Stop saying interest rate was a lot higher back then because homes back then cost around 50k-60k, not 400k and up. On top of that inflation has gone through the roof.
they was not making 100k either so it balance out but u moderns think u suppose to have the best of everything then wonder y u dont have enough for homes when ur gym membership, starbucks, 50k car and designer clothes drinking and smoking etc
@@terrencemcphail5782 First of all, my husband and I have a few homes and my husband is a software engineer making over 200k. We only have one car that is paid for and it's a Honda civic 2016. We live well below our means, cook mostly at home and don't spend money on expensive things. Our gym is going to the park and owning a few dumbbell weights. Everything cost less back then even though they weren't making 100k a year.

@@terrencemcphail5782 you are right other race groups in the US understands this point. BW refuse to accept this and will depend on the government for handouts instead of finding an husband.
Working people in the most prosperous nation on earth should be able to afford the basic necessities, a roof and some food. She didn't say mansions or middle class lifestyle, or nice cars, she said a home. How much sense does it make that a person working 12 to 16 hour days cannot even afford a place to live? That's the reality for many people.
We can’t pretend that all jobs are created equal. You got people out believing that they should be able to support a family of four on a cashier’s salary.
@@real80ableI’m middle aged with a decent career. Been employed since high school. I’m not entitled. I disagree with your point. In a fair world, no matter your job, if it’s a billion dollar company you should have high wages. Walmart janitor, for example.
@@real80able In one point in time in this country, you could. No not all jobs are equal but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to afford a roof over your head. Too many people are acting as if folks are asking for luxury living.
I love Anton and I am a bag chaser. But he is a tad bit out of touch for current economic times. I work in big tech and make multiple 6 figures and i am doing fine to provide transparency. On the contrary my grandpa who was a Vietnam veteran was able to buy a home and provide for my grandma, mother, aunt, and uncles on military income. Tbh I couldn’t do the same on my current income. Yes i have saved a good amount of money AND could buy a home. Currently i invest 20% into 401 K, IRA Roth maxed out yearly, emergency fund fully funded in HYSA, and I don’t have a car payment. I am doing all the right things and it’s still HARD out here.
Sure it was trash and worse than their time, but if you earn multiple 6 figures and can't do that, it's your lifestyle problem. Thing is, you can afford a wife and 2 kids, have a house, and save money. Problem is, whether the wife to be will want to accept the lifestyle. Most women in current years won't.
Job market bad... What..? I decided to change jobs 2 months ago. When I presented myself as being available to other employers, I had multiple good offers within a week and took one. Also every business owner I know is seeking employees heavily. The market isn't the issue, your desire for what you want out of the job is the issue. People want to start on top and not work their way up.
anton she not talking about a super nice home or a big home. she talking about a basic small home. People now dont even have an option of the bottom of the barrel homes. Even homes that destroyed still cost too much for average people. The interest rate on homes are 8 percent right now. So she is right.
Not just interest rates , the price tag is 80k - 100k over priced, however, price cuts are occurring 🤔, not as quickly as the price tag went up but are happening slowly (like watching paint dry) 🙄
This inflation seems more like EXTORTION. Can you imagine the state threatening to take/auction your 300k house over 7k of PROPERTY TAX.. governments gettin pretty bloodthirsty..
5/27/24....WHEN A BILL LIKE TAXES IS DUE...IT IS DUE RIGHT THEN. PLUS YOU MUST HAVE PREVIOUSLY SIGNED LOAN/CONTRACT TO PAY THAT BILL ON THAT SPECIFIC DATE 📅.... AND I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DON'T KNOW ANYBODY---1 PERSON OR 10 PPL WILL LOAN YOU $$ FOR TAXES---TO SAVE YOUR HOME --- UNLESS YOU ARE NOT TRUST- WORTHY OR YOU ARE LYING.....
@eileeneclark9011 well, I was living in the bay area at the time.. realized my kids kids would be paying for a house in that particular area so I found a private sale in the "far nor". I found a 5 year plan on a DUMP for a respectable price and the County couldn't figure out how to send the taxes to (to whom it might concern) at that address at that point for convenient reasons💩.. maybe the spiteful seller.. but anyway. I have plenty of money (it's already paid off) because I work in an area 300 miles away where there is a "BREATHING" economy and see all the sleezy things the government has done to destroy the desire to be somebody these days.. Owning a home is NOT a tax break!. The county knew they would have to SERVE ME PAPERS before selling my house which would increase the victem % of the merciless policy of the government known to the public. AND they would rather ME fix the dump ON GOVERNMENT LAND (if you know what I mean) before ripping it out of my hands and burdening a bank with it.. The democrats are clawing for money. Ever since those shiny stimulus checks. How's your 401k doing?😏
You literally say the point that most younger people are thinking without even realizing it! Between 8:30 and 8:40 on your video you state that your grandfather worked two jobs his whole life, then retired and died a few years later! WE DON'T WANT TO DO THAT! We don't want to work our whole lives away and then retire and die two years later! Sorry not sorry but that's not how it should be! The young lady in the video has a point If you have a job, working 40 hours a week then you should be able to afford a home nobody's asking you to give it to them, give it to me at a reasonable price so I don't have to work two jobs. You have a owner's mentality, not an employees! Work work work work, two or three jobs if you have to right? NO! If one job can't cut it then something's not right! The economy sucks
The problem is we outsourced manufacturing jobs overseas and now expect a full time job at McDonald’s to buy us a house. It’s never been that way, nor will it be. We need to bring back manufacturing jobs and tariff imports. Unless it’s cheaper to buy American we are screwed.
Sorry dude. You got it wrong. In the 80's, house prices were not very high in relation to incomes. I was getting 30k income and my house cost $40k. Interest rate was 15%, and taxes were not very high.
Yup. My dad made 40k with 6kids and the house he bought in Philadelphia was 53k at the time. That same house is now worth almost 200k. Then people say we get paid more in this generation, but I don’t feel like the pay gap versus the increase in the cost of living on top of the interest adds up to be more beneficial or “even”
Anton, videos like this is why people might think you're in the pocket of big biz. People deserve homes. I agree with what you say concerning context matters, but even apartments are too expensive these days. If everyone got better jobs then what would become of the situation then? Apartments and houses would go through the roof. Even the poor accommodations would become exorbitant. There's no financial or economic logic that one can use to dispel the idea that if one spends their 8 hrs elsewhere they don't deserve proper accommodations. If someone spends 8+ hrs daily then that work by default should translate to decent wages for food and shelter. Your ancestors working how they did doesn't make what's going on today any more proper, and their plight back then any less improper. Never should any person works 70+ years, then die a few years into retirement. Anton, respectfully: that's no way to live.
