No, as in, they receive welfare cuz he wont work after retirement 🙄 nice try though

Yep." The median price of a home sold in the United States in January 1970 was $23,600. The median price of a home sold in the United States in January 2011 was $240,100. As of May 2019, the U.S. median home price was $315,000."
@@jasadin But you literally have to on purpose try to make less than 80k. 100k jobs are sprouting on indeed and linkdin like cherry blossoms right now. It isn't hard, sure would be nice to have a mortgage payment of 600 rather than 11000 but easy peasy still.

He looks like a adult Andrew, from Big Mouth. He even sounds a little like Andrew too.
Holy crap, you're right
When he said ‘$5000’ and started talking about ‘buying a house’ I was crying lmao this is such a sad reality
I put less than 5 grand down for my house last year. I was 24 making $13 a hour, but built my credit and used my 401k for the deposit. I'm gonna guess he lives in Cali or New York. Those states look messed up from the outside looking in. No offense if anyone lives there.
Matthew Christy you were lucky enough to have a 401k with money in it dude. That is also not a reality for everyone. Do you have kids? Or a disability? Or an aging parent to care for full-time while also working?
@@squidskid4934 you're right I am very lucky. Alot of people nowadays are too though. You can do it with a 401k or without one and the money was in it because I put it there. I didn't have kids because I chose to wait. I was lucky to not have to take care of my parents yet, but that time is approaching soon, they didn't save anything and are almost past being able to work. Most people aren't disabled also. What I ment was if you do have $5000 you can afford to buy a house in the majority of the US. You need to take responsibility and be attentional though. I see people with more luck than me not being responsible and wasting potential. Don't let anyone tell you what you can't do.
Matthew Christy I appreciate your response and def can see where yer coming from. As someone who has a chronic disability though, I just want to push back on your statement about disabilities not affecting most folks. Here’s a summary from the most recent census that states nearly 1in 5 people have a disability:
www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/miscellaneous/cb12-134.html
And the most telling part is this: “The report shows that 41 percent of those age 21 to 64 with any disability were employed, compared with 79 percent of those with no disability. Along with the lower likelihood of having a job came the higher likelihood of experiencing persistent poverty; that is, continuous poverty over a 24-month period.”
I am one of those millions of younger workers with a disability, plus caretaking for my elderly parent, and trying to eek out a living for myself. Luckily I don’t have kids, but these are not all choices I’ve made. These are realities of many millennials’ lives. You were lucky and made good choices among good options. I wish I had all of those options. I think that’s the crux of it. Hard work counts for a lot. But being born with options counts for more. Which is the point of the jokes in the video, right?
@@squidskid4934 I appreciate your kindness, but I do feel the need to disagree slightly. I would say options is equally as important as hard work. Ultimately it is subjective and whatever you believe is what's truly relevant. Our beliefs impact our reality and behavior very strongly. By the report you show I would be included in the statistics of someone with a disability. I personally think stating something as a disability is often doing more harm than good. The only reason I ever succeed in anything I do, is because I stop looking at myself as a victim, entitled and disabled. That wisdom was given to me through people I listened too and read about, and I owe everything to them. We've all been through hell, and if anyone hasn't they will. You never really know where or what someone's come from. I know there are people out there who have it better and complain more than me, and people who have it worse and complain less than me. I just try to focus on myself and what I can control in order to become better. My theological views aren't religiously based, but I see a great deal of wisdom in this "For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him." Wisdom can be found anywhere, and the wise individual is the one who wins. I don't know what your disability is, but I would like to atleast list a few people who helped me. Jocko Willink, Jordan Peterson, Gandhi, MLK jr, Louis Zamperini, Dave Ramsey and David Goggins. You are who you spend time with. I spend my time listening to people like this, reading about them and thinking as deeply as I can. I appreciate you taking the time to talk with me and I wish you all the luck in the world. Thank you.

@@jumbo4billion I would imagine inflation is universal. What's it like where u r and where r u?
@@exthechickenwing inflation is absolutely not universal. its a domestic aka local trend with global impacts nonetheless in some cases, but do not mistake that to mean that because a dollar here will get you 80 cents worth of gas on a given day, means the same for a dollar in a different country or in a different dollar system, they are not universal but coincidental and individual market movements.
exhibit a would be the destabilized chinese currency where they have intentionally inflated the amount of dollars in the system to be able to undermine the value of their own currency held by foreign countries. The U.S. dollar is trading actively at an all time high while i assure that this is not the case for the chinese dollar.
@@JoeGilly95 I think I am clocking in a to low an IQ to understand, certainly inadequate knowledge base... But
Can you explain the china point more?

