlets like this to work through the stress. Diamonds are only formed under pressure.

Girl you were actually blessed your gorgeous❤❤❤

We see the propaganda for what it is. The boomers are upset that they bought it. And the worst part is that they have no idea and all of the wealth.

My dad was making $20/hour in the 80’s. He had a 2 story huge house and his mortgage was only $500/month. Now that same job pays $45/hour but mortgage is $2400/month

No one talks about the opioid epidemic in Gen x (gen z parents). A lot of us Gen z don't have parents or family we can rely on because of how bad it got in the late 90's and early 2000's, and there's nothing we can do for them as we get older.

Gen X feels the same way but no one even has our needs on the radar. I find Millenials and Gen Z ♥refreshing and I support and concur that you are correct about what is going on.

The Millennial generation is one that has experienced the most change. The arrival of the internet, social media, smartphones, and the 2008 financial crisis all happened simultaneously. Many were teenagers when all this occurred. In contrast, Generation Z did not undergo these changes; they were born with the technology, while Millennials have had to constantly adapt. Millennials are the most broken.

Y’all think retirement is far away, it is quicker than you think. I rather work and be secure later than living in my car. I retire from teaching and work another job plus do crafting. Life is all about choices

LADIES START BEING GOLD DIGGERS AND LIVE OFF OF MEN....SPRINKLE SPRINKLE!!!