Exactly he be sounding clueless or trollish to me because ain’t no way 😂 im all for disagreeing and moving on but when you’re wrong youre wrong and dude is wrong.
Anyone that shops for groceries knows the economy is trash. Seems like there is no escape. I got a 3% raise this year.... while inflation is at 50%. I just can't seem to make the jump to a 150K/year job. Been stuck between 70-90K for the last 10 years, sure didn't feel this poor 10 years ago.
I could never live like that working two jobs my entire life never having time to enjoy life only focusing on my wife and kids and making sure they have the best life and never doing nothing for myself. That life sucks.
You must not have the skills for 150k salary or you suck at negotiation and selling yourself. It’s your job to sell yourself and to why you are worth $150k or do you think an employer should just drag you off the couch and hand you a salary of $150k?!?
@@ronblauvelt7457 I hear you, I'm not blaming anyone but myself. I just struggle with the higher end IT stuff. You need to make the jump to director in my field (in Fl) to get paid over 6 digits.
Also he blabbering on about his grandfather. His grandfather was REWARDED for his long hours and 2 jobs because he was able to support his family, put a roof over their heads, and food on their plate. Ppl out there are working as hard as Ole grandpappy there, and are just spinning their wheels. The economy is broken and tge anger coming up is bad for the future
The economy was easier to compete in back then since all of Europe was bombed out, the American worked had no equal during that period. Now, we live in a globalized world, and Kulwinder and Juan aren't asking for homes. Guess who the contracts go to?
Right I know men who work two jobs and the family still can’t afford for the woman to stay home with the kids, cuz most of the check from one of his jobs is ate up by the high health insurance that comes out to insure a family of four. Things have never been this bad.
Here's the deal. If you are working a job that is 12hrs or more(particularly a manufacturing job), there is no way in hell you should struggle for basic needs. And YES a place to live IS a need, whether that be home or apt. The problem is these crooked ass companies/corporations don't want to pay the workers what they are worth, on top of ridiculous inflation of everything. If the gov can send our money to other countries that don't give a damn about us, they can put that money back into the economy.
It’s gonna boil down to Citizens going at the government and really getting down to who runs our country. It’s all set up against us but helping foreigners? Do foreigners run the USA? If so, how did they get power?
We can agree to disagree. Interest rates are not as high as they used to be but home prices were drastically lower which made the mortgage prices low and affordable. I do appreciate you for your feedback and enjoyed hearing your thoughts! ❤️
They made significantly less so everything balances out ur parents was not making 100k like u may be. People always overspend they dont need those 400k houses but they buy it and 10 years later when it is worth a million property taxes gonna kill them.
@@terrencemcphail5782that first statement is untrue. It doesn’t balance out considering they had stronger purchasing power. Wages have not kept up with the rate of inflation. We can’t pretend as if corporate greed does not play a factor (even though we should still upskill and make ourselves more marketable). At the rate we’re going there will only be rich and poor people if we continue this trend.
@@ronblauvelt7457 do you not understand purchasing power? The value of those dollars for the general public are lower than the inflated equivalent rate of today. Let’s not pretend wages are much higher across most professions by a much higher margin than inflation. That’s either blatantly lying or being ignorant to economic trends.
She was saying if you work a job, you deserve a home. I think what she meant to say was that you deserve a roof over your head. Everybody doesn’t get a home!
Agreed. My father was born in the '30s, had one job and managed to pay the mortgage with 1 weeks pay. People have become brainwashed thinking having a roof over ones head means working 18 hours a day 6 days a week. 40k a year should be enough to rent in an ok neighborhood, and over 50k should be enough for a modest home.
Bro, Interest rates were higher back then, but the homes were WAY cheaper‼️ And most Black people that financed homes in the 80s and 90s with 30-year mortgages never paid their homes off‼️
@jacobybrown9796 When and where did this happen? I recall minimum wage still being the same. And Salary Cost of Living Adjustments are pennies on the dollar.
@@jacobybrown9796 Bro, you are a 100% ride. Don't let these ignorant people in the comments section sway you. Whoever does it do in this video I don't think he really has any clue what he's talking about.
The interest rates on homes were a lot higher but the PRICES of homes were a lot lower. So yes you may have a 5% rate but if the home is $500k then you’re paying more in interest than paying 15% on a $150k home
Yes, but also the houses were smaller and didn't have AC and other things. Homes do cost more because there is more. You can afford a basic small home but nobody wants that. Also, don't forget people dint eat McDonald's every day now days people have it delivered at the house. In the aspect of things yes things cost more but we are living better.. phones..internet.. work at home.. school at home.. etc.
@@frederickvalencia4976 I get what you saying but those same small “Starter homes” from back then are like 300k+ now depending on location. Most jobs haven’t increased wages except for the low paying jobs, most NEED a phone nowadays like it’s a basic utility, home Internet is 50/50 but it’s kinda like a optional utility, Most don’t work from home, most aren’t in school and most don’t use doordash/Uber Eats. The cost of everything is just up
@@frederickvalencia4976Not true. When I was trying to buy a house I was looking at basically condemned homes, mobile homes built in the 1980s, etc that were OVER my budget and I make the “average” wage in my area. It’s obvious you’re just trying to put down peoples experiences currently and actually have no clue what you’re talking about.
@@frederickvalencia4976Furthermore, if houses were so much worse in the 80s than why are older homes now more in demand than new builds? You’re acting like we’ve never seen houses built in the 80s smh.
The problem is that the average house price is now as much as 10x the median income. That’s never happened before in America’s history so the interest rates really aren’t the issue. Also, sure she gained $100k in equity, but as she on as she sells she’s going to realize that that same $260k she made will be the approximate price of another house of similar size to hers in a similar location.
Living on the outskirts of chicago was the best decision I have ever made. I'm still thirty minutes from downtown chicago. And it is so peaceful out here.And I always have a place to park ...because I have a garage😁 The crime is extremely low, The people are very friendly. And it's been multiple times when I fell asleep and left my car doors unlocked, and my front door unlocked. because i've gotten too comfortable. I need to stop doing that. People treat the stuff that they own a hell of a lot better than the stuff that they rent.
