Bro the older generation had it EASY....

@Merica197138 Cry babies I’m 56 and I busted my ass to get where I am I’m sorry if you’re not willing to do that. Here’s my angle as a business owner these youngsters are the laziest most self entitled ass holes I’ve ever worked with.

This stupid MF doesn’t know his head from his ass. Our parents didn’t give us a fucking thing but 3 square meals and a ass whipping. We working at 10 years old , doing homework, chores, shoveling driveways, mowing lawns for a dollar a lawn .

Bro. I mean Bro. Be a plumber or an electrician. Cuz bro, like. Bro.

You have a defeatist attitude! First we never whined or complained. Learn a blue collar trade! Not a master’s in architecture! Coding will be dominated by AI but a plumber, electrician, master carpenters will always be in demand! With a will there’s a way!

Bro, Industrial Parks are hiring everyday....you youngsters just don't want to work. You lay out. You're late constantly. You want to leave early. You always want days off. One sniffle and you're out for a week. I've been in manufacturing my whole adult life. This is BS.

The older generation learned a trade Bro … worked our way up Bro, created a career, many times a budiness, depended no one but ourselves Bro … Worked hard, something Bro, you know nothing about Bro … and we didn’t sit around bitching & whining about it Bro🙄🙄🙄

Yeah, maybe the problem is the inability to not say bro every three seconds. Maybe that's why you can't have a serious job, that makes good money. Perhaps you're not as educated as you think you are, bro.

Well, those young fkrs probably voted for the sh!t a$$ politicians who made it that way!!!

Oh really, my father worked on skyscrapers. He was a civil engineer. When I was 16 he took me to work on a Saturday. I came home hurting from climbing over mountains of dirt. He did that every day. Woke up at 3am just to warm up the car. He helped build the standard oil building.

And didn’t need a $1500 phone each year. It was great. My mom bought her first home in1970 for $20K sold it in 2005 for $1M

I’m not sure he understands what it means to work hard. I mean real hard work, the kind no one sees and no one gives praise. The kind that makes you better because you’re proving something to yourself. Thriving is pinching pennies and denying yourself. If that is what he sees and thinks, then LIFE HAS TAUGHT HIM NOTHING!!

This kid is right, it doesn’t matter how hard we work anymore, we can’t get ahead. I don’t care what any of you boomer fucks say, it’s true. You grew up in the best economic timeframe in history, we’re growing up in the worst.

@horsegirl "Bro" ....... I am so sick and tired of this flippant "Bro" mentality outta his age group. I ain't your "Bro"! 🤬 F-O punk. You're a beta male at best. I'll take the alpha males of yesteryear over any of you disrespectful cretins.

In 1971 they were making an oz of gold a week fuck their entire livelihood

For all the boomers in the comments.

Oh? They forgot to tell you they had to start from the bottom and have some financial discipline huh? You think the “good job” just fell into their lap overnight huh?

For all the salty boomers rage commenting, all he was saying was g is you guys could work hard at a regular job and afford a house where it’s ten times harder for us to do the same. Cope, it’s just true

That kid is an idiot. I grew up poor and busted my butt to get ahead. We didn’t do what young people today do. We didn’t spend our money frivolously and order door dash constantly.

What skills does this fine young man have?

Not true at all!!! Your generation wants that good paying position without having to actually work for it.

I love all these boomers crying as if they had a phone they could be called anytime on the days they had off, or learning to type along with excel, word etc. There are boomers today with 6 figure jobs that can’t use those programs, yet it’s a requirement leaving high school

Wrong young man. Do a trade with little to no debt and get paid to learn. Electrian, plumber, carpenter, HVAC, etc. We're short in the trades and the money is good.

It’s not that they had it easier, it’s that the monetary, economic, immigration policies have fucked over young people. Poor wages/inflation, fewer manufacturing jobs, too much low-skilled labor. Join the military, do 4 years, get a degree and experience in a profession. Makes you a desirable hire if you do the work. Or you can make it a career.

The older generations didn't spend thousands on streaming and gaming subscriptions a year, didn't go to Starbucks every morning and waste $12 on a coffee, they made it at home. They didn't overextend themselves and have a $2500/mo car payment, they drove what they could pay cash for.

@Thevictoria76 Bro, gonna offer you different perspective. Older gen had to get off there ass to change channels, wait until Saturday morning for cartoons & Friday night for videos. Life has never been easier or more instant. Stop being a victim, bro.

I am 68 years old. My first paycheck job was at 12. I worked before that, but that was the first job where I actually got a paycheck and a W-2. In the eighth grade, I used to finish washing dishes at midnight and go home and have to get up for school in the morning. I now employ about 100 people and most of them are under 30 years old. I can still out work most of them. I worked hard. Heck, when I was 32 years old, I decided I was going to get ahead and so I took a job that didn’t have much salary, but had some upside. That meant if I worked hard then maybe I would be rewarded. It was not guaranteed. I averaged over 100 hours per week for well over a year. There were nights I just stayed up. There were other nights I grabbed a couple of hours of sleep at work and got up and did it all over again. And when I was at work, I worked. I wasn’t on break, I wasn’t on my phone and if I found myself standing still, I found something to do that was productive. I can say with certainty that none of the hundred people that I work with have half the work ethic that I did.

Learn trade or take a hobey "not sure if this generation knows what that means" work hard start your own business, it's not easy but the rewards are wonderful. Read & follow this:

I see every last one of you in these comments saying get a blue collar job when the starting pay is the exact same as it was 50 years ago which does not equate how much it should start at fucking morons

Dude, Bro, like...Grow the fuck up. And speak like an adult. You're not a Valley Girl from the 80's, you're a grown ass man. Act like it. NO generation had it easier than you have it today.

Kids got a point guys. Shit used to be way cheaper. Things have doubled and tripled over the past 10 years alone, yet wages remain stagnant. You used to be able to live a relatively comfortable lifestyle at minimum wage while being on your own. Now you just can't.

I bet you have a phone, car, cable, internet, nice clothes, hot food, a gallon of milk. Didn't have any of those things and worked 60 hrs a week and didn't eat two days before payday. You wouldn't make it

I'd very much prefer being a young adult in the 80s/90s. It was a golden age compared to what we have now

We didn't have leaders that taxed the hell out of us like now too.

The older generation didn’t smoke weed . This guy is completely ripped .

I'm retired from union school district maintenance. Excellent pay, cost of living raises, not every year, some were retroactive. Step pay raises 1st 10 years, then every 5 after. Great health insurance, job security. Life's not easy when your a victim! Quit your crying!
