But that aside lets look at the facts. Just look at now, most families need a double income to survive, Half of what both those people make goes towards putting a roof over their heads and even more to put food on the table. want a new vehicle (which I've never owned) plan on spending 30-50% of what your house cost (or more)....


See - that is your generation's problem. You can't even do simple math. Or you have really bad judgement. Or both.


What a load of horsecrap.


It's easy to say something is crap, why don't you actually make a legible response and back up your horse crap comment. Unless you want to say the average person lives in a 500,000 home and drives a kia. now I appreciate your attempt at a blow by suggesting I have real bad judgement and or am bad at math, because you haven't a leg to stand on. I gave your generation it's credit, you saw opportunity and you seized it. that opportunity no longer exists the way it once did. it does to a little degree, but not nearly like it was even when I was a kid.
Here is a little info to get you up to speed. Just for a point of reference, I served in the US Navy and then went to college later so I guess even though I'm a Gen Xer, I probably fall more inline with the millenials as far as stage of my life and occupational level. and I'm ok with that since I pretty much have a job that most would kill for and I have control over my schedule. I however am the exception, not the rule.