When I graduated college I worked 3 jobs. Weekday, weeknights. 8am to 3pm. Then a 5pm to 10pm and a Saturday job. 9 tob5. Saved like crazy. No weekend parties. I bought my 1st house in my mid 20s as well open our 1st nail salon. Had 5 salons at one point
you can do that now and just be able to afford a studio or 1 bedroom apartment with no wiggle room once you pay car insurance and note on a cheap vehicle.
Everyone deserves to have a roof over their head period. If we can print 35 trillion dollars for aid of other countries there’s no reason every American does not have a basic shelter for themselves
When I was younger and struggling, making “decent” money, I wanted everything I couldn’t afford. Now that I’m older and making great money I don’t care about nice cars, a big nice home or the latest fashion trends. All I want to do now is travel, meet new people and enjoy foods from the best mom and pop restaurants I can find. I want to wake up everyday stressing over “what new experiences can I find today”. I want to be on a beach or by a pool with tears in my eyes - because I can’t decide which color umbrella I want in my drink that day 😥😥😥 For me - THAT IS LIVING!
Bro stop trying to be Professor know-it-all let the woman talk we want to hear what she has to say you don't have all the answers to everything like you think you do.
I'm out here in the Bay currently. I read some report a few days ago saying that there is one open position for every 3-4 unemployed tech workers. The market is insanely competitive atm. You aren't even going up against your equals any more. You've got people who were in senior/architect type positions, can't find work, and are willing to take the demotion and pay cut just to have a job. I've been thinking about dialing back the number of hours I spend studying for my next cert and picking up another skill outside of tech just in case.
All these women now days talk and do is travel, travel, travel. When I was growing up the only people that traveled were the rich and the military. The only travel I did outside of the US until age 35 was a 4 hour trip to Canada to see Niagara Falls.
Sometimes bro just be yapping and trying to pretend like this economy ain’t ridiculous. I grew up well off middle class and my parents did factory and hospital work. Living COMFORTABLY. 6 bedrooms countless cars. He’s talking about silent generation people like cut it out fool. People aren’t working 2 hours overtime theyre working 30-40 hours OVERTIME now stop it goofy. Im fortunate enough to not be struggling and travel and all those different things but i can CLEARLY see how other people are being impacted. Mind you if the economy wasnt this trash id be living even more lavish. I see this channel as hit or miss. I check in from time to time. I support capitalism but sometimes buddy just tone deaf OR he be trolling 😂 kuz aint no way u really believe this is just ok. I agree compete compete compete but dont say this is ok.
Paid off, but can you afford property taxes on the property? I have read several articles about normal middle class retirees that can no longer afford their paid off house because of their large property taxes in NJ. They were forced to sale their paid off house or be evicted because of non payment of property taxes.
@@thesewingeyedoc My tax in North NJ is $28K. I am lucky for I have more than enough funds via my investments. Feel sory for ones the lose their homes.
30yr mortgage for 139K at 9.5%. Refinanced twice to 3.5%. Also paid the loan off early. Live where you can afford the house and all that comes with it.
Omg! McDonald’s is not supposed to be a job for the rest of your life. It’s not a job that you can make a good living on. It’s a job for part-time for highschoolers, etc. It’s a steppingstone to a better job!
That's what Mc D's used to be. A job for high schoolers to make a few dollars for food or shopping on their own. They have been replaced by permanent workers
Facts. In the 40s, people were picking cotton, milking cows, growing crops, or working in some factory in dangerous conditions. If you are grinding in an air conditioned environment and can live off your paycheck, be thankful. Stay off the daily coffee, and be proud of your apartment. Some people live in mud huts.
You mentioned our grandparents... They were about to take care of an entire family and buy a home and put our parents through college on one salary ... Come on bro
Love Anton assessment. I completely agree w/ him. We live a cupcake world. I been working 2 jobs half my life adult working life or I've had one job that requires 50+ hrs a week. I was born in 1978 so it's nothing new about going to go get the bag!!!!
Did you see that they are going to remove Coffee from the CPI starting with this month’s report? It’s because coffee has gone up and up… so that means they want people to think things are getting better 🤦🏼♀️. Also, local Red Lobster in my small city in Tx just closed… and I’ve read many closed because they filled for Chapter 11. I’m thankful our house is payed for and vehicles too. I don’t understand how people who are paying for mortgage/rent, groceries, gas and a vehicle now. I’d love to build our dream home and me get a $48k Bronco… but we don’t want to pay $1800 a month for a mortgage or $700 for a Bronco. I’ll stay in our 1500 sq ft 1983 home.
Yeah this is economy is trash right now. I'm seeing things that I've never seen going on. Also just came out that 43% of small businesses were unable to make their rent last month. 43%??? That's crazy!
I can’t agree with you on this one bro! If people are working and can’t afford a home that would’ve once been affordable then what are we saying? Even if it’s one or two rooms, people who are contributing to society and not depending on government handouts should be able to afford a damn house!
I'm trading both stocks and crypto! Thank you, my man! Christopher nolan You have no idea how much this helps me!

I'm a 24 year commercial electrician. If my employer needs me to work past 8 hours, he better start hiring more folks. I make it clear I am not their savior. I work my position and go home. I get up at 430 am. Work 7-330. If they need me past 330 they play games like clipping your hours the next day or week. I never play their game.
I feel like the economy is a little bit rough right now but I'm adjusting. I'm doing what I got to do. I'm moving on from Uber and I'm getting a job. I'm learning a new skill. I'm looking to get something solid for me and my family.
I usually agree with Anton, but did he just say the reason we can’t buy a home is because we out buying BBLs, vacations, and only want to live in mansions? I graduated with a bachelor’s degree and have had a job in my field for a few years and a second job on the weekend and still can’t afford the $3,000 monthly cost of owning a basic 3 bedroom house that cost $350K. People buying homes in the 80’s 90’s or even early 2000’s never had to work that hard and still not qualify for an old basic 3 bedroom house. I guess we have to give people like Anton a pass because they’ve been financially successful for too long that they’re out of touch with reality because they’re not going through it, but it shouldn’t be that difficult to understand if you look at the numbers. 3 years ago the average mortgage was only $1500. Fast forward to 2024, we have mass layoffs, most jobs available are only paying between $40K-$70K, but now you need to be making $120,000 a year to afford that small basic 3 bedroom house that now has an over inflated price of $350,000(that was $200K three years ago). Prices of everything have pretty much doubled in 3 years and wages haven’t even been close to keeping up. Simple as that. The economy is bad. Just because you’re wealthy enough to not feel it, doesn’t mean it’s not happening.
