Hard work

When I was young, I was poor. But after decades of hard work, I'm not young anymore

I used to be poor. I'm still poor, but I used to be, too.

The absence of affordable housing is a failure of the state. working your whole life to pay for housing is the rigging of the system.

It's intentional. We are all just serfs

One day my boss rolled up in a fancy new car, I had grown up in a family that did better than middle class and still I had never seen such luxury. I was reminded of how I was promised the world, and given scraps, never to enjoy the same level of financial freedom as my grandparents.

But then my boss put his hand on my shoulder, he saw the pain in my eyes, and he reassured me

"Listen, if you work hard, apply yourself, put the company's needs before your own wants..."

My heart sang, could this be the secret to my salvation? "I'll finally get that raise"

My boss laughed. "No, I can get a nicer car by the next fiscal year."

More like "put the company's wants before your own needs".

Landchads can't stop winning 🤣

This but sad. People seem to love paying rent
- I've never heard of anyone who loves paying rent. They just don't think they can do anything about it when it gets raised.
- I don’t feel secure that my state won’t pass horribly restrictive laws driving me to leave in the next 7 years which makes the financial decision to buy not necessarily worth it
Winning a piece of lead in their stomach or a piece of steel through their necks?

And now anyone that has beef with him can make a copy of his keys and waltz in the front door.

I don't love that I saw this post and the very first thought I had was that I hope those aren't their actual front door keys.
- The trick is finding his front door
  Edit: and we all know from this post op has no assets

Wow, and that's a really tiny house too. Couldn't even get a whole hand through the front door.

Obviously wasted too much money renting that large hand.

oh yeah that's so easy. why didn't i think of that? i totally forgot i've got a spare $100k over here i can use for a downpayment.
- Oh man, near me you need ten times that for a small two bedroom...
Sure, should I ask mommy and daddy for the money, or just prance out to the money tree and pluck a few hundred grand?
- Hey, can you grab a bushel for me while you're there? We've been eating a lot of money salad so we're running low.
- This is the main problem with this generation. Everyone is just complaining about the lack of money and all that but I hardly ever see anything about planting a money tree or two on your property. Sure, it takes some TLC to get it to grow but it's worth it come harvesting time. People are just lazy that's all.
