What has floored me since Covid has been inflation. It’s much higher than has been reported. I’ll be ok. I am just surprised at how quickly prices have risen. I knew there was a high price to pay for shutting down the economy and pumping it up with lots of cash.

That’s the best summation of it I’ve seen so far

Yes. It’s really really really bad.

Boomers as a generation legitimately could fall upwards if they had an ounce of work ethic and no addictions.

This is my favorite one. Guys on here will drink $150/week of beer that they sit at home and drink by themselves and shite on a 27 year old for grabbing brunch with friends on a Saturday

I graduated high school last decade. My story is irrelevant, but it was mostly delayed gratification. And my parents teaching me that living in shitty housing to save up money to start a business while working w2 is the way to go.

Inflation is still a bitch and costs probably aren't going to go down.

Try 60 years ago. Having both parents working has been a necessity for quite some time.
Correct. That’s more 1960s when we saw a common single income family structure.
Houses were also like 1/3 the size of what they are today.

Depends. Supposedly hotels, flights and gas are all down compared to last Labor Day.

Other than the absolute frick over that housing costs have become….where are you seeing this?
Restaurants and grocery stores are busy. Shopping areas around me are painfully and annoying crowded.
I think if we fix housing and onshore some more manufacturing….we are in decent shape.

I can afford them, easily. That doesn’t make it not suck to drop $2k on something that was $1.2k some 5 years ago
So finance is a poor choice of a major now? Real question because I hear various opinions.

Completely irrelevant to the discussion

I’m not sure what you just proved? You’re so enthralled with being combative that you’re not even really making sense.
