I'm confused, I thought the maximum amount allowed under student loans was way under 250k, how did she get so much paid back?

I am not trying to pry or accusing you of anything, its just that my kids are off to college soon and trying to figure all these loans out - itis complicated!

Most young men think Trump isn’t far right enough

I'm not a boomer, but how exactly did boomers accomplish all this?
A lot of the problem is from things they didn’t accomplish
The boomers parents fought for things.
These people got out and protested when the government interfered with their schools so much that the national guard had to be called in

Do you travel overseas, Gaucho?
Have you compared, firsthand, US lifestyles with lifestyles elsewhere?

Bringing in 8-12 million illegals, giving them government benefits, and putting them into homes tends to push the housing market upward with demand.
Bad for these younger ones.

Hard to feel bad for people who can't see Trump is actually trying to help them.
Good point.

first off national debt has nothing to do with your life it may some day that remains to be seen. so far it's had no effect.
i bought my first house in 1990 i was 29 we payed 92k for it in a great neighborhood, it had sat on the market for over a year, needed a lot work we sold it two years later of 140k 1600 square feet one a half baths
adjusted for inflation my house would have cost about 225k in 2023 when my son bought his first house for 270k 1600 square feet 2 true baths but the kicker his house was already done before they bought it was completely renovated has a cool wet bar in the den with one of those wine refrigerators built into it.
houses don't cost 6.8 times your annual income in little rock they cost 2.5 times your annual income. we've got a brand new subdivision being built near the costco 2100 square feet 3/2's starting at 315k.
he wanted an older home in an established neighbor which is what my wife and always had.
you really didn't answer my question i asked you what things personally don't you have that you thought you would have by now not generationally this notion of if everybody doesn't do good nobody does good that's not how america really works

You should join their team. They will get back at everyone you want to get back at. That's their thing.

Your reference is to Vietnam?
Seriously?
Do you have any concept as to the life disruption associated with the draft of young men during wartime? I'll answer for you. Like me, you can guess. You can imagine. But in the end you have NO clue. The difference between you and me is, you don't seem to realize it.

Back in the day you’d do your 8 hours with your friends at the fun factory job that had a pension and then you’d go get drunk at the bowling alley and then you’d hop in your $2000 chevelle or whatever and drive home to your $12000 house and your wife that didn’t have to work. This was the American dream George Washington intended

Right. We live in an era where our starving are obese and our poor live like the middle class used to. But yeah, it's way worse because someone on X told you so.

I feel like the boomers could’ve stopped the destruction of the church though. That’s all happened in the last 30 years

Instead of sending out 2000 bucks to everyone but me trump should send out a slip where you can get a day off work and some crab legs and a 40 from the grocery store so a working stiff can see how the other half lives

This is a deep and complex issue.
Many of us GenX had to work for 15 or 20 or 30 years to get to the point where we were finally blanketed in some modicum of comfort. We made sacrifices early and often. We drove beaters and often existed off of Ramen noodles for sustenance. We did without internet, cable and satellite TV. We bargain shopped for clothes.
Beginning with mid-millennials and now with GenZ, the expectation leveled upon them by the Narrative Control Apparatus and the Establishment pop culture advertising industrial complex, is much higher. They've been programmed to think that either straight out of high school or college, they must have the latest cars, the newest iPhones, expensive media subscriptions, Lululemon workout clothes, Louie Vitton apparel and be able to treat themselves to $40 lunch breaks every day.
They're expecting, right out of the gate, to just receive all the things that the rest of us have worked our whole lives to obtain.
Now I do recognize that their cost of living is much higher than ours was starting off, but they just need to recognize that nothing good is free, and nothing free is good. We must sacrifice things to get ahead in the long run. But it's too easy for the narrative control apparatus to whip their young ideological sheep into an emotional tizzy about how "unfair" it is that previous generations have more than they do.
And nearly all of them grew up not wanting for anything, which is a big part of the problem. I grew up so poor that our cockroaches ate better than I did, and always heard the whisperings of "he'll never amount to anything" and "he's poor white trash" and "we'll pay for his welfare for his entire life". Yeah? From the time I turned 17 and began working, I never took a government handout and never even applied for any assistance. I worked, hard. And now I'm pushing 50 and borderline upper-middle class statistically. I had to work my arse off for it and no one EVER handed me ANYTHING.
The younger struggling generations need to engage in introspect and step outside of their bubble to look back in. This world will fricking chew you up and spit you out if you let it, or you can kick, punch and claw your way along and eventually make it if you just stay motivated. The internet age of instant results and gratification, along with the age of psyops and emotional manipulation and gaslighting, has all but ruined these people.
/rant.
TL/DR:
If you're working and broke, look at whatever sacrifices you can make, and ask yourself what you can do to improve your monetary gain in today's competitive market. Stop complaining about not having what you haven't earned yet.
It's simple,
People don't actually understand the pitfalls of a white color, consumer culture.
We are a consumer culture, and it's destructive.