@user-re6vi1tr3s Yes, it would be for me and my son. I agree that homes should be for families, but people have been buying homes with one income for decades. Look at all the single women who bought 3 and 4 bedroom homes with no children, and not even a boyfriend.
@user-re6vi1tr3swell we talking about single people I'm not staying in an apartment all my life wasting my money to pay almost $1,400 a month when I can own a one-story home that they want almost $15 to $2,000 a month on that's crazy a one-bedroom apartment now depending on the area is up to $1,200 a month even the raggedy ones
The whole point of the minimum wage was the government making sure that the Corporations pay a wage equal and fair enough so that Americans can live a middle age lifestyle. Where do you think Unions came from Anton. And yes, our parents paid double-digit interest rates, however, the cost of the dollar was a dollar so it balanced out to a point. This country has allowed Corporations to become super greedy and now they don't even want to pay their workers enough to live a middle-class lifestyle, let alone anything better. Also, why couldn't people working at a fast food place make a middle-class wage and I'm saying that as a balanced Conservative/Republican that is for businesses. Those chain fast food companies make billions of dollars per year! It's like when Owners of sports franchises blame the players for wanting more money and wanting them to take a "hometown discount", meanwhile, they take no discounts to pay the players more of what they are really worth, nor take discounts from people and businesses they sell to. I rock with you Anton, however, I believe your success, which I celebrate, has clouded your reality of what normal middle-class people are going through. ***Please excuse any errors from myself or spell-check***
8:18 U telln me Anton grandad worked 2 jobs his whole career while in a health relationship and married😂😂. Dude be lying like a mfs then tryna make it seem cool to work 2 jobs your whole life just to survive🤦🏾♂️
When interest rates was high when our parents were buying homes nothing else was expensive. Yes, our parents wasn't world traveling, buying designer bags and clothes, getting their nails done, eating out. But, cars were easier to work on. I do agree that we don't deserve anything we earn what we get.
I guess she hasn't looked at a real RV, some are over one million dollars, dishwashers,fireplaces,full size refrigerators, 2 bathrooms,some are larger than an apartment in NY
Bingo ! Great video. I worked two jobs for over 10 years, yes years & went to night school at the local community college for three. No clubbing. Still it took a while to make it. And I signed up for the draft.
100% agree. I’ve been a nurse in California for 5 years. For the first 3 years I made a little over 200k with overtime (48 hrs a week) and still lived with a roommate where my rent was $1000 a month. Saved and invested for a few years and now I’m in a position where I can buy. Many people don’t want to sacrifice
You live in California and make way higher wages than the average American. I can guarantee you many people have multiple jobs and overtime and can’t even make a fraction of what you made… only 48 hours a week? You’re not as impressive as you think you are.
A cheap studio here is around 2200. Maybe 2k in the ghetto. Houses are over 600k for a 1 bd condo. A $20/hour job brings in 3466 a month. After tax and deductions, you're probably get 2400 at most. You can pretty much pay for a studio in the ghetto but won't have anything left for anything.
Heck at $20/hr in Detroit you can find an apartment but that’s gonna be very tight if not unaffordable when you add in Car insurance especially if you actually use a Detroit address. You better off staying with parents or roommates
@@Kbandz313 Exactly. Can't pay for food, utilities, transport or anything. Can I've with roommates but that comes with other problems. Can live with family but that's only if they have family. But tbh, having a full time job making more than minimum should be enough to live off on 😑... Not in luxury, but at least okayish
One of the worst sayings I've heard is "Jobs need to pay us enough to earn a decent living." You get paid what you're worth for the most part. How would you like it if your mechanic charged you more money because he's not earning enough to feed his kids? You need more money, find a better job, or generate it on your own. It's not your bosses job to fund your lifestyle.
I've start from the very bottom. Me and my wife both. Single parent homes with moms. We have accepted where we was and where we need to go. We built life up got a house under trump rates. so we probably got the cheapest mortgage you heard of. Bought the cheapest fixer-upper on the market, old aluminum widows. Paint chipping in seals. The important stuff is updated. But it's a home and I'm slowly fixing it up. Check to check screw for screw buying a few things here and here. All my peers went out and bought fully remodeled homes and pay at least 2x more than me. We are building equity and paying it off. Our decisions is the reason we've being able to keep things stable. We 32 and 29 and the people are age are struggling bc they party, get bbls, drink every weekend/day, buy bs. We're not perfect l. Things our up to our next too. But when the money fall short it's manageable and realistic. And now we working hard to increase our income while paying out lifestyle down. Our peer say all the time they wish they had our lifestyle. But when I tell they what I did most say ( they can't do what we did.) In 20 years if things go as plan praying to God it does. We will be at the top of our game owning half the town. With mad pull in politics. What's crazy is lots of them make more than we do. But they too busy tearing up lifted jeep, on vacation. My vacation consist of a 6 hour drive with the family to visit moma on a weekend. Once a coworker asked me if I wanted to go in on a mega million ticket. I told him I don't gamble. He told me I gamble in the stock market. But5 years later my $10 is now $50. I set that specific $10 in a account on its own just to shut his shit talking down when he starts going on my cheap habits. But after coming from poverty I get the chills when I hear broke shit and wife gets anxiety 😂😂 f@ck that broke sh!t every time I hear broke sh!t and go make a few dollars just to make sure I'm not going back to that sh!t. I don't know how in the hell people older than me can do it.
@@BoriPR82Trust me, if people knew of an easy way to make 6 figures they would. It’s not as simple as you’re making it out to be at all. You’re out of touch as well.
Right. The people you see on social media complaining about the economy are women not men. As men we're built for this cause we know things will always be hard in life and you have to figure something out when things are bad. Women aren't used to that. They just complain and expect someone to solve their problems
Men are complaining because both men and women can't afford homes. You need to make 120k in most states to afford an average home and it's getting worse.
Interest rates were high years ago but home prices were low. With the nflated home prices today it has made it impossible for this generation to buy a home.
i usually rock with you brother but you are bragging about getting a porch on a video about the struggling middle class... Its giving out of touch just a bit. 🤣

Anton your 💯 about the American dream. You can grind and still afford the American dream today the problem is we are twice as lazy and have twice the expectations. I know I will catch heat and I do want the best for all people but you can't adress the real issues unless your honest about them.
Your speaking facts and the only ones who will apply heat to you are the ones that this message applies to. I’m 38 and have been a home owner since I was 27. The crazy thing is that the Generation z’s are lazy as hell and they’re right behind me. I honestly blame social media and lack of awareness for most of it because these young men especially are followers.
