We’re red-circling posts from REDDIT now?!
The quality of the internet diminishes daily.
I appreciate it. On mobile it can be hard to see sometimes. Often i have to click the image and blow it up, especially stuff from the 'chans'.
I managed to break the curse and am far more successful than my parents. It happened through a lot of hard work, persistence, a lot of luck, a hefty gift from my ex’s rich aunt and uncle, and even more luck.
Anyone can do it.
Who do you think bought my car? My parents? Please.
It was their parents
My grandparents have been bailing my parents out of financial trouble their entire lives. Me? I got some cash for a down payment on a house, and I presently make more than ny parents do combined
Doing better than my boomer parents? Hahahahaha
I'll settle for just doing better than a majority of my millennial peers.
It's fucking insane. With the exception of a few of my peers, we're all highly skilled, some with over a decade of experience, some with two incomes, and there's no way any of us can afford to buy a house in the area we work anymore. The only ones who did bought their houses right after school with help from their parents. Rent sure, own a home, not a chance here. So either rent forever, commute more, live with our parents, or find another job. It's a rock and a hard place.
Yes and no. Less lonely than living by yourself and you can cook in bulk, but also you get sick of your family after living with them for a while. Also if you're cramming 3 generation into a 3 bedroom because of financial constraints that's pretty rough.
Sure, but specifically in a culture where it's overall disadvantagious to still live at home as a young adult: Not really, ya know?
I love my parents, but I've been ready to live separately from them for a long time.
Everybody has the same opportunities to be successful in life. And now so more than ever. Go out and grab life by the horns and stop complaining
Thanks, I’ve been trying to talk some common sense around here and mostly just get downvotes, no good deed goes unpunished
My parents were bad with money. No terrible, just mad. So I am doing better!
A lot better but only because the communists took my mother's family's business and property
I'm doing better than my parents but only because in post Soviet times my family was even poorer, so it's sorta been gradually improving over the generations. I was able to get better education, better job than my parents ever had an actual opportunity to. But they did try very hard to set me and my sister up with that opportunity, so I'm grateful for that.
I'm definitely doing better than my parents. But they were horrible with money so it's not like it was a high bar.
