right, i’m a boring anti social asshole. that’s why i’m doing well… and not because i grew up in ‘poverty’ and had to learn to pay my own bills from a young age and now reap the rewards of lifelong responsibility and lack of a entitle attitude towards the world. where i come from nothing was given or expected. i never expected to own a home or get a job, i knew i had to earn it.

If only I had overspent all my money partying and traveling in my 20s, and i was sitting here at 40 with six figures of debt. then i’d be a ‘real’ millennial…

hard work doesn’t mean anything unless you budget. i know people who work 80 hour weeks, making 300K and are still massively in debt. because they spend more than they make.

sadly math doesn’t care about rich or poor or lucky or unlucky. many people in our generation are entitled nitwits who don’t know how math works. and many support the very same policies that are impoverishing them. most of my friends are anti-housing development, despite the fact they can’t afford homes. they cause their own suffering.