This Is that dumb ish. Inflation has hit worldwide and you want to blame 1 person. The one you think could solve it or would have prevented it helped it along through ill thought out responses to COVID, and has not told you how he plans on solving it. Oh yeah , he wants to lower rates, putting more upward pressure on inflation.

Stop saying interest rate was a lot higher back then because homes back then cost around 50k-60k, not 400k and up. On top of that inflation has gone through the roof.
they was not making 100k either so it balance out but u moderns think u suppose to have the best of everything then wonder y u dont have enough for homes when ur gym membership, starbucks, 50k car and designer clothes drinking and smoking etc
@@terrencemcphail5782 First of all, my husband and I have a few homes and my husband is a software engineer making over 200k. We only have one car that is paid for and it's a Honda civic 2016.

I will never understand this mind set of people that think its ok for hardworking, tax paying citizens to be homeless, smh.
Working people in the most prosperous nation on earth should be able to afford the basic necessities, a roof and some food. She didn't say mansions or middle class lifestyle, or nice cars, she said a home. How much sense does it make that a person working 12 to 16 hour days cannot even afford a place to live? That's the reality for many people.

@@real80ableI’m middle aged with a decent career. Been employed since high school. I’m not entitled. I disagree with your point. In a fair world, no matter your job, if it’s a billion dollar company you should have high wages. Walmart janitor, for example.

I love Anton and I am a bag chaser. But he is a tad bit out of touch for current economic times.
I work in big tech and make multiple 6 figures and i am doing fine to provide transparency. On the contrary my grandpa who was a Vietnam veteran was able to buy a home and provide for my grandma, mother, aunt, and uncles on military income.
Tbh I couldn’t do the same on my current income. Yes i have saved a good amount of money AND could buy a home. Currently i invest 20% into 401 K, IRA Roth maxed out yearly, emergency fund fully funded in HYSA, and I don’t have a car payment.
I am doing all the right things and it’s still HARD out here.
Maybe because everything is going good for him. So he feels that every body is making excuses lol
@@fa4734 that’s literally wat it is, you get so rich you become out of touch
Sure it was trash and worse than their time, but if you earn multiple 6 figures and can't do that, it's your lifestyle problem.
Thing is, you can afford a wife and 2 kids, have a house, and save money. Problem is, whether the wife to be will want to accept the lifestyle. Most women in current years won't.
Job market bad... What..?
I decided to change jobs 2 months ago. When I presented myself as being available to other employers, I had multiple good offers within a week and took one.
Also every business owner I know is seeking employees heavily. The market isn't the issue, your desire for what you want out of the job is the issue. People want to start on top and not work their way up.
These times are challenging even with a high income and being frugal.
anton she not talking about a super nice home or a big home. she talking about a basic small home. People now dont even have an option of the bottom of the barrel homes. Even homes that destroyed still cost too much for average people. The interest rate on homes are 8 percent right now. So she is right.
Thank you for understanding my point!

@eileeneclark9011 well, I was living in the bay area at the time.. realized my kids kids would be paying for a house in that particular area so I found a private sale in the "far nor". I found a 5 year plan on a DUMP for a respectable price and the County couldn't figure out how to send the taxes to (to whom it might concern) at that address at that point for convenient reasons💩.. maybe the spiteful seller.. but anyway.
I have plenty of money (it's already paid off) because I work in an area 300 miles away where there is a "BREATHING" economy and see all the sleezy things the government has done to destroy the desire to be somebody these days..
Owning a home is NOT a tax break!.
The county knew they would have to SERVE ME PAPERS before selling my house which would increase the victem % of the merciless policy of the government known to the public. AND they would rather ME fix the dump ON GOVERNMENT LAND (if you know what I mean) before ripping it out of my hands and burdening a bank with it..
The democrats are clawing for money. Ever since those shiny stimulus checks.
How's your 401k doing?😏
I like her. When she started she got out of debt. Save her money and started making businesses. Very smart young lady
This lady is very right, too many people and companies own too many homes while many people don't have any.
You literally say the point that most younger people are thinking without even realizing it! Between 8:30 and 8:40 on your video you state that your grandfather worked two jobs his whole life, then retired and died a few years later! WE DON'T WANT TO DO THAT! We don't want to work our whole lives away and then retire and die two years later! Sorry not sorry but that's not how it should be! The young lady in the video has a point If you have a job, working 40 hours a week then you should be able to afford a home nobody's asking you to give it to them, give it to me at a reasonable price so I don't have to work two jobs. You have a owner's mentality, not an employees! Work work work work, two or three jobs if you have to right? NO! If one job can't cut it then something's not right! The economy sucks
somethings not right, especially if you have two jobs, consistently working mad overtime
I came to the comments to say this. Thank you!
Facts
The problem is we outsourced manufacturing jobs overseas and now expect a full time job at McDonald’s to buy us a house. It’s never been that way, nor will it be.
We need to bring back manufacturing jobs and tariff imports. Unless it’s cheaper to buy American we are screwed.
No Frfr who want to slave there life away to struggle when you retired and then barely can enjoy your life
Sorry dude. You got it wrong. In the 80's, house prices were not very high in relation to incomes. I was getting 30k income and my house cost $40k. Interest rate was 15%, and taxes were not very high.
That's your market, many homes were over 80K too.
Depending on your geographic, many houses range 8k - 15k early mid 80s , IJS 🤔, and my father made an annual income of 28k
How much did the average person make an hour tho missing a big part
Yup. My dad made 40k with 6kids and the house he bought in Philadelphia was 53k at the time. That same house is now worth almost 200k. Then people say we get paid more in this generation, but I don’t feel like the pay gap versus the increase in the cost of living on top of the interest adds up to be more beneficial or “even”
Interest 15% thats crazy af
Anton, videos like this is why people might think you're in the pocket of big biz.
People deserve homes. I agree with what you say concerning context matters, but even apartments are too expensive these days.
If everyone got better jobs then what would become of the situation then? Apartments and houses would go through the roof. Even the poor accommodations would become exorbitant.
There's no financial or economic logic that one can use to dispel the idea that if one spends their 8 hrs elsewhere they don't deserve proper accommodations.
If someone spends 8+ hrs daily then that work by default should translate to decent wages for food and shelter.
Your ancestors working how they did doesn't make what's going on today any more proper, and their plight back then any less improper.
Never should any person works 70+ years, then die a few years into retirement.
Anton, respectfully: that's no way to live.
Exactly he be sounding clueless or trollish to me because ain’t no way 😂 im all for disagreeing and moving on but when you’re wrong youre wrong and dude is wrong.
