Well how else do you live? Are you living in a tent and hunting for food? I don't want to do that, so I'd rather work. I'd say many are living with their parents, which is understandable. However, if you're over 18 (not in school), and living with your parents, you need to help out around the house and also contribute financially. I work for a fortune 500 company. We have high turnover loading/unloading trucks for $20/hr, and we have most of those things you mentioned. PTO when you start, insurance options (including a free option w/ high deductible - I think 5k for a single), paid breaks (unpaid lunch), matching 401k and profit sharing. It's not a super complicated job, but it's physical. I started at that position 21 years ago. It's not a job you want to do forever, but it's a good stepping stone position.

The issue is that women are more and more going to college and are given jobs that are in offices. The men that get the jobs in an office are Privilege men. If you're not one then sorry. Someone like me that have 2 bach degrees and should be working in an office setting. i am pretty much told sorry I am a non Privilege man so I deserve nothing but labor job. Even though I got good grades in college and earned it fairly and paid out of pocket out of my own money to pay for it. Women have so many scholarships and financial support from the government and private organizations. Google and Microsoft have programs to teach you programming a 6 month program. Men have to pay for it but it's free for women. At the end they only guarantee women a job but men it's up in the air. They tell you that you got to compete and you might get a job. So, for some getting handed jobs they gain experience an can use that to find other jobs. While men have to pay for any education and are not given jobs. They're expected to perform top and be the best of the best globally and if no you won't get a job.

Yikes. As a woman watching this video, all I see is a bunch of so-called experts being completely condescending and dismissive as to how a lot of young men are feeling right now, and what they have been dealing with. Not to mention, being entirely dismissive when it comes to the poor quality of jobs being offered to individuals nowadays that some people, particularly men, don't feel are worth working. Low wage jobs that offer little to no benefits are not anything to aspire to. And the fact that this video seems to be more concerned with economic growth to line the pockets of wealthy business owners than it does the welfare or well-being of young men who feel completely broken down and discouraged is very problematic to say the least. This is a terrible video that doesn't even ask any young man in this age demographic what he is feeling, and what are his reasons for not bothering with an obviously broken system.

My brother quit the workforce at 38. He was trying to save up money for retirement, but because of the stress at work, his health was failing, and was spending more for his health than he could save. So when he eventually quit work, his health became better. I also have a boss who worked himself to death. He did get wealthy, but when he got sick he found soon enough that getting rich was useless as there was no cure for his disease. Also, my brother gave up on having a family, if he couldn't even provide and have time for himself, then he didn't want his children to suffer for it.

I am in my 30s. I have worked only a labor job not able to afford to live on my own. I have 2 degrees in finance and accounting. There's jobs but all entry jobs want 5 to 10 years of work experience specifically in that particular job. They want 5 to 10 years working at for example A/R accounts receivable. If you worked 6 years at A/P accounts payable.. that won't qualify you because these jobs are 2 different departments even though they're both accounting and if you did one and have a college degree in it you can do the other job. This is how messed up the workforce is. However, these rules are only for men. If you're a woman they will take what they can. I applied to a job at my local city for an accounting clerk job. They wanted a college degree holder with majoring accounting. They wanted 5 years experience. I applied anyways. They never called or anything. After 2 months they took the job down and then reposted the job only requiring a high school diploma doing the same job. They then put preferred 5 years of work experience. I applied again. I had to go thru hoops. I had to take an online exam which was timed and it tested us on our math and accounting skills. If you passed you got to be able to take a in person scantron test. This again test you on math, logic, and accounting skills. They would take the top 5 that scored the highest and then make them take 2nd in person exam which was using MS office using excel and a accounting calculator. This exam was given only one specific day. If you can't make it you forfeit the job. I pass the online exam, go in person to a scantron exam and was part of the top 5 people. I then was told the day to take the 2nd in person exam. I went to it and was the only one that went to the exam. No one else was there. I was there on time. It was 10am I was in the parking lot at 8am doing some minor review of the material. Then at 9:30am I walked in and sat and waited. Then at 10am the lady giving the exam she made me wait until 10:30am. She was calling the other 4 people and leaving messages. Then she just tested me and then I got an interview with 5 people the financial director of the city a woman, the HR lady, it was all women. The finance department is 100% women. I go for my interview and I had to sit and wait. I find out there's another person that got an interview before me. There was an old lady in her late 40s that walked out of the conference room meaning she just had the meeting for the job. I was the 2nd one and that was it. They only interviewed 2 people and that lady got the job. She has 10 years of work experience in working at an office. She has a high school diploma. That was it and never worked as an accountant but she knew people that worked in side the city. She got the job and I didn't. 1 year later I see them posting a job for a CPA for $25 an hour to fix their books. They failed their annual audit.

@eddieg6436 How much did you save up before choosing to retire?

[@eddieg6436]

@@PorterPickUp At 47 I’d paid off my home, and rent a room out to a friend (he pays all utilities and extra cash I put toward my property taxes….so the property taxes are basically free to me). It’s a 4 bedroom, 3 bath home and I hardly ever see him. I also have a paid off condo I rent out down the street. My Roth has about 800K in it, my traditional IRA (work 401K) has about $350K in it, but I’m converting it in chunks to a Roth for tax reasons. I have a Chase Private Client account with around $120K in it to live off of until I’m 62 in 7 years. At age 59 1/2 I’ll be able to access the Roth, but don’t plan to touch it until around 62 when I’ll start collecting Social Security. So on my own I saved pretty well and all of that doesn’t include an inheritance from my father which is substantial and includes a Chicago house rented out near Northwestern. (Be nice to your parents even if you don’t get along with them!!).

[@BigHoTzMuZik]

When I interviewed for a IT gig, I was picked over hundreds of college grads because I was the only one that answered every question right. The recruiter called me back in disbelief and told me my stars must be aligned, but what they needed was someone with know how. I am still working in the IT industry and moved up the ladder quick; very humble and thankful in today’s times with job security being abysmal.

[@bebdaumon3948]

@@BigHoTzMuZik It's based on being lucky. The issue is that people that went to college you're not just taking IT classes. You have to take general ed like math, english, etc. So, it's not like you get to focus 100% on IT. After all that they have to review the material to prepare for interviews but if you're applying all over and constantly getting ghosted or no call backs then you get a couple jobs where you have to test for it and there's not enough time to review before hand. Experience is how you can easily pass those tests. In college you get problems in theory but you don't actually really work a real job and know the real issues in detail. You can get burnt out from college and from applying to jobs that require hoops like online tests or in person tests. the college grades are sick of taking tests. They think after getting a college degree they shouldn't need to take a test.

[@CaesarMonzaro123]

@@nocapproductions5471I really like this comment. However I’d only like to make one tiny critique in saying the “roaring twenties” after our WW1 victory was quite an economic boom. Especially for the time as well. Coming from a 108 y/o who grew up as a child during those times! It was quite a contribution to the Industrial Revolution, and led to lots of business startups. Most of which failing less than ten years later during the Great Depression. Then FDR came along (many others as well played factors FDR is just the one who generally falsely takes credit) and created the post WW2 economic boom that created EXACTLY what you’re talking about until 1987. However other economists like myself could debate the year/date though this would be pretty meaningless. You men need to be strong. Get money, and foreign entities out of politics. Have strong children and raise them to be strong loving men. It’s back to hard times. This is common, and is the natural consequence/reality of a “consumer based” economy that’s also capitalist, and in favor of corporate over employee profits. How this isn’t an obvious problem I don’t know, but it most certainly is. Good luck gentlemen. You’ll need it. I hope I passed some wisdom as my days are numbered. I hope the best for ya, I really do.