Actually he pays Mr.krabs to work there!😂😂
I used to work delivering and installing appliances, just about every week I'd get an old person telling me about how they put themselves through college and bought their first house delivering appliances. I had to walk to work every day because I couldn't even afford to drive my own car.
The economy here in the U.S. is REALLY going to hell in a handbasket thanks to greedy elite PSYCHOS and globalist greed in general. It's hurting almost everyone except the rich 😡
Tl;dr : not bragging, this is unsustainable!
A couple years ago, my spouse and I were able to buy a home with only one of us working, while the other took care of our kids full time. But....
the breadwinner worked a difficult job like an absolute maniac, sometimes 60+ hours a week,
While the stay at home parent did everything else, cooked almost all meals from scratch and cut coupons... we gave up cable (still cant afford it) and most other entertainment that cost anything, didn't go to the movies for over three years, shared one older car (which meant the stay at home parent pushed a baby carriage a half mile to the supermarket and then walked home carrying everything and pushing the kids!)
We all dressed mostly in hand-me-downs from family and friends, cancelled our home phone and switched to older model wireless phones that came free with cheap wireless plans with minimal data, etc
It took us a reeeeeally long time to find a nice home in a good neighborhood that we could afford. We literally looked for two years, almost gave up hope.
*But that was a few years ago*
If it were *right now*
we couldnt afford anything that wasn't a bady damaged shed in a struggling corner of Detroit.
It's *crazy*
Protectobot definitely more complicated than that 😂 and we live in a capitalistic society so us consumers are just as much a part of the problem. We definitely have a problem with housing in more urban cities here in the us but our economy is actually doing very well.
@Khadijah Said That's why we seriously need an anarcho-communist or anarcho-socialist system; look up both ideologies, and you'll see why I support them. I personally am an advocate for anarcho-communism, over anarcho-socialism; but, to each their own.
No, in case you're wondering, and OFC you'll find this out with research, neither one is PURELY communism or socialism. (Trust me, the mix of anarchism, makes a significant difference.)

Not sure but you shouldn't let him out of your sight. He's the kind of person who, if you took him out to a buffet, he would start at you (unblinkingly) the whole time.
Good job Dylan
His posture is prepared. As a millennial, we must be ready to run at any time. We won't get far, because we're so damn tired, but we'll bolt at the drop of a hat.
Because he is.
It's not only the posture; it's the wild, bulging eyes, as well
“I have 9 roommates” carried a lot of rage 🤣🤣🤣

I’m dying. 😂 My dad lost my childhood home. My parents bought it in 1993, from a guy my dad worked with, for $75k. When we lost it in 2018, he owed almost $200,000. I have no idea how I’m supposed to ever have a home.
Sounds like he probably took out a reverse mortgage or something, or possibly got an adjustable rate or balloon. Terrible investments.
He most likely borrowed against the home. He took out equity and then made some bad investments. Happens a lot
He seems like the kind of guy who in five years will either be impossibly funny or will have stopped telling jokes entirely
xD
"The cellphone is the only place we can afford to live!"
According to the quote that he provided, the guy says that the NEXT one has to be attractive.
But he explanation provided was that people only listen to attractive people these days. So for a public figure to think that, and for them to also still espouse opinions in public, they must think of themselves as attractive. Of course, the dali lama was being rhetorical, and probably doesnt think people EXCLISIVELY listen to attractive individuals, but jokes are based in intepretations of reality, often skewed on purpose, so it's all fine.

I used to think I could live in a cardboard box on the streets, but if the boomers hear about it, they're to get gentrified.
I met a homeless man here in the Tampa area who tried to live and sleep in a shopping cart with a tarp over the top, but he told me that every few days, the local police would find him and harass him to move.
Not help him, just harass him to move.
I’m not saying that all cops are bad, or that all cops are this way, but these cops certainly were making things more difficult for this man.
+fenrirdies - Ok, fair point.
So why don’t the police then go focus on major crimes, violent crimes, fentanyl & opioid crimes?
Because they cannot find these crimes right out in the open.
What they DO find right out in the open are homeless people trying to survive not bothering anyone and not disturbing the peace.
But
Because those homeless are out in the open, the police harass them so that hey police feel like they accomplished something for that shift.
*I’m not referring to all police when I say this, just the ones that do harass the homeless without directing them toward services
(which IS a police job role, to direct the public specifically to the best resources and places of help, such as nonprofits & shelters).
*the last joke is priceless*
Old people and young people actually struggle with a lot of the same problems. A lot of old people can't afford their property tax because their house is overvalued, so they have to sell their home. During the Great Recession, we saw 3 generation households (grandparents, parents, children) grow because the elderly and Millennials couldn't afford a place. It's actually caused problems because older people need to work, meaning there are fewer jobs for younger people and increased competition for the jobs out there.
"So, it's less of a reminder and more of a reenactment."
Hahaha!!!!!
Phenomenal set, lots of improvement since earlier work

I remember an article in a bicycle magazine where the author was taking place in a race and couldn't take his focus off some guy in a Batman mask, cape & Speedos, with no shirt. All he was worried about the whole race was he had to at least beat this one guy. That was his motivation, he didn't care if he won or not, hahahaha...

At first his pacing seemed awkward, but then I fell into the rhythm and man, everything connected so freaking well. I really like the way he thinks.
So true, everyone who still owns a home they bought in the 80s has at least $500,000 in savings today.
I have autism & I legit learned how to recognize emotions & profile human social patterns from a psychology video that explained psychopaths & examined in depth both the neurological deviations the diagnosis entails as well as behavioral compensations (to operate successfully within society) of both the violent-expression & violent-suppression varieties.
A psychiatrist interviewee said that if a person is prospective candidate for the diagnoses of psychopath then undergoing therapy with a psychologist will actually be detrimental as they won't be healing the condition, only teaching them how to better fit in & manipulate others via techniques meant to be used for understanding/improving one's own ego. Basically giving them a compass for navigating nonexistent superego with mimicry.
I personally then studied the most successful serial killers (Ted Bundy primarily) to formulate a mental flow chart when playing a social-emotional interaction role. My success rate has improved significantly! (Measuring conversation success was not even a skill on my radar previously. Currently neurotypical people generally prefer social conventions heavy on memorization & disingenuous empathy (ex. small talk, silent nodding+parroting concerns, feigning occasional ignorance so they can explain, subtly mirroring expressions/intonations, smiling/gentle laughing, phrase repetition.)
Ted Bundy helped me function as a part of society! 🙃
