[@TexasRiverRat31254]

Same here EXCEPT! My Dad worked 50, 60 hours a week or more but he had jobs with union wages and benefits, plus they lived within their means. Vacations were family camping in tents, not RV's close to where we live. I saw how hard he and my Mom worked so I didn't have children, gave up on having a woman living with me as they're demanding dependents. I had a skilled trade, traveled to where the work was and now have two pensions and social security to live on out in the country in a simple little place that's bought and paid for. If you weren't born into a wealthy family life is not going to be "fair" or "easy", you'll have to work your A*S off to get anything. Quit complaining!

Omg. I used to live comfortably until 2019 with minimum wage and have hobbies free of stress. After 2021...I have to work several times harder, twice the hours and 2x min wage just to live at an apartment with basic stuff. Free time is mostly gone, only have time and energy for meaningless things like watching videos and some comments. It's brutal. For these people to tell me the american dream isn't dead when I see it already buried lol! They are living on another planet. Then again, conservatives were never good at motivating the youth. That's why they are losing the culture war. They can't understand. And rich conservatives are even worse: Not only are they living on another planet, they are also millions of years in the past of that planet!

Sorry. The american dream is not available for the majority of people. When I was in school, I was told that if you work hard, be moral, and things will work out. That worked for 90% of the population. You didn't have to have a high IQ or a side hustle or a silver spoon in your mouth. Today you have to scramble harder than any previous generation currently living. You also have to be incredibly lucky. Although it can work out the realization that its not working for 90% of the people should be a wake up call for all of us.

That is because of the economics of that time. Nothing will be static, life changes, economies change generations change. What is the economic American dream for you? What is it for your generation? You have to understand why things were so much more different previously. You need to learn your history. That was such a blip on the radar. That is not the norm. Everybody keeps comparing today’s economy with what was happening in the 50s and 60s. Why? Why were the 50s and 60s and even 70s an easier time to own a home and only have one person in the household that actually had to work? Think about it. Why was it like that?

Further, the largest wealth transfer in human history occurs every year with Medicare and Social Security. Social Security is insolvent and Millennials and Gen Z pay into the fund and the government continues to borrow and print money to pay for Boomer entitlement benefits, even though they are the wealthiest generation in American history. We are on pace to exceed 50 trillion in national debt within the next decade due to the economic policies of the Boomers. This is proven by the fact our national deficit was 1 trillion in 1984, when they assumed power, and the fact we are currently at 35 trillion in national debt and spending 1 trillion every 100 days

And this was 6 years ago. Prices have since skyrocketed. I watch my younger siblings struggle more than ever just to pay rent. My sister has Zero Hobbies other than things that are free (walking in the park, swimming in the lake etc) and she couldn't even afford to get a dog!!! The American dream of home ownership is gone, the American dream of having a family before 40 is gone, the American dream of saving up for a vacation once every couple of years is gone, heck the American dream of being able to replace your washer and dryer if they go out is gone.

People who have over a decade and a half of experience and success aren't getting jobs. We have to resort to door dash, uber, lyft. It's not like we are sitting on our asses. We work a 3 man job then get kicked to the curb. There is no long term with corporations. Respectfully, I have a difference of opinion. Understand we get screwed out of pay too. So much bias clicks etc. Bust our ass to get no advancement. People go back to college to get more certificates ans degrees and still its rough. I agree voting is key that's why I voted for Trump for better jobs and tax cuts, safer living. Still it goes further so many states have corrupt individuals, the government is in trillions of dollars of debt and still we have an economy that can never be even stable for a decade.
