Nowadays it's fucking impossible to do what you want to do and survive... There's no way anyone in 2020 could start an electronics shop and not have to wageslave 40 hours a week just to pay for their apartment...

What I'm trying to say is that economically things seemed so much fucking easier in the 80's, especially as a young adult... Want to spend a summer working on a farm and have enough money to pay your rent for the rest of the year? Go ahead. Want to do that nowadays? You're lucky if working 40 hrs on that farm even pays your fucking rent for a month. Want to buy a house out of high school on a part time job? Sure! You can get a great house for only 15k, anyone could afford that! Want to do that nowadays? You're lucky if you find a shitty mobile home for less than 20k, and it's most likely in a 55+ park that you have to pay out the ass for...

You can't do anything spontaneous these days without being fucking beat down by life... Want to open your own business? In 1980, you could just buy a little storefront, buy some products and BOOM, open for business! Want to do it in 2020? Congrats, you're now at LEAST 50k in debt that you probably will never pay off... Want to travel to Europe and start a band? In 1980, that would be completely realistic! Start a band, work 2 days a week at a coffee shop, and BOOM, you've got yourself a nice little record deal! Nowadays? You're lucky if you even get to Europe...

I just want to fucking make music and have a place to live without fucking working my entire life away... I just want to enjoy life.... I don't want to have to spend 40 hours a week working for fucking peanuts that barely even cover my fucking rent...

Its the expansion young nigga, blame immigrants n shit. Or blame some one nigga quite being a bitch. Can't beleive i let my black ass take the time to read this gay shit work harder white boy

stfu nigger

You're a loser. Finding excuses instead of possibilities. Our economic enviroment is still great for people who waht to innovate, work their ass off and get successful. Super easy in IT, egineering, healthcare, whatever.

But you're a lazy art pussy. You are so far from understanding how success works, it blows my mind. You have no concept whatsoever of providing value to people who are in turn willing to pay for it. But of course you want it all, someone else can work to give you a house, food, healthcare. Because you're special, right?

All too true user. I fall under the mobile home part of your post. I'm working 40 hours a week and still my power gets cut off at times, I've had to default on a car, gas is soon going to be turned off, and I'm relying on food stamps to eat.

Writing this on mobile with a data cap of 3GB. Almost gone. This world is fucking harsh user. I'm about to say fuck it and relapse back into an alcoholic if this shit keeps going the way it's been.

The only reason I haven't relapsed is because I don't want to get evicted from spending what little I make on alcohol...

I totally feel you user.

don't fucking call me that whitey cracka ass bitch, im sitting back with a beer what the fuck are you doing? Go clean the dishes or some shit you fucking fag. Niggas mom prolbably paid the fucking rent with her credit card or some off shit. Fuck white people they're so damn useless

You completely missed my point you utter retard.

I don't want to work in healthcare or IT or engineering because those are fucking mind numbing jobs that only NPC's go for.

NOBODY should have to work to afford food and a place to stay... At least not 40 hours to barely make ends meet...

no you're sounding a bit socialist bud. what kind of fucking music do you make again?

Kill yourself.

How are some people happy working retarded dead end jobs that have no creativity involved? You must be a fucking dumbass to actually enjoy your useless little existence in this country.

Sucks if you were a lazy faggot at school. Getting education is for pussies anyway, right?

I got a degree in IT. I can choose to work for 150k per year in a company, freelance or run my own IT company with higher potential income, but also risk. Just like in every other industry my job will be handled by automation soon. So I put back money to live off it and possibly change to something else. Healthcare is gonna be a huge thing for the next 50 years. Nobody cares if you're not being smart about your job and income strategy. It is my responsibility to think long term and arrange that shit for myself. But better drink away the last penny. Fuck tomorrow, right? Fucking losers.

So who's providing your home and food and healthcare? Other people working. But you want your shit for free? Off yourself, fucking nigger.

Joke's on you, buddy. I work and I play. I'm 32 and already have enough passive income to never work again. I do enjoy my work, but that's not the point. If you don't take care of the minimum, your life sucks. Nobody cares that you don't like work. Nobody is going to give you shit for free. Why would they? Why would I? In this world you have to work for your lifestyle. If you're smart about it it won't even hurt much. If you're lazy, you will suffer your whole life.