You said a mouthful of cold fax 🔥🔥🔥
Yes
Anyone that shops for groceries knows the economy is trash. Seems like there is no escape. I got a 3% raise this year.... while inflation is at 50%. I just can't seem to make the jump to a 150K/year job. Been stuck between 70-90K for the last 10 years, sure didn't feel this poor 10 years ago.
Yeah I got 3 percent raise too. I was like wtf
I could never live like that working two jobs my entire life never having time to enjoy life only focusing on my wife and kids and making sure they have the best life and never doing nothing for myself. That life sucks.
You must not have the skills for 150k salary or you suck at negotiation and selling yourself. It’s your job to sell yourself and to why you are worth $150k or do you think an employer should just drag you off the couch and hand you a salary of $150k?!?
Damn. You got a whole 3%?..I got a 2% inflation raise and a dry promotion. More responsibility, more work, but a better title and no extra income. 😑
@@ronblauvelt7457 I hear you, I'm not blaming anyone but myself. I just struggle with the higher end IT stuff. You need to make the jump to director in my field (in Fl) to get paid over 6 digits.
Also he blabbering on about his grandfather. His grandfather was REWARDED for his long hours and 2 jobs because he was able to support his family, put a roof over their heads, and food on their plate.
Ppl out there are working as hard as Ole grandpappy there, and are just spinning their wheels.
The economy is broken and tge anger coming up is bad for the future
Not to mention he literally said his grandpappy died a few yrs after he retired. Is this what he’s preaching?
The economy was easier to compete in back then since all of Europe was bombed out, the American worked had no equal during that period.
Now, we live in a globalized world, and Kulwinder and Juan aren't asking for homes. Guess who the contracts go to?
Right I know men who work two jobs and the family still can’t afford for the woman to stay home with the kids, cuz most of the check from one of his jobs is ate up by the high health insurance that comes out to insure a family of four. Things have never been this bad.
Facts
Here's the deal. If you are working a job that is 12hrs or more(particularly a manufacturing job), there is no way in hell you should struggle for basic needs. And YES a place to live IS a need, whether that be home or apt.
The problem is these crooked ass companies/corporations don't want to pay the workers what they are worth, on top of ridiculous inflation of everything.
If the gov can send our money to other countries that don't give a damn about us, they can put that money back into the economy.
It’s gonna boil down to Citizens going at the government and really getting down to who runs our country. It’s all set up against us but helping foreigners? Do foreigners run the USA? If so, how did they get power?
Exactly
Nothing but facts!!
We can agree to disagree. Interest rates are not as high as they used to be but home prices were drastically lower which made the mortgage prices low and affordable. I do appreciate you for your feedback and enjoyed hearing your thoughts! ❤️
They made significantly less so everything balances out ur parents was not making 100k like u may be. People always overspend they dont need those 400k houses but they buy it and 10 years later when it is worth a million property taxes gonna kill them.
@@terrencemcphail5782 home prices have increased nearly double meanwhile salaries have only increased by 78%. I mean….
@@terrencemcphail5782that first statement is untrue. It doesn’t balance out considering they had stronger purchasing power. Wages have not kept up with the rate of inflation. We can’t pretend as if corporate greed does not play a factor (even though we should still upskill and make ourselves more marketable). At the rate we’re going there will only be rich and poor people if we continue this trend.
And wages are much higher than they were in the 70s and 80s… your point is mute
@@ronblauvelt7457 do you not understand purchasing power? The value of those dollars for the general public are lower than the inflated equivalent rate of today.

@@breadbutter8708I deserve a million dollars 😂
Agreed. My father was born in the '30s, had one job and managed to pay the mortgage with 1 weeks pay. People have become brainwashed thinking having a roof over ones head means working 18 hours a day 6 days a week. 40k a year should be enough to rent in an ok neighborhood, and over 50k should be enough for a modest home.
Bro, Interest rates were higher back then, but the homes were WAY cheaper‼️ And most Black people that financed homes in the 80s and 90s with 30-year mortgages never paid their homes off‼️
that's because they brought new cars every 2 to 3 years.. they refinanced.
They where paying the basic and not putting more into paying it off early
Wages were so higher adjusted for inflation also.

The interest rates on homes were a lot higher but the PRICES of homes were a lot lower. So yes you may have a 5% rate but if the home is $500k then you’re paying more in interest than paying 15% on a $150k home
My parents had an interest rate of around 15%. They paid about 50k for their house back in 1975, 10 miles from Washington, DC.
She's more correct than you are.
In the 80s house we're 47k so the higher rate was off set by the affordable prices
Just look at corporations. They will tell you differently. Some people are unable to play the game.
Yes, but also the houses were smaller and didn't have AC and other things. Homes do cost more because there is more. You can afford a basic small home but nobody wants that. Also, don't forget people dint eat McDonald's every day now days people have it delivered at the house. In the aspect of things yes things cost more but we are living better.. phones..internet.. work at home.. school at home.. etc.
@@frederickvalencia4976 I get what you saying but those same small “Starter homes” from back then are like 300k+ now depending on location. Most jobs haven’t increased wages except for the low paying jobs, most NEED a phone nowadays like it’s a basic utility, home Internet is 50/50 but it’s kinda like a optional utility, Most don’t work from home, most aren’t in school and most don’t use doordash/Uber Eats. The cost of everything is just up
@@frederickvalencia4976Not true. When I was trying to buy a house I was looking at basically condemned homes, mobile homes built in the 1980s, etc that were OVER my budget and I make the “average” wage in my area. It’s obvious you’re just trying to put down peoples experiences currently and actually have no clue what you’re talking about.
@@frederickvalencia4976Furthermore, if houses were so much worse in the 80s than why are older homes now more in demand than new builds? You’re acting like we’ve never seen houses built in the 80s smh.
The problem is that the average house price is now as much as 10x the median income. That’s never happened before in America’s history so the interest rates really aren’t the issue.
Also, sure she gained $100k in equity, but as she on as she sells she’s going to realize that that same $260k she made will be the approximate price of another house of similar size to hers in a similar location.

I believe my 30 yr mortgage 1991 for $160K was at 17%. Paid off the loan in 15 years, house today estimate $1.2M in NJ.
It's not that house is worth 1.2 million it's that the dollar is worth 50% less, just my worthless opinion.
Sell it and MOOOOOVE! The taxes on it and the proposed taxes coming up will ruin the investment.
