Cost of living has really only increased significantly for rent in major urban centers and services like lates and chipotle burritos.
If ur not a lazy impulsive melinieal u can still live off $200/mo in groceries just like how ur parents did. Quit buying avocado toast and spending ur checking account to zero every damn month

You think that's bad? Consider yourself lucky, fucker.

Hard times, strong men. Strong men, good times. Good times weak men. Weak men, hard times. It's no coincidence you choose the decade following a world war as a example of how good things could be. The weak boomers enjoyed those good times, and leave us now with hard times, take heart that it is us who will be remembered as strong.
Also own 3 cars and have a mortgage. 1800 dollars left over every month after bills and budget.

That’s demonstrably false. Healthcare, housing, food etc have all increased while wages stagnated. Nice Heritage Foundation meme though.
Nathaniel Martinez
well trumps tax cuts for the 1% will start trickling down any day now user
How would you know Yank, your civilization hadn't even been birthed yet. Eh, fat cat Venetian (((merchants))) profiting off asian trade on the silk road bring back super bug that wipes out the weak 1/3 of the population in my country allowing wages to jump into the sky for skilled workers. Fits decently well in my opinion.
Samuel Harris
>2 cars >decent house I do believe you’re wrong here. Most families only had one car; and “decent house” means something much different today. Those working-class houses built in the 40s and 50s are tiny as fuck and are basically shacks by today’s standards, and in most places remain totally affordable for someone making $40-50k or so, because they’re in shitty working class neighborhoods full of white trash, spics and niggers.
Jace Brown
then how come my father still has his parents 3 story house, and his father had 3 cars back in this time period. retired at 50. died a few years later? lemme hear how you know about this time period.
The absolute state of pol retards. Let me know how you explain all the other plagues in history too. Plus the great flood that wiped out the early civilizations. And earthquake that wiped out Lisbon. Or Pompeii.

You clearly implied it with your “muh evil merchants” schtick. It is a retarded meme that drastically oversimplifies the conditions that leads to historical eras and allows pollards to reinforce their own views.

Dip shits don't realize that education barely means shit now. Trade jobs trump degrees. I make way more than any of my retarded friends who fell for the college meme.

Here comes the “muh abuse, muh alcohol” revisionism. Maybe your parents were doghsit. My people were god fearing Christians.
Logan Green
If you’re in the right field, have lots of experience and work a lot then ok. But the average tradecuck is not pulling in six figures. It’s a Jow Forums meme.

I married my virgin high school sweetheart. She’s redpilled, attractive, white, and I didn’t even have to become a Christian. Kek!
Jose Sanchez
This, I live in a 800sq/ft house built in 1952 it has a one car garage and is on a huge lot, but it's worth about $280k because it's right outside of Portland has a huge lot and is in a still mostly white neighborhood (some old Japs live by me)

That's false.

Is that why they send money to Africa?
Grayson Butler
not OP and personally i'm doing just fine (mostly thanks to getting a degree without accumulating any debt), but you're the definition of a pantywaisted bootlicker if you deny the data points of wage stagnation. of course, fags like you are generally the kind of republicuck degenerates who make 50k a year working 2 jobs like a bitch and somehow think this makes you a "man", ahahahahaha
Easton Campbell

Parker Rivera
Sell that shit to some niggers you'll make way more money!
Jordan Anderson
yes of course, my intention isnt to deny that. my parents worked their asses off so i could a cushy upper middle class life, and i springboarded off of that and now make ~120k / year, own a house, etc.
my point is that not everyone had that luxury and the data clearly demonstrate that wages/earnings have been stagnant for the average worker for a long time. the whole "i got mine, fuck you if you get yours" attitude is exactly why america is turning into a shithole in the first place, and also why your average red state (where that attitude is 10x more prevalent, particularly by their elected officials) looks more like a developing country than a proper 1st world one.
Caleb Adams
My grandfather born in 1935 rased 6 kids and was the strongest must upstanding strong Catholic man I ever met. he paved freeways for a living his kids where all well behaved, no one was ever hungry, if they needed food he would go shoot a deer, he had 5 daughters all got married and had children right after high school (no whoring around in college) all raised Catholic children, and his one son got a mechanical engineering degree got married raised 3 Catholic children who all have huge families now. They don't make them like that anymore, he served as my role model my pussy boomer dad couldn't hold a candle to him. His funeral was a tragedy for our family because we lost our anchor but he was surrounded by his 6 kids, 30 grand children, his MOTHER, and his loving wife.

Maybe pulling in 6 figures in order to have a good living by modern standards is a jewish meme, perpetuated by college shills, marketing/FIRE sector boomers and retards online.
What are we? Are we the weak men creating hard times? Or were the boomers?

A long time, people will still need to be in them even if they can drive themselves.
Logan Cook
I hope your right
Christian Torres
It's going to be a long time before any state says it's ok for a 100,000lb truck to drive it's self with no one in it to over ride it's automatic controls. Airplanes don't need pilot's at this point, they could fly them all like drones, but they still have them on board.