Actually OP, it isnt because of economis alone, that guy was probably born into an already wealthy family. Not everyone in the 80s was taking vacations in Singapore, and the fact that you think such an expensive trip was easily attainable by anyone shows you clearly dont know what youre talking about.
I do however agree that late stage capitalism fucks the individual more than anyone, but some white people sure are keen on keeping around because "hurr durr lol maybe Ill be rich too one day working a dead end job at mcdonalds"

I'm not asking for shit for free you fucking retard. I'm asking for a job that will pay me enough to have some fucking free time, as well as being able to pay my fucking bills and rent. Working 40 hours a week is not living... It's called being a fucking wageslave.

40 hours work per week is 128 hours not working. Fucking lazy faggot.

Also, should have gotten education. I could easily live working 15 hours per week with my qualified job. Don't blame the world for your stupidity and idiotiv life choices. It's all you.

It's the fact that if you want to open a small business (that will probably crumble and fail,) you need to fucking either work for about 10 years to afford a storefront or a shop, or take out 30k in debt on a fucking heads or tails chance that you'll be able to pay it back. You probably won't be able to, and then it's back to fucking wageslaving for the rest of your life. Keep in mind this doesn't include paying for food and rent... These days it's either take out massive amounts of debt and go to college, or wageslave your entire fucking life in a shithole apartment.

Of course the first year after opening a store is hard and will require a lot of work. But it's your business, so you're by definition not a wageslave.

Also, a flight to singapore is like 800$. That's nothing.

Wage growth has been stagnate for 30 years while cost of living and inflation march ever forward.
I think the biggest piece of the puzzle is the lie they feed us called "the trickle down effect." The only thing trickling down is shit.

You're the epitome of retarded boomer, off yourself.

Okay, how about you work 40 hours a week standing on a shitty concrete floor you fucking faggot. making $7 an hour...

Working 40 hours a week comes out to 8 fucking days of free time a MONTH. That's only 96 days a fucking year to yourself... That's 269 fucking days of the year working.... How does that sound enjoyable to you? Fucking boomer.

My hour pays 80$ and the chill job a chose over the stressful well paid one. I take months off at a time to travel the world, because money is no issue for me. Companies are begging me to work for them because I can deliver shit they need. That's what the boomer with education can do.

Don't blame other people or the world for your retarded life choices. Untrained labour for retards with 6th grade reading levels pays 7$. That's already too much.

What's your job user?

Checked

Ok boomer

Uuuuh, that hurt, Kiddo.

I'll buy you burger and a beer. Probably will be your greatest joy this month. Cool?

Software development in TX. I change job every two years with 4 to 6 months breaks in between. Was traveling SE asia, Latin America, Europe. One time I just spent a summer gaming in my house with buddies.

Job doesn't matter. Could be engineering, healthcare, accounting. Economy and job market for any qualified job is awesome.

Age? Education, qualifications?

32, BSc+MSc in CS, 8 years experience in the industry, mostly software development in engineering. I seem to be pretty good at investing too and I'm not blasting away my money.

Everyone has to work, you cant fucking lean back in the sofa doing nothing. Nothing is free and have never been.

In the medievals you had to plow the fucking mark to survive and you still have to nowadays in some way or another, if you want a good life.

Sounds cool, glad to hear you're doing good user

Work 8 hours a day, sleep 8 hours a day, average commute is 1 hour 30 minutes, so that's 3 hours commute time.
30 minutes dinner 30 minutes lunch.
8 hours work
+
8 hours sleep
+
3 hour both ways traffic
+
1 hour eating
= 20 hours wasted without even calculating shitting showering or brushing your teeth, or breakfast. So, at the end of the day you have 4 fucking hours left to do something.
4hrs x 5days =20 hours mon-friday of free time.
Sat/sun x10hrs (food, clean, shower, teeth, -8 or more hours sleep a day)=20
So you only have 40 fuckin hours a week to do something, restricted on 2 days and you might as well half sunday because nobody does shit on sundays.
And what do you have at the end of the day? 1/3 of your gross income is your profit, so the bills barely get shafted.