Paid off, but can you afford property taxes on the property? I have read several articles about normal middle class retirees that can no longer afford their paid off house because of their large property taxes in NJ. They were forced to sale their paid off house or be evicted because of non payment of property taxes.

I've been following you, having success with your moves during my breaks at work, and I want to give props where it's due! Thank you and LFG! 100
I'm a 24 year commercial electrician. If my employer needs me to work past 8 hours, he better start hiring more folks. I make it clear I am not their savior. I work my position and go home. I get up at 430 am. Work 7-330. If they need me past 330 they play games like clipping your hours the next day or week. I never play their game.
Don’t get yourself fired.
We need workplace reform! The problem is nobody is getting paid what they deserve!
I feel like the economy is a little bit rough right now but I'm adjusting. I'm doing what I got to do. I'm moving on from Uber and I'm getting a job. I'm learning a new skill. I'm looking to get something solid for me and my family.
Go to school to be a dental hygienist. $35-45 after degree
I usually agree with Anton, but did he just say the reason we can’t buy a home is because we out buying BBLs, vacations, and only want to live in mansions? I graduated with a bachelor’s degree and have had a job in my field for a few years and a second job on the weekend and still can’t afford the $3,000 monthly cost of owning a basic 3 bedroom house that cost $350K. People buying homes in the 80’s 90’s or even early 2000’s never had to work that hard and still not qualify for an old basic 3 bedroom house. I guess we have to give people like Anton a pass because they’ve been financially successful for too long that they’re out of touch with reality because they’re not going through it, but it shouldn’t be that difficult to understand if you look at the numbers. 3 years ago the average mortgage was only $1500. Fast forward to 2024, we have mass layoffs, most jobs available are only paying between $40K-$70K, but now you need to be making $120,000 a year to afford that small basic 3 bedroom house that now has an over inflated price of $350,000(that was $200K three years ago). Prices of everything have pretty much doubled in 3 years and wages haven’t even been close to keeping up. Simple as that. The economy is bad. Just because you’re wealthy enough to not feel it, doesn’t mean it’s not happening.
@user-re6vi1tr3s Yes, it would be for me and my son. I agree that homes should be for families, but people have been buying homes with one income for decades. Look at all the single women who bought 3 and 4 bedroom homes with no children, and not even a boyfriend.
@user-re6vi1tr3swell we talking about single people I'm not staying in an apartment all my life wasting my money to pay almost $1,400 a month when I can own a one-story home that they want almost $15 to $2,000 a month on that's crazy a one-bedroom apartment now depending on the area is up to $1,200 a month even the raggedy ones
I will always be against corporations owning residential properties it's just outright greed.
His excitement for that car will last like 3 weeks lol
The whole point of the minimum wage was the government making sure that the Corporations pay a wage equal and fair enough so that Americans can live a middle age lifestyle. Where do you think Unions came from Anton. And yes, our parents paid double-digit interest rates, however, the cost of the dollar was a dollar so it balanced out to a point. This country has allowed Corporations to become super greedy and now they don't even want to pay their workers enough to live a middle-class lifestyle, let alone anything better.
Also, why couldn't people working at a fast food place make a middle-class wage and I'm saying that as a balanced Conservative/Republican that is for businesses. Those chain fast food companies make billions of dollars per year! It's like when Owners of sports franchises blame the players for wanting more money and wanting them to take a "hometown discount", meanwhile, they take no discounts to pay the players more of what they are really worth, nor take discounts from people and businesses they sell to. I rock with you Anton, however, I believe your success, which I celebrate, has clouded your reality of what normal middle-class people are going through. ***Please excuse any errors from myself or spell-check***
Nah the girl make more sense bro
His ego won't allow him to admit it😂
You don't own anything in this life anyway you miss paying property taxes one time they come and get it after paying a mortgage for 30 years
8:18 U telln me Anton grandad worked 2 jobs his whole career while in a health relationship and married😂😂. Dude be lying like a mfs then tryna make it seem cool to work 2 jobs your whole life just to survive🤦🏾♂️
When interest rates was high when our parents were buying homes nothing else was expensive. Yes, our parents wasn't world traveling, buying designer bags and clothes, getting their nails done, eating out. But, cars were easier to work on. I do agree that we don't deserve anything we earn what we get.
Anton your lack of awareness is showing. I be trying to subscribe but you constantly get great topics and miss the point. Good video though
I guess she hasn't looked at a real RV, some are over one million dollars, dishwashers,fireplaces,full size refrigerators, 2 bathrooms,some are larger than an apartment in NY
Bingo ! Great video. I worked two jobs for over 10 years, yes years & went to night school at the local community college for three. No clubbing. Still it took a while to make it. And I signed up for the draft.
More people need to love this phrase, I do what I have to do, to be able to do what i want to do💯🙏🏾
True about interest rates, but the salaries don't go as far a they use to..
She had a $70000 car and a $165000 house. That's interesting.
Anton. Keeping it real. 2008 was a wake-up call for many of us
100% agree. I’ve been a nurse in California for 5 years. For the first 3 years I made a little over 200k with overtime (48 hrs a week) and still lived with a roommate where my rent was $1000 a month. Saved and invested for a few years and now I’m in a position where I can buy. Many people don’t want to sacrifice
many people are not making that high of a salary either.
You live in California and make way higher wages than the average American. I can guarantee you many people have multiple jobs and overtime and can’t even make a fraction of what you made… only 48 hours a week? You’re not as impressive as you think you are.
Upghreyed is the pimp from the movie “idiocracy” 😂
She's pretty too...❤
She better shop at Aldi's!😎
A cheap studio here is around 2200. Maybe 2k in the ghetto. Houses are over 600k for a 1 bd condo.
A $20/hour job brings in 3466 a month. After tax and deductions, you're probably get 2400 at most.
You can pretty much pay for a studio in the ghetto but won't have anything left for anything.
Heck at $20/hr in Detroit you can find an apartment but that’s gonna be very tight if not unaffordable when you add in Car insurance especially if you actually use a Detroit address. You better off staying with parents or roommates
@@Kbandz313 Exactly. Can't pay for food, utilities, transport or anything. Can I've with roommates but that comes with other problems. Can live with family but that's only if they have family. But tbh, having a full time job making more than minimum should be enough to live off on 😑... Not in luxury, but at least okayish
One of the worst sayings I've heard is "Jobs need to pay us enough to earn a decent living." You get paid what you're worth for the most part. How would you like it if your mechanic charged you more money because he's not earning enough to feed his kids? You need more money, find a better job, or generate it on your own. It's not your bosses job to fund your lifestyle.
I've start from the very bottom. Me and my wife both. Single parent homes with moms. We have accepted where we was and where we need to go. We built life up got a house under trump rates. so we probably got the cheapest mortgage you heard of. Bought the cheapest fixer-upper on the market, old aluminum widows. Paint chipping in seals. The important stuff is updated. But it's a home and I'm slowly fixing it up. Check to check screw for screw buying a few things here and here.
All my peers went out and bought fully remodeled homes and pay at least 2x more than me. We are building equity and paying it off.
Our decisions is the reason we've being able to keep things stable. We 32 and 29 and the people are age are struggling bc they party, get bbls, drink every weekend/day, buy bs.
We're not perfect l. Things our up to our next too. But when the money fall short it's manageable and realistic. And now we working hard to increase our income while paying out lifestyle down. Our peer say all the time they wish they had our lifestyle. But when I tell they what I did most say ( they can't do what we did.) In 20 years if things go as plan praying to God it does. We will be at the top of our game owning half the town. With mad pull in politics. What's crazy is lots of them make more than we do. But they too busy tearing up lifted jeep, on vacation. My vacation consist of a 6 hour drive with the family to visit moma on a weekend. Once a coworker asked me if I wanted to go in on a mega million ticket. I told him I don't gamble. He told me I gamble in the stock market. But5 years later my $10 is now $50. I set that specific $10 in a account on its own just to shut his shit talking down when he starts going on my cheap habits.
But after coming from poverty I get the chills when I hear broke shit and wife gets anxiety 😂😂 f@ck that broke sh!t every time I hear broke sh!t and go make a few dollars just to make sure I'm not going back to that sh!t.
I don't know how in the hell people older than me can do it.
I don’t want a home because Job security is out the window. I am debt free and happy in an apartment. With a great savings account.
same tbh
I've been following her channel. She's down to earth and gives practical advice.
This dude generalizing based on who/ what he see on tik tok. Most people not trying to live above means. Economy is trash, inflation is way too high.
The problem is people dont look for work that the economy is demanding. 6 month certification in IT can make 6 figures. No excuses
They will still complain and vote democrat
Not everybody wants to work in tech, furthermore the job market proves that tech jobs are the most vulnerable/not much job security
@@JDMSwervo2001 there are alot of Jobs people dont want to work but when there is no good paying jobs, needs come over wants.
@@BoriPR82Trust me, if people knew of an easy way to make 6 figures they would. It’s not as simple as you’re making it out to be at all. You’re out of touch as well.
@@jomr4249 i have 18 year olds in my industry starting at 80k a year no experience
The problem is that the $265,000 that she is getting from the sale of her home can not acquire a decent home in today's market.
Men aren't complaining.. we're just making it happen.
Right. The people you see on social media complaining about the economy are women not men. As men we're built for this cause we know things will always be hard in life and you have to figure something out when things are bad. Women aren't used to that. They just complain and expect someone to solve their problems
Men are not complaining because all they want to do is go work and chill at home most of the time.
Men are complaining because both men and women can't afford homes. You need to make 120k in most states to afford an average home and it's getting worse.
@@SvhHixontell em
What? I watch UA-cam videos of dudes complaining all the time. Was just watching one earlier today.
Interest rates were high years ago but home prices were low. With the nflated home prices today it has made it impossible for this generation to
buy a home.
Inflated for whom? The people who bought 30 -40 years ago hoping that their home would increase in value don't think so.
i usually rock with you brother but you are bragging about getting a porch on a video about the struggling middle class... Its giving out of touch just a bit. 🤣
Fuck the interest rates.The problem is the over valuation of the homes vs the depreciation of the money earned.
4:24 man everybody deserves a home what is this dude talking about?
He's right if you don't work you don't eat. Nobody is entitled to nothing in this life.
@@eriqlundy9572 he wrong tho everybody not entitled but we damn sure shouldn’t have to slave our life’s away just to afford one either
I rock with God!!! We good!! Always taking care of the less fortunate!!! Blessing!!!
Anton says he owns his properties "outright." The reality is he is hedging other properties to purchase others, which is a PYRAMID of cards.
Ask Anton how much he owes on the other properties? 🤔
WHO'S.. going to buy her house @7% interest rate ❓...🤔🤔..IF the buyer can get a lender ❓❓.....
A whole generation of young women are living in the most expensive city in their entire state while working full time for an entry level salary but preaching “soft girl life”
That's not true interest rates are higher now and you're not accounting for inflation
$15 dollars invested for 40 years in the S&P 500 in a slightly above average environment turns into $1500. So... Saying it's nothing... Isn't true. Shout out to the investors.
FORTH YEARS!!!! I could go work at the local Home Depot for that son you gotta be kidding me
I bought investment/rental property in Nashville and I live in Los Angeles and it’s worked out just fine.
I paid cash for the rental property in Nashville- no mortgage.
Dude just be talkn he sounds like a capitalist it’s all about money to Anton
Of course, what are you in it for? You want the govt to take care of you?
Anton your 💯 about the American dream. You can grind and still afford the American dream today the problem is we are twice as lazy and have twice the expectations. I know I will catch heat and I do want the best for all people but you can't adress the real issues unless your honest about them.
Your speaking facts and the only ones who will apply heat to you are the ones that this message applies to. I’m 38 and have been a home owner since I was 27. The crazy thing is that the Generation z’s are lazy as hell and they’re right behind me. I honestly blame social media and lack of awareness for most of it because these young men especially are followers.
There's no way in hell we should be working harder than several generations before us.
I own 12 properties in Gary indiana. A lot of them are renting for 1200 and up.
They voted for it, so enjoy it. I mean hey, at least Biden isn't racist right? I mean that's all that matters, not real policies 😂😂😂😂
Kid brains I swear
Exactly they deserve exactly what they vote for
Lots of idiots out here, they will be voting Biden again. Those idiots who vote for Biden shouldn’t say shit about economy!
This Is that dumb ish. Inflation has hit worldwide and you want to blame 1 person. The one you think could solve it or would have prevented it helped it along through ill thought out responses to COVID, and has not told you how he plans on solving it. Oh yeah , he wants to lower rates, putting more upward pressure on inflation.
@illtrill what was the gas prices? How many immigrants was walking across the border? Who had THE WORLD scared to mess with America? Ya boy you trying to defend can't even put a sentence together, showering with his 11 year old daughter among other things. It's not about the man, it's the policies kind sir
Two UA-camrs I like to watch!!! Great info 🎉
